Pula

Roman arena by the Adriatic

June and September for warm swimming with smaller crowds than July-August; April, May and October favour sightseeing and lower prices over swimmingBest time

Pula is Istria's biggest city and its most Roman: the Arena, one of the largest surviving amphitheatres in the world, still hosts concerts and film screenings 2,000 years after Vespasian built it. It's a working port and university town rather than a polished resort, which means real neighbourhood life alongside the ruins, plus quick access to Istria's olive oil, truffle and wine country and to rocky Adriatic swimming spots just south of the centre.

Когда ехатьJune and September for warm swimming with smaller crowds than July-August; April, May and October favour sightseeing and lower prices over swimming
Как передвигатьсяCentre is walkable; local buses (line 1 to Stoja, line 2 to Verudela) reach the beach suburbs cheaply and frequently
Где остановитьсяVerudela for full-service resort hotels and family amenities a short bus ride from the centre; Stoja for a beach-and-urban mix within walking distance of downtown; the historic centre for the Arena and Old Town on foot
Лучше пропустить, еслиAnyone chasing a polished, purely resort-town feel; the centre has an unpolished, workaday edge alongside the antiquities
