PULA, Croatia (Istria) - Things To Do & Best Beaches

- Things To Do & Best Beaches In Pula Croatia, on the tip of Istria Peninsula. Pula may not be a picture-perfect coastal town like some other places in Croatia, but it is almost a perfect summer holiday destination. Pula was home of the Romans and the Venetians and was the major naval port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Between the world wars it belonged to Italy and after the WWII it became part of Yugoslavia, succeeded by Croatia. Rich history makes Pula a unique town filled with ancient Roman monuments, Venetian palaces and huge number of Austrian fortresses. It is surrounded by a beautiful coastline and amazing islands including famous Brijuni National Park. I’m Rok and I’ve spent last 9 years travelling around Europe as a tour guide and I want to show you my favourite Things To Do In Pula Croatia and some of the best Pula beaches.

I am from Pula, this is the best video about my city I've ever seen... well done 👌
Thank you. I loved my time in Pula, it is a wonderful place. I appreciate your comment very much.
I’m going to Pula this summer with my friends. Do you know any hidden gems, worth to visit or any places which are not so hyped or only known by locals? And is there any beach, where we could play volleyball?
@@oli_brtln@oli_brtln I think you must visit the Amphitheatre, the forum and Zero strasse, also the island of Brijuni. What we all really like is Rt Kamenjak and the Safari bar. You can play volleyball in Valkane, Medulin and Pjescana Uvala. And Pula has really beautiful beaches, Havajsko beach, Umbrella beach, Pjescana Uvala near the Batana bar on the beach and of course Rr Kamenjak. There are many more beautiful beaches.
Nice🙌 am also going to pula this summer with friends. Have the same questions@@oli_brtln

@Katie Sophia: How was the trip?:)
@@mw8151 it was amazing !!
Great video even though I’m just now seeing it. I’m planning a trip to Pula in September, only for three days, because I booked it too late to coordinate certain things, but I am still looking forward to it because of my love of history and interest in the Roman Empire. I managed to get a hotel right in the center which is quite beneficial for me because I have multiple sclerosis. But your video helped me see that I can probably see most things I want to see. Thanks for sharing your expertise on this subject.
Thanks for sharing your story and for your support. Happy this video came useful. I wish you an amazing trip to Pula.
Super video :)))
Thanks 🤗

Best video ever
Thanks 🤗
We are going to Croatia next Week, and we will visit all the places that you recommend and more 😁Quick quastion what type of camera you are using for filming. Great job, we love it. Thank you
Thank you. Happy to see this videos are useful 😁 I use more cameras but my main one is Sony A7SIII. I wish you great time in Croatia.
eu vejo muitos vlogs de viagem e o seu sempre foi o que eu mais gostei. sempre vi seus videos em inglês mas aí do nada apareceu um vc falando em pt aí eu falei aaaaah claro que tinha que ser brasileiro, gente boa demais kkkkkk.
to indo fazer uma viagem italia/Croácia mes que vem e seus videos tem me ajudado muito valeu seu trabalho é muito massa!
Thanks 🤗 I wish you a great trip.
I love it ❤️ and I made a reservation but I don't have any idea about the first step from the central station waht should I take bus or taxi to my sweet this is my first time visiting pula
Thanks. It all depends where your accommodation is and how much luggage you have with you. I usually try to use public buses as they are much cheaper than taxi. If you use public buses ticket can be purchased directly from the driver and the price is 11 kn. The ticket is only one way and is valid for an hour. Here is useful link www.buscroatia.com/local-buses-pula/
If you will use a taxi ask for price before the ride.
@@rokgoesaround Thank you very much for answering
👍👍👍👍 please share public transport connectivity Pula to Zagreb Croatia

Great video, how do I go to Brijuni national park?
Thank you. It is really an amazing place. Start watching at 11:50 and you will find your answer ;)
Congratulations on your analytical, synthesis and communicative skills! This is an excellent video and I believe you should be a teacher.
Do you know of any sandy beaches around Pula? Can be artificial like in Rovinj.
Thanks. Well a tour guide is sort of a teacher 😉 I don't know about any sandy beaches in Pula itself, but I believe in nearby resort Medulin there is a sandy beach.
@@rokgoesaround Excellent, thank you! Medulin it shall be.
Croatian women are beautiful, and I saw for myself. During my summer vacation in Croatia, I met a beautiful Croatian woman who is now my wife. I also recommended to a friend to go to Croatia to find eternal love for himself, he listened to me, now he also lives in a happy marriage. By the way, I am also from Belgium.
Nice story. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there are too many trips offering tours to Brijuni. Which do i book to access the safari trip as well

Grande la Croazia ! Un suo monumento simile a quello di Roma costruito duemila anni fa dai croati .
name of the music at 01:05 ?
name of the intro music plz?
Is there any Hotels near thise beautiful beaches?
Yes there are. Resorts with hotels and beautiful beaches are south from the old town.
Is Pula worth visiting? Pula is very interesting town and it is definitely worth visiting if you are already in Istria. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to visit Pula. But if you are already visiting Istria, then yes. I will add that Pula is beautiful city in Istria with lots of Roman and Venetian buldings ..
Do you think one day trip from Venice to Pula will be okay to just see Arena and city center, and then back to Venice?
Yes, that will work. You plan to go by boat?
@@rokgoesaround Yes, but not sure if I could find a boat from Lido di Venice not the city of Venice, need to do some more research on this 🧐
Im from Romania and pula is for my contry is pennwis
de acord
👍
God i love Pula 🥵

@@InMyBrokenChair in Romania, Pula means something else, and by the name, this guy is romanian 💀
Nisam nikad bio
My grandma family is originally from Pola, family name "De Bortoli". They escaped Pola after the enexation of Istria under the Yugoslavia because part of the Italian speaking population, majority and autoctonous population in this part of the meditertanean
Thanks for sharing this. Appreciated.
Not autochthonous. There were people living there before the romans, including the Histri tribe, from which the area gets its name.
@@ivanjelenic5627 OK, but Histri are related to Italy since they are one of the Italic tribes. The slav arrived in the Balkans (and Istria is not part of thr Balkans), only during the Middle Ages, they never entered in contacts with the Romans before
@@davidetoffoletto9981 histri are related to illyrians...
Italians are related to berber, maltese and arabs...
Italians are Roman as much as Chinese are africans...
Istra was always Croatian. The fact that fasicst took it by force does not mean it was lawfully Italian.
Italic tribes were not italians, nor Romans. Please go back to school or drop your "great Italy ideas".
It is not Pola but PULA
I like to call the entire city help region of pula Slavic, Rome
This channel is underrated by a couple of orders of magnitude. I want to buy shares. Please tell me how.
🤣 Haha Thanks. Well Coffezilla always says pump the stock by clicking the like button 👍 Appreciate your support.
I'm from Romania but i can't even say the city name to people i feel ashamed especially to romanians, how can you tell someone that you were in Dick Croatia? Lol
That is funny 🤣
well-done. Just one little suggestion. Pronounce another as a-noth-ther and not a-nudder.
Romanians like me watching this 💀💀💀💀
Baaaaaa 😂😂😂😂
u dont want to know what does pula means in romanian💀
In Albanian it means "chicken"
What about in Romanian?😂
@@jetonbalidemaj uhhh
Big chicken meat 😂😂
@@andreiboroianu946so thats why americans say "choke the chicken" 😂
@@jetonbalidemajthe forbidden meat if ykyk
People from romania know why you shouldn't go to Pula
sorry, nice place but all is very, very expensive - you can have vacation in Caribbean for better price than in Croatia
Yes the prices went up a lot this year due to introduction of euro.
Everything you show is Italian and austrian.
Don't know what you are trying to say, but this is in Istria where different cultures have always met and enrich each other.
@@rokgoesaround no, in Pola the population was 100% Italian before the anexation of Istria by Jugoslavia Slovenia and Croatia. The slav people never never lived in this places before
@louise and @davide so? Your point is? You want him to say “hey people, we are in Pula, Italy, Er, no, Pula, Austria. I know that now you won’t be able to find it on the map cause you’ll be looking at a map of Italy or Austria, but I need to make some random people who appear to be annoyed for no apparent reason happy.” His commentary mentions many time the history and origins of the area. Gesh
@@davidetoffoletto9981 now they do. you can come visit as tourist. you have lost the war. live with it.
@@filijala7925 you can also come back to Belarus and Ukraina, your birthplace
The video is not correct. Pula could be a nice city but it is not. cars park everywhere, facades are not maintained, there are no cool restaurants or shops and too many communist buildings, Skip Pula and go to Dalamatia or islands. Briuni however are paradise.
You are great,i live here and i did not know many things till now.Thank youu
Thanks. So nice to hear that.
