Why visit Pula?
Pula is the largest city in Istria and one of the rare places in Europe where Roman architecture has been preserved in exceptionally good condition. The Pula Arena, an amphitheatre built in the 1st century, is one of the six largest Roman amphitheatres in the world with a capacity of around 23,000 spectators. Besides the arena, Pula has the Temple of Augustus, the Arch of the Sergii, and the remains of the Roman forum that are still in everyday use as a square in the city centre.
Horizonti Travel organises private transfers to Pula from Zagreb, Velika Gorica, and surrounding areas. The motorway drive takes about 3 hours, making Pula an accessible day-trip destination. Your driver picks you up at an agreed location and takes you directly to Pula without stops.
