Right on the tip of the Istrian peninsula in the north of Croatia, Pula is the largest city in the
area. A Roman settlement from 2
nd
century BC, Pula is known for its well preserved ancient
Roman buildings and monuments. In the city's historic quarter, which is small enough to
walk around on foot, you'll find narrow streets still paved with ancient Roman stones and
the Forum, a square built on a previous Roman site. Aside from its historical attractions,
Pula also has modern amenities like shopping centres, cafes and restaurants. It's mild cli-
mate, resort style beaches and idyllic setting overlooking the Adriatic make it one of the
most visited spots in Croatia for outdoor pursuits.
