The Pula City Guides answer what every visitor here ends up asking: where to eat fuži and fish sold by the kilo without paying Arena-terrace prices, what Roman Pula holds beyond the amphitheatre, which coves have an easy way in for small children, how to reach Brijuni without boarding a boat that only circles the islands, and where locals drink once it gets dark. Each guide is a short, honest list that says why a place earns its spot, what to order or look at and one tip worth knowing, and it opens in your browser the moment you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Kantina
Flanatička 16, opposite the market
A vaulted dining room across from the market hall that has been feeding Pula for years. Go for the grilled squid or the pasta with truffle and hazelnut, and do not be surprised if a plate of truffle cheese turns up unasked. From the food guide.
Aquarium | Pula
Fort Verudela, 15 min by city bus
Octopus, small sharks and jellyfish fill the rooms of an old fortress, and in the rescue centre children can watch injured sea turtles being cared for until they go back to sea. Plan on two or three hours. From the family guide.
Karlo Rojc
Ulica Ljudevita Gaja 3
An old Austro-Hungarian barracks now run by dozens of local groups, its corridors covered in graffiti. This is where Pula comes for alternative gigs, from punk to bands on tour from abroad, with tickets usually €10 to €20. From the nightlife guide.
Plan your days in Pula
Day one: walk from the Arch of the Sergii across the Forum to the cathedral, cut under the castle hill through Zerostrasse and climb onto the ramparts of the fort, then eat by the market and spend the evening on a Forum terrace or at Rojc. Day two: ride the city bus to Verudela for the aquarium and a swim at Gortan Cove, or take the boat from Fažana to Brijuni, and end the day with fish in Veruda or Banjole. For a rainy or slow day, pair the olive oil museum and its tasting with the contemporary art museum and a long konoba lunch, then a play or concert at the Istrian National Theatre.
