In which quarter house in Pula?

A stay in the Balkans and the peninsula of Pula, Croatia for the holidays? Find out where to stay in Pula!

The town of the north-west of Istria in Croatia, Pula – pronounce “pola” – is a bilingual Italian/Croat commune of 58,594 inhabitants, whose history dates back to nearly 3,000 years. Many Roman vestiges are witness to two millennia of History, where the ancient blends with modern architecture. Visits therefore do not lack the use of time! As everywhere in Croatia – the French Riviera of the European Union -, the tourist affluence is important in the summer: accommodation can therefore be expensive.

Staying in Pula can also be noisy because the city centre is small, but it is a nocturnal party. It’s better to get away from bars and discotheques if you’re looking for calm. See, for example, the beach to find a hotel where to sleep in Pula and around. Here is our selection of areas to sleep in Pula.

The historic centre

The ancient quarter of the city is today the city center where visitors are flocked by millions and the ancient one blends with the contemporary. There you will find, in addition to the hordes of tourists practicing the art of selfie and defrauding the smartphone at every corner of the street, the emblematic vestiges of Pula: the Forum – the main square of the Roman times -, the amphitheatre, the Roman theatre, the Temple of Augustus, the Golden Gate, the Sergi bow, the Hercules gate, the Venetian fortress – Kastel – which overlooks the old city, but also all the infrastructure of our modern era where to go out: discotheques, bars, cinemas. Please note if you come to sleep in Pula in July and August: prices may be multiplied by two!

The surroundings of Pula

From May to September, the beaches of Pula are frequented by thousands of young people from all over Europe to celebrate: drunken parties, girls in a swimsuit, incessant vacarma and crowded beaches characterize the place, which turns into an open-air festival. An atmosphere that could make you flee if you are looking for calm and tranquility. If you want to radiate in the Pula peninsula, you can sleep in Pula at night and go on a day trip: Kamenjak National Park near Premantura, Brijuni Islands National Park, Rovinj Village – a successful romantic getaway – Bale National Park and other picturesque communes.

To stay in Pula and around, a wide range of accommodation is available, from the campsite to the living room – self-camp – at the youth hostel, from the hotel to the apartment rented to the private (via Airbnb ). A good compromise can therefore be to rent an apartment where to stay near the beaches of Pula and to make the walk (10-15 minutes walk) to the city centre of Pula.
