Pula Travel Forum

Hi

in a couple of week sI am taking my family with three kids to Pula to see a freind and then we have arranged to get a car down to Split in a day in order to get on a boat and do some islands. Does anyone know the best and cheapest way of going back from Split (or possibly Zadar) to Pula bearing in mind we have three kids with us aged 10,11 and 15. The car hire is much more expensive going up and I've already booked it coming down! We have two days to get there, leaving either on a Sunday pm or travelling on the Monday. I believe there might be a ferry but does anyone know what kind of cost is involved? Thanks

I am organizing a trip for a group of people from Russia next summer. I want to know if it possible to travel to Venice for the day for Russian citizens if they do not have a Visa to Italy. Can a visa for the day be purchased or does this need to be arranged with local embassies in Russia before our trip. Please advise. Thanks.

Hi everyone!

I'm going to Pula next August, and the question, is: If I don't find accommodation in the historic centre, which area do you recommend me? Obvioulsy, easy to get to the centre either in my car or with public transportation. And, any recommendations regarding hotel/hostel?

Thanks!

Does anyone have information about organised day trip excusions from Pula? A trip to Venice seems possible, but I would also like info about a day in Trieste, cruise around the islands or to one of the national parks. I appreciate that there is only so much that can be done on a day trip and I can see little point in spending hours on a tour bus and only a little time at a destination.
Any mini-reviews from people who have done such things would be very welcome.
Thanks
John

Dear all
Could anyone help me with following question:
akz.hr shows that there is a bus from Pula to Belgrade every day operated by Lasta, but the Lasta website says there is only a busconnection on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Who know what is correct?
Otherwise will the best alternative be via Zagreb?

Thanks & best regards.

We will be on a cruise in May stopping in Pula for the day (May 13). Our ship will anchor and we will come into the port by tender. How far is it to the Bus Station to get a bus to Rovinj? Is it walking distance? How often do Buses go between Pula & Rovinj and what is the approximate fare?

Hello,
I was wondering if someone could advise whether there are bus or train services to Pula from Zagreb on a Sunday? I have heard it is better to take the bus. If travel on a Sunday is possible, how often do the buses travel? Is there a timetable I can view?
Thank you.

best places to drink long and late in Pula?

Hola Todos,

could anyone recommend me the best Latin Bar in Pula or any other towns in Istria? Salsa, merengue, bachata, reggeaton etc...

We're going in the middle of September 2008.

Muchas gracias!!!

Hi

I am travelling to Pula at the beginning of August by myself. Is it easy at this time to find reasonable private accommodation - not hostels, I snore to loud to be in a dorm.

Also, where are the best beaches to relax with decent restaurants nearby.

Not looking for serious night life - I'm a bit past that.

Can anybody recommend accomodations in or around Pula for 2 nights? We are 2 Canadian families travelling together with 4 adults and 6 kids. We want to stay in Pula since we are taking the ferry to Venice from Pula in mid July. We are having trouble finding accomodations that will allow a 2 day stay. Can anybody help?? Thank you!

Hi, I’m flying in to Pula for one week – late May. I’m planning to hire a mountainbike and travel around for my week – a night here a night there – that sort of thing. Most hire centres appear to be Hotels (which I may not be staying at). My question.
Can I hire a mountain bike from (from an independent agent) Palu – for the week?
Or alternatively, does anyone have experience of non residential bike hire from a local resort. Appreciate any advice on this or on my general itinerary. Beach, booze and windsurfing. Cheers

We will be visiting Croatia in a couple of weeks. We would like to drive to Pula for a one day visit. I have two questions. Where is the best place to park the car for the day? And, is it possible to find a local guide for the day?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello,
My partner and I are travelling to Split and arrive there on the 12th of July via a cruise. We disembark the boat there and would then like to travel to Venice.
Can anyone tell me what the best way to travel to Venice would be from Split?
The train is an option but from what I can tell it will be a 16hr overnight trip.
Could I catch a ferry from Split to Venice or do I have to go via Pula?
How would I travel from Split to Pula and how long would this take?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Many Thanks,
Jo

Does anybody know the fastest and cheapest way to get into Pula itself from the airport, more particularly the Punta Verudela Resort? Is there a shuttle bus or some kind of public transport? Also, do the majority of people accept euros or is it worth getting Croatian currency! I go next week (Oct 2008).
Thanks for any help

Hello, heading to Istria soon but have not finalized plans yet. Will have 4-5 nights the last of which will be in Pula, but am undecided as to where is best to stay the rest of the time (Pula, Rovinj, Porec, etc)? Def want to explore a bit but will not have a car there so will need to take buses.

Also, a little confused about buses from Rijeka to Pula or Rovinj - anyone know how late they run? I will arrive at 5PM and not sure if I need to stay in Rijeka area for the 1st night.

Thanks in advance.

Is this possible? If so is it a regular service? Thanks

Hi
I am wondering is it at all possible to travel from Pula airport to monetenegro (any destination)?
If so can anyone give me an idea of the length of time and cost?

Thanks.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone might know about some resources for renting an apartment (studio or one-bedroom) long-term in Pula. I know there are oodles of sites aimed at vacation rentals, but I hope to move there in the coming months and would like to "live like a local" and "rent like a local" :) If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much! Peace!

Hi I want to fly into Pula and then go on to Split, any advice on the best way to get there would be really appreciated!!

Hi
we're planning to go to Croatia and now are choosing places to go..
we'd like to find the cheapest accomodation (smth like hostels for €15-20 per night for 1 person) and have found a place in Pula, the area called Veruda - the southern art of the city
but i'm not sure about the quality of the beaches there - i've only seen yachts and big rocks on fotos.. are there any other cheap places in that city? or maybe the Veruda beach is okay and only looks so rocky? :)

thanks!

Hi everyone,

Hi,

Just booked a cheap flight over to Pula for late in March. Just a few general questions any help appreciated.

· Cheap hotels are they easy to come by this time of year? Someone near the sea would be good
· Bars not after a mad one but any recomadations for a local bar that will be busy and any English or Irish bars?
· How much does food and beer cost over there? I guess its Euros?

Thanks

Peter

My wife and I are arriving at Pula Airport on March 31. We are travelling on to Rovinj where we are staying for five nights. Any information on options and costs of getting from Pula Airport to Rovinj. Thanks a lot

My sister and I are trying to get to Croatia as part of a summer vacation. We are planning to fly into Pula, but we would like to take a train or bus out, preferrably to a destination in Italy, or the closest nearby city that we could find connecting low-cost flights, but we don't know much about land travel (prices, times, difficulty) in Croatia and would like to know if anyone can help. We also would like to know about the quality of the beaches in Istria, and if there is a place not too far from Pula that we should stay to find clear water and bathing-type beaches. I have heard that Medulin might be a good option. Or are there any other cities in Croatia with good beaches that are easy to get to Italy from? Thanks!
