Holiday Home Pula

Family Vacation in Pula

For a family vacation that is rich in Roman history and outdoor beauty in equal measure, a holiday in Pula, Croatia is a truly life-changing experience for visitors.

Set amid Roman and Medieval architectural history along beautiful coastal waters, Pula has long been a holiday location for travelers in the know, who return to the region's lovely surroundings and strolls down ancient streets with coffee in hand time and again. 

Once described by Dante Alighieri, author of The Divine Comedy, as the city "along the Quarnero... that marks the end of Italy and bathes its boundaries," the influence of ancient Italian culture still defines the region's appearance, giving it a connection to the ancient world that is unlike anywhere else. Like a scaled-down version of Rome without the crowds, traffic, or hassle, Pula is rightly seen by many travelers as a true jewel on the Adriatic Sea. 

Whether you're interested in visiting the city's many first-rate museums, taking a stroll by the sea, enjoying a family picnic, or just kicking back in the shade with a favorite book, Pula is a great place to relax and soak in the Croatian hospitality. A holiday home in Pula is a truly great opportunity to make memories for a lifetime. 

For families who love learning about history, Pula's famous Roman Arena, set beside a charming, yacht-filled harbor, is a definite must-see. First constructed during the reign of Augustus over 2000 years ago, the amphitheater is remarkable for its level of preservation, including its complete circuit of walls.

Still used today for performances, the amphitheater has long been home to concerts by artists such as Luciano Pavarotti, Elton John, Andrea Bocelli, and many others. Marveling at its ancient walls, families will love the experience of encountering Roman history first- and in this remarkable place. 

Family members of all ages will also love a trip to the Pula Museum of Archaeology, housed in the city's Roman Temple of Augustus in the city's old Forum. Here visitors can learn about the region's rich history and view millennia-old artifacts. A stroll around the city, with its famous Roman arches and Medieval churches, will also leave family members in awe at the area's living history. 

To experience the area's natural beauty, try taking the family on a day trip to the islands of the Brijuni National Park, where the sea, nature, and history all intersect. Here visitors can take a guided tour or set their own schedule to see preserved dinosaur footprints beside ancient Roman ruins along stunning hiking paths. For fans of history, learning, and culture, it doesn't get much better than this. 

For these reasons, a holiday in Pula is truly a vacation to remember. A place to return to again and again for its historical sites, natural seaside beauty, and charming shops, Pula is a true Adriatic gem with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Above all else, enjoy the journey and the unique warmth of Croatian hospitality!
