Autumn in Pula: What to do?
As the warmth of summer gives way to crisp air and golden sunsets, Pula transforms into a peaceful coastal haven. With fewer visitors and a slower rhythm, autumn reveals the city’s true essence - a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty waiting to be explored.
History comes alive: the echoes of ancient Rome linger in every corner of Pula. Take your time wandering through the Pula Arena, a magnificent amphitheater that once hosted gladiators and today welcomes concerts and cultural events. Continue through the Old Town, where cobbled streets lead you to landmarks like the Temple of Augustus and the Arch of the Sergii, each telling a story of centuries past.
Nature’s golden season: mild days and shimmering light make autumn perfect for exploring Istria’s landscapes. South of the city lies Cape Kamenjak, a natural wonder filled with scenic trails, hidden bays, and panoramic views of the Adriatic. Alternatively, set sail to the Brijuni Islands, where ancient ruins, olive groves, and free-roaming wildlife create an unforgettable escape.
Flavors of the season: autumn is harvest time in Istria, when the region’s most treasured ingredients come to life. Join locals as they celebrate the olive oil and truffle season - two cornerstones of Istrian cuisine. Taste these delicacies paired with local Malvasia and Teran wines at Pula’s elegant restaurants, or visit a family-run estate to experience the region’s culinary roots firsthand.
Culture, wellness, and calm: when evening falls, Pula’s cultural scene takes center stage. From intimate art exhibitions to cozy music performances, the city offers plenty to inspire. Those seeking tranquility can indulge in a spa treatment, stroll along Verudela’s seaside promenade, or simply relax with a view of the calm Adriatic horizon.
Autumn in Pula is not about doing more - it’s about slowing down, savoring, and reconnecting with the essence of Istria
