When summer ends, the camping season does not have to end with it. Located on a peaceful peninsula in Pula, Arena Stoja Campsite is open 365 days a year. It invites guests to experience the Adriatic coast in every season.

Surrounded by pine trees, rocky beaches and the open sea, Pula’s only four-star campsite offers an ideal base for winter camping in Croatia. Whether you arrive with a campervan, caravan or tent, or choose the comfort of a heated camping home, Arena Stoja combines a natural coastal setting with everything needed for a relaxing off-season stay.

Camping in Pula may bring to mind sunny beaches, swimming in the Adriatic and evenings beneath the stars. However, an occasional rainy day does not have to interrupt your holiday. It can be the perfect opportunity to discover Pula’s underground passages, historic fortresses, marine life and local flavours.

Located on a green peninsula approximately three kilometres from the historic centre, Arena Stoja Campsite makes it easy to combine camping beside the Adriatic with a day of sightseeing in Pula. Whether you are staying on a camping pitch or in an Arena Stoja Camping Home, these are some of the best things to do in Pula when it rains.

At the end of September, Istria once again becomes a celebration of tourism, local stories and authentic experiences. On the occasion of World Tourism Day, celebrated annually on September 27th, the Istria County is organising a rich programme for the eleventh consecutive year, taking place on September 26th and 27th, 2026, at numerous locations across the peninsula.

This year's theme, “Digital Agenda and Artificial Intelligence for Redesigning Tourism”, highlights the importance of innovation and new technologies in creating higher-quality, more sustainable and accessible tourism experiences. Artificial intelligence and digital tools are increasingly shaping the way travellers plan their journeys, explore destinations and experience cultural heritage. This year's celebration offers an opportunity to reflect on the future of tourism through this perspective.
