The forum or town square always has something going on from markets to open air concerts.
The Pula Riviera as it is known has plenty of beaches to choose from with the best located in Punta Verudela, Banjole, Fazana and Premantura. However, if you want to be surrounded by pristine natural beauty, head to Fažana and take the 20 minute ferry ride to the Brijuni Islands.

The islands have been designated a national park and it is packed with white sany beaches, woods and 200 dinosaur footprints!
