Pula Arena

We visited the Pula Arena in January, which turned out to be a great decision as there were only a few tourists inside. The entire structure is well-preserved and truly impressive. I enjoyed it even more than the Colosseum in Rome!

Paula Arena is a fantastic place, especially during the winter when it hosts a beautiful Christmas market and an ice skating rink. The atmosphere is magical, and the best part is that the entry was free! The food stalls offered delicious options, and there was just the right amount of people, making it a relaxed experience. Definitely a 5/5 spot that I highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy winter outing. I’ll be back next year for sure!

A beautiful Roman amphitheater, one of the large ones in the world, reasonably well preserved, with plenty of entertainment and views. There’s a skating rink in the middle and properly fun disco music and a bunch of street food. Quite nice and an easy into to history.

Wow. Impressive arena. I recommend that you visit. Thicket is 10€ and 5€ for children. There was snow in one part of the arena.

The Pula Arena is one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world. It could originally seat around 23,000 spectators and measures 132 meters long by 105 meters wide. It is almost completely intact, including its outer walls and the four towers on each corner (a rare feature among ancient amphitheaters). Today, the arena is open to the public and offers a range of experiences. During the summer months, it becomes a venue for cultural events, such as concerts, film screenings, and theater performances. One unique aspect of the Pula Arena is its underground passages, which were once used by gladiators and wild animals. Today, these tunnels house a small museum with exhibits on olive oil and wine production, which were essential industries during Roman times. In my opinion it is an essential destination for history enthusiasts and anyone visiting Croatia.

This is really nice amfitheater arena. More compleet than the one in Rome! It looked really nice from all side. Nice inside and not to expensive. It did even look more amazing at night. This was a place to go for me!

Awesome arena! Sunset is amazing but it’s also beautiful in the morning. We came for a concert which was a great time. If you have a concert here make sure to bring a cushion for your bum, seating might be stone :).

What a cool place to visit! This place is the most still intact arena where men fought each other and lions to the death. We were lucky enough to not only get to do the walking tour through the arena and the cellars below where they made olive oil; But we also got to see Avril Lavigne perform for her 2024 tour here. Breathtaking. If you can catch a concert in Croatia, this is the place to do it, hands down. While we stayed in Pula I gravitated to the arena just about every night.
