What to do in Pula in autumn?

When the summer crowds fade and the Adriatic takes on its calm, deep blue hues, Pula reveals a quieter, more authentic side and autumn is the perfect season to experience this coastal gem.

Cultural heritage without the crowds: explore the legendary Pula Arena, one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world, without the summer bustle. Wander through the Old Town, admire the Temple of Augustus and Arch of the Sergii, and enjoy the city’s relaxed pace as locals reclaim their rhythm.

Nature and outdoor adventures: with mild temperatures and golden light, autumn in Istria is ideal for outdoor exploration. Just a short drive from Pula lies Cape Kamenjak, a nature park offering hiking and cycling trails, crystal-clear coves, and dramatic coastal views. For a tranquil escape, visit Brijuni National Park - a stunning archipelago blending history, wildlife, and lush Mediterranean vegetation.

A season of flavors: autumn marks the start of Istria’s most delicious season. Olive harvests and truffle hunts bring an explosion of local flavors to the table. Indulge in seasonal dishes paired with fine Istrian wines at the city’s top restaurants, or join a wine and olive oil tasting to experience the region’s gourmet heart.

Art, wellness & relaxation: as evenings grow longer, Pula’s cultural scene shines. Enjoy art exhibitions, film screenings, or simply unwind with a spa treatment overlooking the sea. The city’s calm post-summer ambiance makes it a haven for travelers seeking inspiration and peace.
