Winter Wonderland in Pula: From November 30th to January 11th

From November 30th to January 11th, Pula transforms into a festive seaside wonderland. The city sparkles with lights, music, and aromas of Istrian delicacies, offering a heartwarming winter escape in the Mediterranean.

The highlight of this year’s celebrations is the ice rink inside the Pula Arena, opening on December 5th at 5 PM. Expanded to an impressive 900 m², with a new skating track, it offers one of Europe’s most unique holiday experiences — skating in the ancient Roman Amphitheatre!

Across six locations, the Advent program features concerts, street food, and traditional holiday treats. Giardini and Portarata come alive with performances by Vanna, Hiljson Mandela, Psihomodo Pop, Silente, and Gustafi, while the Forum offers elegant evenings of jazz and classical music.

Families will love the Park grada Graza, home to Santa’s house, creative workshops, and puppet shows. On weekends, the Pula Market hosts live music and the famous “Velika padela”, a giant seafood risotto shared with visitors.

Celebrate Christmas and New Year by the sea in the most magical way.
