Making the Most of One Day in Pula, Croatia, Pula, Croatia
Beaches may be in the forefront of travellers鈥� minds when they think of聽Croatia, but the country鈥檚 historical side is equally as impressive. Nowhere is that more clear than in the ancient city of聽Pula聽on the Istrian peninsula. A relatively popular destination for those visiting Croatia, Pula is another Croatian city with a聽well-preserved Roman history聽that you can still see today.
