Day Trips from Pula

Pula is a good place to settle in for a few days and use as a base for day trips throughout southern Istria. (See Pula on a map of Istria.) To visit several places in a day, it's helpful to rent a car even though buses in Istria are frequent. Keep in mind that Istrian roads are mostly two-lane motorways and thus the speed limit is 90km/hr.
