Things to do The Essence of Pula Free Tour

Dear traveler, welcome to Pula! I’m Dalen – a local history teacher and licensed guide, born and raised in Pula. With a degree in history and a deep passion for my hometown, I invite you to join me on a free walking tour filled with stories, heritage, and local charm. Our journey starts in the Park Nimfeja. After visiting the park, we will head in front of the impressive Pula Arena, a symbol of the city’s Roman past. We continue through Titov Park to the Twin Gates and Hercules Gate, remains of the ancient city walls. The majestic Arch of the Sergii leads us into lively Sergii Street, where history meets daily life. We finish at the historic Forum Square, once the heart of Roman Pula. I love sharing Pula’s layers of history, from Roman foundations to Austro-Hungarian traces and beyond. Whether you're a solo traveler or with friends and family, I tailor each experience to be engaging, informative, and fun. Let’s walk through time together and uncover the stories that make Pula unique. See you on the tour!
