Pula is popular with tourists, with events planned throughout the year and a large number of hotel rooms. The Verudela peninsula (2km from Pula) offers good beaches, restaurants and nightlife. There are a number of diving clubs in the area.

Events: Croatian Film festival in July, Pop Music Festival in July, both held in the Arena (colosseum).
