About this activity

Discover Pula in a different way! See all of Pula's essentials, but instead of focusing on the buildings and monuments, we'll talk about the people that once walked among them.

People make history. Various individuals shaped our town to be what it is today. This is why I created the "Badass People in Pula" walking tour.

I have collected facts, legends, stories and pictures, I even added some music into the mix.

If you don't want to miss out on all the main attractions, but at the same time don't want the classic sightseeing tour - this is ideal for you!
