My name is Tihana, a licensed local guide and a lifelong Pula local. I have spent my whole life walking these streets, yet this city still finds new ways to surprise me. I suppose that's a good sign; I haven't run out of stories just yet. That's one of the reasons I love what I do. Let me tell you one thing about Pula. Most travelers arrive expecting a Roman city. What they discover instead is a place with more than 3,000 years of continuous reinvention. Roman, Venetian, Austrian, Italian, Yugoslav, Croatian - each era left its mark, shaping the city into what it is today. That makes Pula so special. Every tour reminds me that familiar places never look quite the same through someone else's eyes. Every town in Istria has its own personality, its own rhythm, and its own stories waiting to be discovered. I'd love to introduce you to the people who shaped these places. We'll meet emperors, artists, remarkable women, ordinary neighbours, impossible love stories, and the little details that make a place feel alive. I prefer to keep my groups small. It gives us time to ask questions, wander a little, share conversations, and experience each place together rather than simply walking through it. I hope that, by the end of our walk, you won't simply remember Pula; you'll leave curious about the rest of Istria, too. Welcome to Pula. Welcome to Istria.

Every great city has a superpower. Pula's is simple: it lets you walk through time. Think of this walk as a time machine - powered by stories rather than technology. Some cities are defined by a single era. Pula never chose one. For over 3,000 years, each generation has left its mark, creating a city shaped by layers rather than a single story. We'll look beyond gladiators and emperors, meeting people who fought for freedom, remarkable women, and overlooked lives that helped shape Pula. As we walk, someone waves from across the street. Two neighbours stop because a quick hello unexpectedly turns into a longer conversation. A waiter already knows what the regular at the next table will order. Between Roman stones, Italian and Austro-Hungarian façades, and echoes of Yugoslavia, everyday life carries on without drawing a line between past and present. By the end of our walk, the city tends to feel strangely familiar. Perhaps you'll find yourself returning to Pula in the most unexpected places.
We'll meet at the Partisan Memorial in Tito's Park, where our journey begins. During our walk, we'll visit: - Tito's Park, where stories of courage, resistance, and resilience connect past and present. - Pula Arena (outside visit with interior views) - Pula's ancient city gates - Hidden Roman Mosaic - Pula Waterfront & Uljanik Shipyard Story - Forum - Panoramic views over Pula Like all ToursByLocals experiences, this tour can be customized to suit your interests.

Titov park, Carrarina ulica, Pula, Croatia
We'll meet at the Partisan Memorial in Tito's Park, the largest and most recognizable monument there. I'll be waiting in the shade nearby, wearing my official licensed tour guide ID badge, so you'll be able to recognize me easily. If your accommodation is located near the park, I can meet you there. I can also pick you up from the cruise terminal.
