Admire the underwater world of the Adriatic in a historic military complex. Aquarium Pula offers unique exhibits of marine animals and interactive educational programs.
Aquarium Pula is located in the Verudela Fortress, a former Austro-Hungarian military structure from the 19th century. This unique combination of history and marine life transports you to a fascinating world beneath the surface. Walk along the ramparts, which offer beautiful views of the sea, and discover the secrets of the Adriatic depths.
The exhibition is divided into thematic zones: North Adriatic, Mediterranean, Tropical Seas, and freshwater areas. You will see sharks, rays, moray eels, octopuses, and colorful coral fish. A major attraction is the sea turtle rescue center, where you can learn about the protection of these endangered creatures. For children, interactive elements and a touch pool are available.
The aquarium is an ideal destination for families and individuals alike. We recommend purchasing tickets online to avoid queues. Parking is free nearby, or you can take bus number 2 from the center of Pula. The visit takes about 1–1.5 hours, but you can combine it with a walk on the Verudela peninsula and swimming at the local beach.
