We didn’t get to go in as they closed early to set up for a concert, however we did still wonder around the outside & there is plenty to view from outside. It is quite stunning. Later that evening Pula became flooded by concert goers, we didn’t mind & after a separate tour came back to listen to some of the concert but this may have a negative impact on your plans if you weren’t expecting the volume of traffic & people. We left at 10pm & the main event (Jason Derulo) hadn’t started with people still streaming into the centre.

One of the six largest amphitheatres in the Roman Empire and one of the most preserved. Admission 10 euros. For history buffs. Someone may have enough inspection outside, everything is clearly visible.) But wandering through the ruins and sitting on the pews is important. Advice. In the summer, the amphitheater hosts a gladiator show every 5 days, with reenactments of bouts, a fire show and another typical Roman program. Admission 20 euros. Tickets can be bought locally the same evening. After the performance, there is enough time to inspect the amphitheatre, so it can be combined.

The Pula Amphitheater is a historically significant and visually stunning landmark, offering a glimpse into the ancient Roman era with its well-preserved structure. While the amphitheater itself is impressive, the experience is somewhat diminished by the high cost of admission. The price for entry seems disproportionate, which might deter some visitors from exploring this iconic piece of architectural history. Despite the steep entry fee, the amphitheater remains a noteworthy site, but better pricing could enhance its accessibility and overall visitor satisfaction. A three-star rating reflects the balance between its historical value and the cost-related drawbacks.

This 1st century building is in quite amazing shape since it is still in use for concerts and other events. Much of the interior (seats) is missing since the stones were later used as building material for o number of other buildings nearby. The outside walls are in great shape though and you can also visit the tunnels underneath the arena. At night, the walls of the amphitheater are nicely illuminated.

Very nice amphitheatre outside Italy and interesting to visit. Very nice were the (restored) catacombs under the arena floor where you got an insight what it might have been like for the gladiators, animals, ... who would give their lives in the arena. A downside (well?) was the modern stage set up in the amphitheater. On the other hand, that stage allows a historical monument to be used to entertain people to this day...

Superb arenas that have preserved almost all of the exterior walls throughout their height. 10€ to visit the interior. We were satisfied with an outside tour (because the interior was occupied by show equipment) and through some small doors we got a glimpse of the interior.

Were not in there. The 10 euros put us off a bit, when then the dog is not allowed in, we were out anyway. Looks nice and there's a lot of life going on around it. There are also events in there. I believe from music to cinema. So actually quite nice if you absolutely have to go in, I don't know. By the way, if someone writes in another review that the ball of ice cream costs 3 euros all around.... no... 2 Euro

Overall it’s a great place to visit if you’re interested in ancient Roman culture. It’s more intact than the coliseum in Rome, and pets are allowed in which was a nice surprise since we visited with our two dogs. There’s a small exhibition in the basement that’s worth taking a look at.

Do not miss this if in the area and you have any interest at all in ancient history. A wonderfully preserved example of a Roman amphitheatre which is claimed to be the fourth largest remaining. Work is ongoing but all areas are accessible. Do not miss it.

Easy to park for an hour for €4 right next to the amphitheatre. An hour was ample to walk all the way round outside which provided magnificent views even of the inside . We didn’t pay admission as a huge stage was still up from a concert . Then a short walk to the water where the boat trips leave .
