I was just there last week. It truly is beautiful as is the rest of Croatia. We‘re fortunate to live in Austria so we‘re able to visit Croatia frequently.
Fräulein Brandstaetter, ich mag die Österreicher und freue mich, dass wir euch unser Meer zur Verfügung stellen können. :P Würde jetzt auch gerne in einem Wiener Kaffeehaus sitzen, eine Sachertorte nach der anderen verdrücken und mich dabei den Gaumenfreuden der Wiener Melange hingeben - na ja und vielleicht noch a Glaserl Wein hinterher, das Auto stehen lassen und mit dem Fiaker ins Hotel. :-)
@@Cyricist001 Well the Habsburgs were good for us in terms of better than to be under the Ottoman Empire. After World War I, when the Habsburg Empire broke apart, we should have stay at our own. The politicians aren't popular in other democratic contries too. We are still practising and like in other post-communist states Croatia is still suffering from the old habits like corruption etc. I hope, one day we will overcome those adversities! In order to reach this goal we have to learn and to show social cohesion instead of looking for diversities. It's a long way...
@@charlieranger4598 There was no way after WW1 to stay independent, Serbia and Italy both had claims as victors on large parts of our territory, and the leftovers would have been and easily taken over by anyone that tried. Well, we saw cohesion between common people after the earthquakes of 2020/21, but the government managed to bungle its part. Winter is approaching and the politicians haven't even started discussing how to keep theses folks warm, just like they failed to buy them air conditioners on time during the summer heat wave.
Your videos bring me so much joy! Thank you so much for doing this. I'm a third-generation Croatian American and it saddens me how so much culture disappeared in my family so fast. But!!! You showed me that the fear of drafts and ALWAYS wearing house slippers of some kind is from the old country, and I'm so happy to know it :-) Thank you, Sarah & Ivan! Your kids are so adorable, too! I've seen all your videos and each one is a gem. Keep up the amazing work!
i was 2018 in pula, just 100m away from the arena was the airbnb. on evening we were in one cafe next to the arena and accidentally we saw an stjepan hauser concert for free.
Hi Niko, I am Emanuel, from Milan (Italy). At the start of Semptember I am visiting Pula. I cannot rent a car since I do not have a credit card. May I visit the sorroundings (i.e. natural areas, parks etc) as well? I am going to use "ferry boat" or bus.. What's your take on this? Thank you
some of today's finest musical acts have performed in the arena such as sting, foo fighters, alanis morissette, leonard cohen, norah jones, diana krall, etc.
Yeaaa! Pula is a very nice town and people are mostly very lovely. I am from there, I moved to Ireland three months ago. It's so nice to see my home again. It will always be my home😍❤️
Would like to see more films on how croatian festivals (like your May day film) are celebrated, including Christmas. And more videos with your father in law. He is so much fun!
Love the video. I live in Canada, was born and lived in former Yugoslavia. My plan was to visit Pula which had never happened before when I lived there. You are such a beautiful family, thank you for a great video!
Love my hometown, it is always nice to see other people find it interesting and beautiful too :) I only wish I could visit the place more often to see my friends and family since I moved years ago. Did not knew they put elevators from Zerostrasse to Kaštel, that is awesome! Last time I was in there, half of the tunels you show in this video were still closed for the public and were being renovated. Thank you for the great video! BTW, your kids are so nice and cute!

Nice video. I love your format of your videos. Looking forvard to visit Pula next year. I was in Croatia 2 times in on a sailing boat tour. Love Croatia!
5:59 Wonder why kids always climb on cannons...but ok, perhpas it's some kind of playground for the kiddies. :) Wonderful location, I love Pula and of course the arena. This "black rice", I wouldn't recommend it for a first date. 😎 Good job, Sarah, Ivan and family!
What do you guys do for a living? How can you afford all these trips? You must have a lot of free time on your hands as well. I think you mentioned in some video that you run a travel agency but I don't assume the business is booming, given the corona situation.
In Pula is "Arena", In Rome is "Colosseum" and when you eat black risotto, it's cuttlefish not squid, except for black teeth, in the morning it is black and in the toilet too..... ha ha ha 😁

Croatia is nice but if you were born there you see it differently. The main places to visit tourist places are always maintained, and where people visit while coming on holidays, the other part of Croatia is abandoned. People around the world pay little attention to the history of Croatia it isn’t all that beautiful.
@@ivanjelenic5627it was originally called POLA when it belonged to ITALY 🇮🇹 MY parents were born there & it was POLA ! It was part of ITALY Era la città de i mi Genitori 😢my Grandfather owned a house just behind L’Arena de POLA my Father grew up in that house 👌🏼🇮🇹
Nice video for the architectural beauty of the city. You and your family are lovely! But the true Pola died in 1947 when all the Italian people (about 99% in downtown Pula) was force by violence to leave their land for ever. Now it's Pula. Long life to Pula but it has nothing to do with our beloved Pola.
History goes on like this: from the old comes the new, and sometimes the new is better than the old. The old Pola will live on in our hearts as long as some of us are still alive. God bless the new inhabitants of Pula. Take good care of it.

Would be great if we could get the Habsburgs back, our local politicians are going to be the death of us.

pasareta my favorit drink in Pula!
A joj - slatki ste
Planning on going to visit on Monday. Thanks for the video!
Great one. Thanks for making this one from my hometown 💖...👏👏👏
Bas nedavno sam otkrio ovaj kanal i evo Vas u mom gradu 😁
Really helpful little tour. Thanks!
I am from Pula...yes Pula is not only Amphitheather.....great video 👌
Oh the memories thank you Sarah
Your kids are adorable!
I am glad you tasted Pašareta :)
Another great video. 💗 from California, USA
Pula looks amazing ! Oli is a TH-cam star in the making . I noticed the camera vision went down about 3 feet 😂
Dear Madam, thanks to you, I have been eating black risotto every summer at the Alighieri restaurant for the past three years. It's really very tasty.
Nice video. I love your format of your videos. Looking forvard to visit Pula next year. I was in Croatia 2 times in on a sailing boat tour. Love Croatia!
Visit Vinkovci (oldest town in Europe) :)
Najstariji kontinuirano naseljen grad u Europi!
Very nice. Never been to Pula actually. Cheers from Split
Very nice
bravo samo tako i dalje
I was born in Pula .... & my uncle live in Thunder Bay !!! 🇭🇷❤🇨🇦
We are there now and are having a blast. We always enjoy your videos. Zagreb was nice, we did not run into you!
Welcome to my hometown! It's actually Pašareta btw :D
Ma Pašareta je najbolja 😂😁
What!? I was just there the other day! Cool!

I have an apartment in Pula 😄
Passareta is not a coke type drink. It's taste is more similar to Sprite or 7up , but different. It is a soft drink made from herbal extracts.
Pozdrav Sarah very good and interesting video 📷👍❤️
Lijepo 👍👌😊🙌
I'm going to be there on the 16th
Or not... *cries* I am so sick of this pandemic. This is the second year I've had to cancel this trip.
Super 👍
All is true
Im from Pula
1:49 It's not the Colosseum, it's the Amphitheater or simply Arena.
Love your videos! Your children are precious.
Summing up, there's nothing to see in Pula, except the Colosseum. We were about to go there tomorrow, but I don't know now.
To see Pula you must need at least 3 days. But it's a good view in one day. Regards

There are bigger colosseums, but none of them are as well preserved, and there are better preserved colosseums, but none of them are as big.

Black risotto is not from a squid but cuttle fish and its ink..
Go to Hum, the smallest city in the world.

There is only one Colosseum - the one in Rome. All others are arenas, not colloseums.
So sad almost all tourist pick up commercial restaurant like Alighieri which they serve avarege food at best.

In roumanian langueges PLA is a ugly word😂
Croatians should change the name of this city because this is a very embarassing word for some people from the East of Europe ..
Maybe you should change your word. The city has been here for longer than your country was using that word.
