Transportation
By plane
Pula has its own international airport (http://www.airport-pula.hr/) with daily flights to Zagreb and direct services from many European cities such as Oslo, London, Many flights to Pula are charter rather than scheduled, while other flights are seasonal (summer only). There is a scheduled bus service from the bus station in town to the airport.
Buses are operated by Brioni www.brioni.hr/en-us/home.aspx and connect to most major flights. The cost of a one-way ticket is 25kn.
A taxi ( www.taxipula.com/contact.html) from the bus station to the city should be around 85 kuna in the low season and much higher in the summer.
It is possible to also consider Rijeka Airport (http://www.rijeka-airport.hr/index_eng.asp ) on the island of Krk and Trieste Airport (http://www.aeroporto.fvg.it/en/home/index.htm) in nearby Italy to access Pula as they are close by and offer flights to different destinations.
There is also airport of Venice www.veniceairport.it/en/ and Ljubljana, Slovenia www.lju-airport.si/en/Main.
By land
The large and modern bus station is on the edge of the 'old town' district and is the hub of local, domestic and international bus routes.
Online timetables are listed at (http://www.pulainfo.hr/en/prijevoz/bus/54/) and http://www.brioni.hr/en-us/home.aspx.
There is also a train station near the waterfront with services serving Istria and into Slovenia due to historical circumstance rather than back towards the rest of Croatia (though a connecting coach service operates for services to Rijeka and Zagreb).
