Pula Airport

Pula Airport is about 6 km (4 miles) northeast of Pula city center, at Valtursko polje in the municipality of Ližnjan. The drive to the center takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Taxis wait outside the terminal, and an airport shuttle bus runs to Pula's main bus station in about 20 to 30 minutes.

Pula Airport has one passenger terminal for all domestic and international flights, including non-Schengen flights from the UK. There are no jet bridges, so you walk or take a bus between the aircraft and the building. After baggage claim and customs, every arriving passenger comes out into the same arrivals hall.

Yes. An airport shuttle bus links the terminal with Pula's main bus station in the city center, a ride of about 20 to 30 minutes. Departures are tied to the flight schedule, so check the timetable on the airport's website before you fly. In summer the bus can be busy with luggage.

Rovinj is on Istria's west coast, north of Pula, and the drive from the airport takes about 45 minutes. Brioni runs shuttles from the airport to Rovinj with stops along the way, and taxis and pre-booked cars go door to door. Rovinj's old town is car-free, so vehicles stop at its edge.

Poreč is further up Istria's west coast, and the drive from the airport takes about an hour. Brioni shuttles serve Poreč, Novigrad and Umag, though they make several stops. A taxi or pre-booked car is the direct option, especially with luggage or a family.

Medulin is on the southern tip of Istria, about 15 minutes by car from Pula Airport. Brioni shuttles run from the airport to Medulin and the Verudela peninsula in summer, and taxis and pre-booked cars wait outside the terminal. Premantura and the Kamenjak nature park are a short drive further south.

Most flights to Pula are seasonal. easyJet, Jet2.com, Ryanair and TUI fly from the UK; Eurowings, Lufthansa and Air Dolomiti from Germany; Norwegian and SAS from Scandinavia; and Transavia, Edelweiss and Air Serbia add more routes. Croatia Airlines and Trade Air link Pula with Zagreb, Zadar, Split and Osijek.

Croatia has been in the Schengen area since 2023, so flights from other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks, while arrivals from the UK and other non-Schengen countries go through passport control. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation.

Taxis wait at the stand just outside the terminal, near the bus stop. The ride to Pula city center takes about 15 to 20 minutes, and taxis also go to Medulin, Rovinj and Poreč. Agree on the fare or make sure the meter is running before you set off.

Yes. Pula Airport has a business lounge in the terminal for business-class passengers, and it cannot be booked in advance. The terminal is small, so the café, shops and duty-free store are close together, but there are no showers or dedicated rest areas.

No. Pula Airport has no luggage storage or lockers, so you need to keep your bags with you or arrange storage in town. Many apartments and hotels in Pula, Medulin and Rovinj will hold bags if you arrive early or leave late; ask your host before you travel.

Pula Airport has two self-service parking lots: Parking A for long stays, with about 251 spaces, and Parking B for short stays and pickups, in front of the terminal. No booking is needed, and you can pay by card at the information desk in the main passenger building.

Boats to Brijuni National Park leave from Fažana, on the coast northwest of Pula. Brioni shuttles from the airport stop in Fažana, and a taxi or pre-booked car takes you straight to the harbor. Book your boat and park visit ahead in summer, as places on the boats are limited.
