Day 15 of your road trip in Croatia is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Pula before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
If you're up for some more sightseeing, begin at Lighting Giants. This underrated art installation is a popular place to see in the city.
As your final day in Croatia unfolds, enjoy a last-minute shopping spree in Pula's best shopping area, Max City. Enjoy finding the perfect gift or keepsake to remind you of your wonderful trip to Croatia.
Before you conclude your road trip in Croatia, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Pula.
If you're in the mood to try something new, consider Fast Food Reka, another top spot with a mouthwatering menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Pula. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Croatia!
