Getting from Krk-Rijeka airport to Pula

Submitted by Lene Smalby | 58,669 views

The Rijeka airport is situated on the Island Krk which is about 30 km from the city centre of Rijeka. From the airport there is an airport bus to the centre of Rijeka, the airport bus leaves shortly after arrival of any scheduled flight.

If you are travelling to Pula via the airport in Rijeka, you still have a bit of travelling from the airport; below we have listed the various travel options from the airport on Island Krk to Pula:

By Car, the shortest and fastest route between airport Krk-Rijeka and Pula is about 135 km and has an estimated travelling time of 1 hour and 40 minutes. Currently only parts of the road is highway, which means you can run into traffic jams during summer months. On parts of the road toll fees apply. There is an alternative route which follows the Istrian coastal line, this route is slightly shorter, but has longer travelling time. In the airport there are several car rental companies, a selection of the best rental offers you can find here.

Transfer, if you want maximum comfort on the trip from Krka airport to Pula, we can recommend a pre-booked transfer, which means you will be picked up by a driver at the airport. Transfers are offered for various numbers of people, starting from one person to mid sized groups; you can check the prices and pre-book a transfer here. Tip: If you are staying at a hotel in Pula, you should check with the hotel if they have any prearrangement for transfers from the Rijeka-Krk airport.

Pula

By Bus, there are NO direct connections from the Krk-Rijeka airport to Pula. What you have to do, if you wish to travel by means of public transport, is first to take the airport bus from the airport to Rijeka centre (schedule you can find here), the airport bus stops at Jelačićev square which is a bit more than 1 km from the main bus station in Rijeka. From the main bus station you have several daily bus departures towards Pula, you can check the timetable here.

By taxi, if none of the above mentioned travel options meet your requirements, then you of course can always take a taxi from the airport; taxis are parked in front of the airport terminal, make sure to agree upon fare price before leaving the airport.

Pula Croatia – Holidays in Pula

Pula is the largest town and the administrative centre of Istria, but today Pula is also a modern tourist destination. In the summer months tourist are offered an extensive program of cultural events, among the most famous events is the Pula Film festival and the Histria Festival. The latter is a music festival which takes place in the 2000 years old Roman Amphitheatre, the Arena. Normally the Histria festival has real world stars like e.g. Elton John on the program, so it is for sure something to consider if you plan to spend your holidays in Pula.

In terms of overnight there is plenty of private accommodation in Pula. As Pula is relatively big in terms of surface, I recommend you to check in which city part you will be staying. I also recommend checking out how often the city buses run from the specific city part. In the suburb called Verudela a large number of Hotels can be found, but of course it is also possible to find hotels in the centre of Pula. The campsite offer inside city border of Pula is limited but in the larger areas of Pula there are plenty of great campsites.

In terms of restaurants Pula has more or less everything to offer. The highlight is a restaurant run by two chefs who used to work for the world famous restaurant El Bulli in Spain. Restaurants can be found in all parts of the town. Of course, the majority of restaurants is concentrated around the centre of the city.
