Discover Brijuni National Park in Pula. A unique experience to learn about its history and significance.
To access the park, you need to take a boat from the picturesque town of Fažana; the journey takes about 15 minutes and is a charming experience. Boats depart frequently throughout the day, but schedules vary by season, so I recommend checking the updated timetable on its official website before you go.
Ticket prices vary depending on the season (cheaper in winter and more expensive in summer) and include boat transport and a guided tour on the tourist train. It is highly recommended to book your tickets online to avoid queues and secure your spot, as capacity is limited.
The standard guided excursion lasts approximately 4 hours, which is enough to see the main highlights such as the Safari Park and the museums. However, I suggest setting aside a full day to explore on your own, rent a bike, or enjoy a swim in its peaceful coves.
This place is a historical gem known for being the exclusive summer residence of Marshal Tito, where he hosted more than 90 heads of state and movie stars. In addition to its recent political past, the island preserves impressive Roman and Byzantine ruins that tell the story of centuries of settlement on the Adriatic.
Spring (May-June) and early autumn (September) offer the ideal weather for walking and seeing wildlife without the excessive heat of summer. If you visit in high season, try to take the first boat in the morning to enjoy the island’s tranquility before the large groups arrive.
Yes, Brijuni National Park is largely adapted; the tourist train can accommodate visitors with mobility difficulties, and most paved paths are suitable for wheelchairs. However, I advise contacting the park in advance to arrange assistance for boarding and disembarking from the boat.
In addition to enjoying the charming harbor of Fažana while you wait for the boat, you are only a few kilometers from Pula. There, you should not miss the magnificent Pula Arena, one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world, perfect to complement with one of our cultural audio guides.
For an unforgettable experience at your own pace, consider renting an electric golf cart or a bicycle as soon as you arrive on Veliki Brijun. Bring a swimsuit, enough water, and sun protection, as you will spend a lot of time outdoors enjoying the unspoiled nature.
