About this venue
Stadion Aldo Drosina is one of Pula’s best-known sports venues, combining a traditional stadium feel with upgraded stands and a close-to-the-pitch layout. With a capacity of around 10,000 seats, it’s a natural stage for football nights and larger events where atmosphere matters and sightlines stay strong across most sections.
Inside, the experience is notably compact: the crowd sits near the action, chants carry quickly, and the roofed West Stand adds comfort when the weather turns. On event days, the flow is straightforward—from entry points to the core food-and-drink offer—so you can focus on the match or show.
You’ll find it at Ul. Mate Balote 11, Pula, Croatia. Entrances are clearly signposted along the stands, and there are parking options and nearby stops that make reaching the gates easy.

About the city
Pula, the largest city in Istria, blends a Mediterranean pace with a strong live-events and entertainment scene. From major concerts under the open sky to sports matchdays that lift the whole city, it’s easy to plan an outing that sticks with you. Visitors appreciate the relaxed yet lively feel of the center, along with a wide choice of restaurants, bars, and accommodation—ranging from seaside hotels to practical apartments near the main hotspots.
Getting in and around is straightforward: Pulapromet bus lines link key neighborhoods and arrival points with arenas and stadiums. Whether you fly via Zračna luka Pula or arrive by train at Željeznički kolodvor Pula, you can quickly reach the center and the best-known venues such as Arena Pula, Stadion Aldo Drosina, or Dom sportova Mate Parlov. Thanks to the compact city core, many trips are short, and a mix of public transport, taxis, and walking is often the most convenient option.
If you’re coming for an event, it’s worth adding a “tourist bonus” as well. Stroll through the old town to the Forum, pause by the Slavoluk Sergijevaca, and enjoy the sea views from the waterfront to experience the city beyond the stands. Pula is also great for a quick coastal escape, with promenades and viewpoints, so you can easily build a complete plan: a great event, a great meal, and an easy walk to round off the day.
