Cycling day trip from Vrsar to Pula

Kick off your cycling adventure in Vrsar, a charming town on the Istrian coast known for its stunning archipelago and laid-back vibe. From here, you'll embark on a ride covering roughly 66 kilometers, making your way towards the vibrant city of Pula.

The journey will take you through varied terrain, with a good chunk of the route being gravel (34%) and asphalt (31%), so it’s a good idea to have a bike that can handle mixed surfaces. There’s a fair bit of ascent and descent, with the maximum elevation hitting just under 180 meters, so expect some pleasant ups and downs that will definitely give your legs a nice workout.

As you cycle, the majority of your path will be along tracks (42%) and quiet roads (40%), allowing you to soak in the scenic landscapes of Istria without too much hustle and bustle. A small portion involves busy roads (10%), so stay alert and enjoy the ride.

Pula awaits at the end of your journey, a city that boasts the magnificent Roman Amphitheatre and a Mediterranean charm that’s worth basking in after your adventurous ride. Enjoy exploring its historic sites and perhaps unwind with a meal by the sea. Happy cycling!
