Your Ticket to the "New Tuscany" of the Mediterranean
The flight from Oslo to Pula transports you from the deep fjords of Norway to the sun-drenched, olive-grove-covered hills and azure coastline of the Istrian Peninsula. Pula is not just a beach destination; it is a city where history stands tall in the form of one of the world's best-preserved Roman amphitheaters. At Ready2Go, we are your dedicated local partner for this summer escape. We specialize in connecting Oslo with the hidden gems of Croatia, ensuring your journey to Istria is as seamless and secure as it is memorable.
Why Choose Ready2Go for Your Istrian Holiday?
Croatia is a favorite summer destination for Norwegians, but Pula offers a more relaxed, authentic vibe compared to the busy south. Booking this route often involves seasonal schedules that can be confusing on international sites. Ready2Go offers a distinct advantage: we are a Norwegian travel agency that puts your peace of mind first.

- Smart Routing: Flights to Pula are often seasonal. Our platform filters for the best options, prioritizing direct flights during the summer peak to get you to the beach in under three hours, or efficient connections via major hubs during the shoulder season.

We strip away the hidden fees and confusing add-ons often associated with low-cost carriers, offering a straightforward booking experience that lets you budget for your truffle pasta and local wine without stress.
The Journey: Oslo (OSL) to Pula (PUY)
Connecting the capital of Norway to the tip of the Istrian peninsula is a journey into warmth.
- Departure from Gardermoen: Your trip begins at Oslo Airport (OSL). As a world-class facility, OSL ensures a smooth start. We recommend utilizing the Flytoget airport express for a punctual arrival.
- Flight Duration: A direct flight (typically available from June to August) takes approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes. It is a quick and comfortable journey that crosses Central Europe and the Alps before descending over the sparkling Adriatic Sea.
- Arrival in Pula: You will land at Pula Airport (PUY). It is a small, stress-free airport located just 6 kilometers from the city center. The small size means you can often be through baggage claim and on your way to your accommodation in record time.
Destination: Pula and the Istrian Peninsula
Pula offers a unique blend of Croatian charm and Italian heritage, evident in its architecture, food, and lifestyle.
The Roman Arena
The Pula Arena is the city's crown jewel. It is the only remaining Roman amphitheater to have four side towers entirely preserved. Unlike the Colosseum in Rome, you can walk through the underground passages here without the massive crowds. In summer, it hosts concerts and film festivals under the stars.
Gateway to Brijuni
Just north of Pula lies the Brijuni National Park, an archipelago of 14 islands that was once the summer residence of Tito. A short boat ride takes you to this safari park and historical site, a perfect day trip for families.
A Culinary Paradise
Istria is famous for its gastronomy. The region is world-renowned for its truffles, high-quality olive oil, and Malvasia wine. The cuisine here is a rustic blend of seafood and pasta, reflecting the strong historical connection to Venice.
Practical Travel Tips for Norwegians
- Transport: While there are shuttle buses to the city, the best way to explore Istria is by car. Renting a vehicle allows you to visit the colorful coastal town of Rovinj or the hilltop villages of Motovun and Grožnjan.
- Currency: Croatia uses the Euro (EUR). Card payments are widely accepted, but cash is recommended for small konobas (taverns) and markets.
- Beaches: Pula’s coast is rocky or pebbly, which ensures the water remains incredibly clear. We highly recommend packing water shoes ("badesko") for comfort when swimming.
- Climate: Summer days are hot and dry, often reaching 30°C. However, the evenings can bring a pleasant breeze. The sea temperature is perfect for swimming from June through September.
