Will a branch of the Guggenheim Museum be opened in Croatia?
(News from Croatia)
It is possible that in the next few years it will become popular to go on vacation in Croatia not only thanks to the clear sea and picturesque nature. Croatia is preparing to become the next country, where will be opened a branch of the famous Guggenheim Museum. The plans of American investors include opening of a branch of the famous Guggenheim Museum in Istria, more precisely, in the town of Pula.
To date, the Guggenheim Museum in New York is one of the most famous museums of modern art in the world. It has several subsidiaries: in Venice, Bilbao and Berlin. Travel Center of Istria in Pula is considered as one of the possible places of opening of another branch of the museum. In the near future may appear three more branches - in Abu Dhabi, Vilnius and Guadalajara.
During a brief tour of Istria, which ended on June 13, 2010, representatives of the American G2 Investment Group determined the promising place to build a museum in Pula. As noted by the administration of Istria, a final proposal from Americans authorities expect in September. As planned, U.S. investors will finance the construction of the new museum. Most likely the Guggenheim Museum branch in Croatia is to be built in Pula on port premises. The museum will take the place of the former army barracks, which are now abandoned.
The town and resort of Pula is known as one of the priority places for recreation in Croatia. It is the largest city in Istria and one of the largest ports in Croatia. The city is famous for its numerous attractions, which it managed to preserve since the days of domination of the Roman Empire.
It should be noted that Pula is not the only candidate who pretends to the construction of a branch of Guggenheim museum. At various times, as possible sites were considered Rio de Janeiro and Shanghai. Nevertheless, Pula authorities are confident that this time they will be able to get the branch of the museum, which represents one of the richest collections of contemporary art in the world.

The Bulgarian government decided to simplify for many tourists the procedure of entering the country. From now on all people with a valid Schengen visa can go on holiday to Bulgaria without national visa. In such way Bulgaria is preparing its structures for the upcoming country’s entry into the visa-free regime, which today functions between the EU countries.
The decision to introduce new visa rules was taken by the Bulgarian cabinet of ministers on Wednesday January 26, 2011. According to the Bulgarian cabinet, the new visa policy will spur the tourist interest and will make Bulgaria more attractive to foreign investors.
Schengen visa owners will be able to get permission to enter Bulgaria and stay on its territory for a period of up to 3 months during the six months from the date of first entry.
