Tulcea is the Romanian gateway to the Danube Delta. There is the seat of the national park and the port from which ships and hydrofoils depart several times a day, which can be used to get to this area of Romania, which is the most attractive for naturalists and ornithologists.
Today's Tulcea is primarily of an industrial and port character. There are few valuable monuments here and they are rather hidden among modern buildings. However, it has a very nice atmosphere that is a bit like seaside towns and a wide waterfront with many restaurants and bars.
The main attraction of Tulcea is the Center of the Ecotourism Museum "Danube Delta". There are nature and sightseeing exhibitions, and the center also acts as a tourist information point for trips to the Danube Delta. You can book accommodation and places on boats departing in that direction.
The history of the city dates back to ancient times and Roman, Western European, Turkish and native Romanian influences intertwine in it. It is visible in the few luxuries, including the Saon Monastery and the Church of St. George and the Mosque of Azizie and the Coral Synagogue and the ruins of the Roman fortress of Egida.
You can learn about the history of the city and the entire region at the Museum of History and Archeology in Tulce, the Museum of Ethnography and Folk Art and the Tulcea Art Museum.
