Very good food, recomending Ivan Pescar restaurant, in the building where the accomodation is. Highly recommend the boat trip Danube Delta. The guide knows his history and always makes a joke or two to lighten up the mood.

The city is well worth to visit. The new design looks amazing. If you are a fishing lover or enjoy nature is a great destination. You can easily find trips to see Danube Delta wildlife. The prices are affordable. Well worth it giving a try.

Favorite places: Danube Delta museum, Ivan Patinkin esplanade, one day trip to Danube Delta There are several restaurants (mainly sea food and fishes) around but we preferred self catering. Yes, it is easy to get around Tulcea by boat or by car. To be avoided: week end and legal holidays.

Tulcea is my hometown, so I know a thing or two about it. It generally has the same feel of many similar towns in Romania, being greatly affected by the Communist and the post-Revolution years. However, it does have some charm of its own. The Danube promenade is one of the nicest in Romania and it's slowly getting even better. The view from the "monument" (there are several in town, but only one is known as "The" monument) are quite impressive, especially at sunrise and sunset. There are several museums that will help you discover the region and - of course - Tulcea is the gateway to the Danube Delta, which is a marvel in itself, although people don't respect it as they should (but that's true about everything in Romania). There are many places where you can go for good food, I'll name a few that I've tried: Santa Catalina, The Pub Grill House, Trident, but there are plenty of other options. Getting around is quite easy, since Tulcea is a fairly small town and taxis are cheap-ish. Local transport is a decent option. While generally safe, being careful never hurt anyone and it's probably better to avoid some of the darker streets at night.

It’s a great stepping off point for the Delta and would recommend staying here for this, as you can then travel different routes in by boat. That said, the town itself doesn’t have much else to offer for tourists, with the exception of a couple of museums and an aquarium (unfortunately closed when we visited). Some decent restaurants but nothing outstanding.

The Danube delta is the draw here. Despite visiting in the freezing depths of winter I found an excellent guide who took me on an amazing boat trip (Safca Delta Tours, I highly recommend). Sadly the Delta Museum was closed during my visit.
