Day Trip to Constanța on the Black Sea Coast from Bucharest

This tour is a perfect blend of history, culture, sightseeing and relaxation.

We’ll depart Bucharest in the morning and drive east along the A2 motorway towards the Black Sea Coast. Once on the road, we’ll be treated to great views of the Wallachia flatlands and, if we’re lucky, catch a glimpse of the local wildlife. The surrounding lakes and forests are home to many species of birds and deer.

After crossing the Danube River via the Cernavodă Bridge, we’ll leave the Wallachia flatlands and enter the great hills of Dobrogea, finally arriving at the port city of Constanța. It’s the oldest (657 BC) and one of the biggest cities in Romania, and is the largest port on the Black Sea Coast.

We’ll visit Ovid Square, named after the famous Roman poet who was exiled to Constanța, as well as the Archaeology Museum and the Roman Mosaic Edifice where we’ll see some rare artefacts: a statue of the Glycon snake, ancient baby bottles and an original, ancient tomb.

Afterwards, we’ll visit the Mamaia beach resort and begin our journey back to Bucharest, arriving in the evening.
