The best area to stay in Tulcea is generally around the city centre and along the Danube promenade.
This central area is the main focus for visitors, offering easy access to the waterfront and many of the city's key attractions. The promenade itself is a pleasant place for a stroll, with views of the Danube River, and you'll find a concentration of shops, restaurants, and cafes on the streets leading off it, such as Strada Isaccea. The area around Independence Square (Piața Independenței) is also considered part of this central hub.
Couples looking for a convenient and pleasant base will find this area ideal. You're within walking distance of the Danube Delta Eco-Tourism Museum Centre, which offers a great introduction to the region's wildlife, and the Tulcea Art Museum. The evening strolls along the promenade are particularly enjoyable, and there are plenty of dining options for a relaxed meal.
Solo travellers will also appreciate the ease of navigating this central part of Tulcea. Being close to the main ferry terminals for Danube Delta excursions means less travel time to start your adventures.
