Introducing Tulcea
Tulcea (pronounced tool-cha) is usually passed through quickly en route to the delta, so most tourists miss its unassuming appeal. Despite reminders that Tulcea is mainly industrial (eg the billowing smoke from the brick factory outside town), it has a lively energy and an allure of its own, with hopping nightclubs and a sizeable Turkish population that lends a multiethnic flavour. For quiet strolling, there is a broad riverfront promenade where lovers hold hands and watch the sunset.

Tulcea was settled by Dacians and Romans from the 7th to 1st centuries BC, when it was called Aegyssus.
