What to do and see in Constanta

Constanta is a city steeped in history, boasting a beautiful coastline along the Black Sea and offering a diverse array of attractions and experiences for both local and international visitors. With a car hire, you can uncover the city's treasures and immerse yourself in its fascinating past entirely at your own speed.

Begin your journey at the Archaeology Park, home to the ancient ruins of the city's Roman heritage, including the impressive Roman Mosaic. Wander through the park and discover remnants of Roman architecture, such as the towering statue of Roman Emperor Ovid, who was exiled to Constanta in 8 AD.

For something a bit more current, you could explore the Constanta Casino, a stunning example of Art Nouveau architecture that has graced the city's coastline for over a century. Although currently closed for restoration, the building's elegant façade and seafront location make it a must-see landmark and provide a unique and unforgettable backdrop in your camera roll.

For a taste of Romanian maritime history, visit the Naval History Museum. With exhibits showcasing model ships, maritime artefacts, and historical documents, the museum offers a fascinating insight into the region's naval past and its importance to the development of Constanta.

If you’re more interested in the beauty of nature, you’ll want to check out Mamaia, a popular seaside resort just a short drive from Constanta city centre. With its golden sands, crystal-clear waters, and lively atmosphere, Mamaia is the perfect spot for sunbathing, swimming, or enjoying a variety of water sports.

Families with children should not miss Aqua Magic Park, a thrilling water park filled with exhilarating slides, wave pools, and a lazy river. Spend the day enjoying the park's attractions, and create lasting memories with your loved ones.

Constanta is also home to an array of cultural events and festivals, such as the Days of the Sea festival, which celebrates the city's maritime heritage with concerts, exhibitions, and traditional performances. Be sure to check the local event calendar to make the most of your visit.

When you start to feel hunger pangs from your exploring, the city's culinary scene offers a blend of traditional Romanian fare and international cuisine. Sample local dishes such as "mici" (grilled minced meat rolls) or "sarmale" (stuffed cabbage rolls), and be sure to try some fresh seafood caught right from the Black Sea.

Driving in Constanta

As with any new country, you should familiarise yourself with local traffic signs and regulations and exercise caution when navigating the city's streets, particularly in the city centre, where roads can be narrow and winding. It's a good idea to plan your route in advance, possibly making use of a GPS navigation system or smartphone app to help you find your way around Constanta and its surroundings. Parking is generally straightforward, with plenty of public car parks available throughout the city. Be sure to keep an eye out for signs informing you about parking fees or time restrictions to avoid fines. In busy areas or during peak tourist season, be prepared to search for a parking spot, as spaces may fill up quickly.

When driving in Romania, speed limits may vary depending on the type of road. In urban areas, the typical speed limit is 50 km/h, while outside urban areas, it's generally 90 km/h. On expressways, the speed limit is usually 100 km/h, and on motorways, it's 130 km/h. Always observe posted speed limit signs and adjust your speed accordingly. Petrol stations in Constanta and the surrounding region are fairly common. Still, it's a good idea to fill up your tank whenever you come across a petrol station in the city if you plan on venturing into more rural areas where petrol stations are less frequent.

When driving in Constanta, be aware of pedestrians, cyclists, and horse-drawn carts that may share the road, as these are all common modes of transport in Romania. Exercise caution, give them plenty of space, and always check for them before turning or opening your car door. It's also essential to be mindful of the weather when driving in Constanta. During winter months, snowy or icy conditions may make driving more challenging, so ensure your vehicle is equipped with winter tyres and exercise caution when navigating slippery roads. Another thing to note is that Romanian law requires all drivers to use their headlights at all times, even during daylight hours.

Constanta is a captivating city with more than enough to keep you entertained. With a car or van hire in Constanta, you'll have the freedom to explore this destination at your own pace, creating a memorable trip for you and your travel companions.
