Galati Vacation Guide

On the banks of the Danube near the confluence of the Prut, Siret, and Danube rivers, Galaţi is only outranked by Constanţa as Romania's biggest port.
At about 325,000 inhabitants, it is Romania's 7th largest city.
Galaţi has a fine 17th century Eastern Orthodox cathedral - St. George (Sfântu Gheorghe), and another particularly striking fortified church (that of St. Mary - Sf. Precista) on the banks of the Danube (legend has it that a tunnel was dug from the church and under the river).
Other features of the city include a sculpture park, a botanical garden, several museums, a television tower opened to the public and offering full view of the city, the newly-restored Galaţi Opera House, and a promenade of several kilometres along the banks of the Danube (huge sculptures are placed on either side of the road).
Being at the convergence of 3 major rivers, 3 countries, and 3 regions of Romania, Galaţi is a bit of a transportation hub.
