BEFORE YOU GO
A well-planned trip.
How to get around
Constanța’s city center is easy to explore on foot, especially between the waterfront, Ovidiu Square, and the historic district. For longer distances, you can use the city buses, checking updated routes and timetables. Taxis and ride-hailing services are convenient, especially in the evening or for getting to the beaches. In summer, check connections to Mamaia, which may be more frequent but also busier.
When to go
From May to June and in September, the weather is generally pleasant and the beaches are less crowded than in peak season. July and August are the best months for seaside life, but they also bring more heat, more visitors, and higher prices. Spring and autumn are good seasons to explore the city and its historic sites in milder temperatures.
Where to eat
To sample the local cuisine, look for restaurants serving Black Sea fish and seafood, as well as Romanian dishes such as ciorbă and mici. In the center and around the port, you’ll find a variety of options, from casual eateries to more refined spots. In peak season, it’s a good idea to book in the evening and check opening hours, which may vary outside the summer months.
Quick tips
- 01The currency is the Romanian leu (RON): pay in lei and check the exchange rate before changing money.
- 02In summer, bring sunscreen, a hat, and water: the sun on the coast can be intense.
- 03Check museum and archaeological site opening hours in advance, as they may change with the season.
- 04If you also want to visit the beaches of Mamaia, factor in traffic and plan your trips during less crowded times.
