Bus Hire in Galati, Romania

A single steel plant built here in the 1960s once employed close to 30,000 people and made Galati the largest steelmaking centre in Romania, output that shaped the city's skyline of blast furnaces almost as much as the Danube shaped its economy for the two centuries before. The river remains central: Galati sits at the point where the Danube turns north before its final run to the Black Sea, and the port here handles more freight than any other on the Romanian stretch of the river.

Away from the industrial waterfront, the city keeps a long promenade along the Danube that fills with walkers each evening, and a Botanical Garden, opened in 1974 on a former royal estate, holds close to 3,000 plant species across roughly 85 hectares, one of the largest such collections in south-eastern Europe. Coach groups touring the Danube Delta or the wider Moldavia region often use Galati as an overnight stop given its position on the main river route.

Danube Port and Steel Industry

Galati handles the largest volume of river freight anywhere on Romania's stretch of the Danube, a role built up over two centuries, and the Sidex steelworks, constructed in the 1960s and now operating under different ownership, at its peak employed close to 30,000 people, making the city one of Romania's principal industrial centres.

Botanical Garden

Opened in 1974 on a former royal hunting estate, Galati's Botanical Garden covers roughly 85 hectares and holds close to 3,000 plant species in themed sections including a rose garden and a dedicated Japanese garden, ranking among the largest botanical collections in south-eastern Europe.

Gateway to the Danube Delta

Galati's position at the point where the Danube bends north toward its delta and the Black Sea makes it a common overnight base for coach groups touring the wider delta region, roughly 80 kilometres further downstream, combining a river-city stop with an onward wetland excursion.
