Admire the Danube from these excellent hotels in Galați, Romania, bookable on Culture Trip.

A historic port town in the east of Romania, Galați is known for its proximity to the Danube Delta. The city is one of the few places in the country where it’s possible to take a ferry and cross the river. Whether you’re passing through or using Galați as a hub to explore the region, there’s plenty to see besides the water.
