Tourist guide Galati

1. Dan Danube Cliff

The knowledge walk starts on the Danube waterfront. From the Marea Unire Boulevard, which is the main road that follows a part of the Danube's course, there are several stairs, rather damaged and uninviting, that go down to the park right on the river bank, on the Danube Waterfront Alley. This is the best place for a stroll in the city. Several floating restaurants organized on boats anchored on the shore offer dining and party options.

2. Fortified Church of St. Precista

Going in the direction of flow of the Danube, we reach the main access to the cliff, some stairs this time ok, wide. We return to the boulevard at an intersection. With our back to the Danube, looking towards the city, we notice on the left the Fortified Church of St. Precista. It is an orthodox church dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

The address is Traian Street 1.

3. La Elice / Statue of Ion Brătianu

Right in front is the park La Elice and the homonymous monument.In the same green space is erected the statue of Ion Bratianu.

The address is Port Street.

We cross the park from the P's on the Domneasca Alley, a new pedestrian area, at the end of which on the left is the "Girl on Waves" Fountain.

4. Paul Paltănea History Museum

We came out to an important artery oriented to the N, Domneasca street, with a one-way street, on which we pass the "Mihai Eminescu" Park and we point a little further up the "Paul Paltanea" History Museum. It exhibits prehistoric archaeology, ethnography and history. It also has a Lapidarium.

The address is 2 Maior Iancu Fotea Street.

5. Museum of Visual Art

After the Greek Church, we walk 0.5 km guided by Google Maps to the Museum of Visual Art. It presents collections of painting, sculpture, graphics, decorative art.

The address is Dimitrie Bolintineanu Street.

6. Rizer Park

From here we take Traian street to the north, we leave the Central Square on the left and after about 2 km we meet Rizer Park on the right. Personally I think that you can skip this landmark because it is not interesting at all and in addition it is located eccentrically.

7. Răsvan Angheluță Natural Science Museum Complex

We traveled another 4 km through a neighborhood area to reach the closed gate of the Sensorial Garden part of the Botanical Garden. It is part of the "Rasvan Angheluta" Natural Science Museum Complex. It should be open from Wednesday through Sunday between 10 - 18. So I had to bypass the whole complex which also includes a Japanese Garden and an Astronomical Observatory. I re-entered the Boulevard Marea Unire with a nice view of the Danube and the barges at anchor or under way. In this way we found out that there is a second entrance, actually the main one, to the complex.

8. Television Tower

From here our eyes turn to the Television Tower in the park of the same name. The reinforced concrete tower has a height of 110 meters and an elevator that goes up to the 3 floors.

The address is 1 Victor Valcovici Street.

9. Danube Beach

If we cross the park from the tower to the Danube we reach a staircase leading down to the Danube Beach. From the top of the staircase we took another view of the Danube and the slides on the beach.

10. Danube Cliff

I went back partially on the same road to the museum, then I went down to the Danube bank at the ferry crossing point, where the Danube Cliff Alley begins, closing the reconnaissance route from Galati. We photographed the Macin Mountains on the other side of the river and the Danube on the inset.
