Galati tourist guide

1. The Danube embankment

Plimbare de cunoastere incepe pe Faleza Dunarii. From Marea Unire Boulevard, which is the road artery that follows a part of the Danube, there are several stairs, rather damaged and uninviting, that go down to the park located right on the river bank, on the Danube Cliff Alley. Este locul de promenada cel mai indicat din oras. Mai multe restaurante plutitoare organizate pe vapoare ancorate la tarm ofera optiuni de a servi masa sau de a organiza de petreceri.

2. The Fortified Church of Saint Precista

Mergand in sensul de curgere al Dunarii ajungem in dreptul accesului principal la faleza, niste scari de data aceasta ok, late. Revenim astfel in bulevard in dreptul unei intersectii. With your back to the Danube, looking towards the city, we notice on the left the Fortified Church of St. Precista. Este o biserica ortodoxa care poarta hramul Adormirea Maicii Domnului.

The address is 1 Traian Street.

3. La Elice / Statue of Ion Bratianu

In front of it is the park La Elice and the homonymous monument.In the same green space there is the statue of Ion Bratianu.

The address is Port Street.

We cross the park from P-uri on Aleea Domneasca, a new pedestrian zone, at the end of which on the left is the “Girl on the Waves” Fountain.

4. “Paul Păltănea” History Museum

We came out to a major artery oriented to the N, Domneasca Street, with one-way street, on which we pass the “Mihai Eminescu” Park and point a little above the existence of the “Paul Paltanea” History Museum. Prezinta exponate de arheologie preistorica, etnografie si istorie. Are si un Lapidarium.

The address is 2 Maior Iancu Fotea Street.

5. Museum of Visual Art

Pe langa Biserica Greaca, mergem 0,5 km condusi de Google Maps pana in dreptul Muzeului de Arta Vizuala. Prezinta colectii de pictura, sculptura, grafica, arta decorativa.

The address is on Dimitrie Bolintineanu Street.

6. Rizer Park

From here we keep northwards Traian Street, leave the Central Square on the left and after about 2 km we find Rizer Park on the right. Personal consider ca se poate sari acest reper intrucat nu este deloc interesant si in plus este situat excentric.

7. Răsvan Angheluță Natural Science Museum Complex

We walked another 4 km through a neighborhood area to reach the closed gate of the Sensory Garden part of the Botanical Garden. It is part of the Natural Science Museum Complex “Rasvan Angheluta”. Ea ar trebui sa fie deschisa de miercuri pana duminica intre orele 10 – 18. So I had to bypass the entire complex, which also includes a Japanese Garden and an Astronomical Observatory. We arrived back in Marea Unire Boulevard with a nice view of the Danube and the barges moored or underway. Am aflat in acest fel ca exista si o a doua intrare, de fapt cea principala, in complex.

8. The Television Tower

De aici privirea ni se indreapta spre Turnul de Televiziune aflat in parcul cu acelasi nume. Turnul din beton armat are o inaltime de 110 metri si un lift care urca la cele 3 etaje.

The address is 1 Victor Valcovici Street.

9. Danube Beach

If we cross the park from the tower towards the Danube, we reach a staircase that descends to the Danube Beach. From the top of the stairs I took another picture of the Danube and the slides on the beach.

10. Danube embankment

I returned partially on the same road to the museum, then I went down to the Danube bank at the crossing point with the ferry, from where the Faleza Dunarii Alley begins, closing the reconnaissance route from Galati. I photographed the Macin Mountains on the other side of the river and the Danube in the evening.
