Tulcea
Laid out on seven hills like Rome, Tulcea has been an important harbour since ancient times. On the delta where the Danube River finally ends its journey through Europe, this modern city is home to local Lipovani, Russian and Turkish minorities, who give Tulcea its multi-ethnic flavour. St Nicholas’ Church and the Azzizie Mosque are important landmarks, yet the city is best known as the gateway to the extraordinary nature of the Danube delta region.
