Almost everyone who comes to Tulcea is here for the Danube Delta. Multi-day liveaboard cruises and single-day excursions both leave from the city's river station, winding through reed forests, water-lily lakes, and pelican-rich side-channels. Beyond the delta, the early-Christian monasteries at Cocoș, Saon and Celic-Dere lie a half-hour drive west; the Roman fortress ruins of Enisala overlook lake Razim a similar distance south.
