“Constanta is a charming seaside town that oozes old world charm. It was a treat to be able to visit the Black Sea, despite waters being too chilly in Oct for a dip! On the plus side, being off tourist season means we had a wonderful time meandering the old town, as there wasn't crowds to push through. The natural history museum provides visitors with insights to how Constanta was in days of old.

2.Constanta and Mamaia Day Trip from Bucharest

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 42 reviews · from $9Best value

Travel 230 km from Bucharest to the Black Sea in a small air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking guide. See Constanta’s casino, cathedral, mosque, Roman mosaic, and museums, then spend time on Mamaia Beach. Guides may include Andrei, Paul, Marius, Alin, or Stefan.

“Fair amount of driving for fairly short visits to Constanta followed by Mamaia Beach. The Contanta walking tour was generally good. The only downside was that we didn't cover both the Archaeology Museum and Folk Museum as indicated in the description (I chose the Archaeology museum). We did end up spending more time at the beach than expected - I would have rather had some of that time at the Folk museum.”

“The driver was good and tried to explain about the city we were visiting, we were back to town although a lot earlier than stated on line. When we visited the beach area, the driver came with us and stayed with us. He could have stayed in the van and give us some privacy, I could tell he was bored. Overall a good day, but I would have loved to be able to sit by the beach by myself for an hour or two.”
