About

The station building was built in 1972, being one of the most special buildings in Tulcea Municipality. It was made according to the plans of the architect Irina Rosetti. Special at Tulcea Train Station is its tri-lobed plan, which takes the directions of the three axes that lead to the building; the river line, the cliff line and the road from the city center. The boat-looking building was conceived as a moor consisting of three arches – three half-boats that give the impression to the passenger on the ship that this building is rotating.

The building houses the waiting room, the ticket offices, the information desk, the hand luggage store and the station master's office. The station has 4 lines (about 300 m long each) and 3 platforms. In 1990, passenger trains departing and arriving from here had 11 cars (the Bucharest express) or 9 cars (the personal and Constanta trains). Here you will also be able to admire a beautiful vintage steam locomotive in very good condition.
