Highlights
  • Cazinoul Constanta - The Constanța Casino is a casino located in Constanța, Romania. It has been designated by the Romanian Ministry of Culture and National Patrimony as a historic monument. The casino is on the Constanta boardwalk at 2 Elisabeta Boulevard along the Black Sea in the historic Peninsulă District of the city. The casino was built three separate times, with the first structure being erected of wood in 1880. It was designed to be a club and community center for elite and upper-class socialites willing to spend. Once considered Romania’s Monte Carlo and a symbol of the City of Constanța, the most-recent and modern version was built in Art Nouveau style, also being the most important Art Nouveau building in the country, designed and built according to the plans of Daniel Renard and inaugurated in August 1910. The most modern version of the Casino was in operation for 38 years, with interruption due to the two world wars, attacked and bombed by Bulgarian and German troops in World War I, ravaged in World War II and, at one point, acted as a makeshift wartime hospital. In 1948 it was taken over by the Communist government becoming a House of Culture (Casa de Cultură a Sindicatelor) for the party until 1960 when it was handed to the National Office of Tourism Oficiul National de Turism (ONT). The last major repairs took place in 1986-1988, and the building is currently abandoned.

Additional Information

Whether it’s during the summer or any other time, a trip to Constanta, situated by the Black Sea, makes for an excellent way to spend a day or even longer.

Constanta, a captivating city by the Black Sea, is situated roughly 220 km away from Bucharest. In Constanta, you have the opportunity to wander along its seafront, relish a beverage at the port, soak up the sun, or explore the numerous intriguing spots tucked away within the city.

Undoubtedly, the city’s hallmark is the Casino in Constanta, standing for more than a century and continually appearing in travellers’ photos. The foundation stone of the Casino was placed in 1880, serving as a gathering spot for the elite, sailors, and tourists. The Casino comprised two gaming rooms, a dance hall, and two reading rooms. However, in 1891, a severe storm razed the casino. The municipal government decided to construct a new one, which was launched in 1893.

Constanta in the summer - Iolena was lovely. Happy to chat and full of interesting information. We booked on a public holiday during summer so it was incredibly busy but Iolena navigated it beautifully and made sure everything went smoothly.

Beautiful Black Sea Sights of Historical Significance - This was another wonderfully memorable tour hosted by Ionela. The highlight was the artifacts of the Roman settlement in The National Museum of History and Archaeology. Ionela’s knowledge of the history of the important pieces greatly added the significance the Roman period of Romania’s history. I highly recommend this private tour for anyone wishing to experience a memory of their Romanian visit.

Great Day Out with lots of fun and information - Alin greeted us at the Airport in Bucharest for our transfer to the hotel with a big smile and lots of enthusiasm. The fun began almost immediately. We had so such fun and banter together. Alin is very enthusiastic, empathetic, informative but most of all he became our trusted friend and guide. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have a local guide. Be it to the Black Sea or another location around Romania. He made my trip to the Black Sea so special. Thanks Alin. Until we meet again. Steve

Worth ever dollar: A lesson in Romanian history + culture and great conversation - We had a great time visiting Constanta with Nic. We cannot say enough good things about him, his knowledge and passion for Romanian history and love of his country really made the trip memorable. The drive from Bucharest to Constanta was a little over 2 hours and the great conversation throughout the drive made it feel like 30 minutes. He highlighted and educated us on points of interest throughout the drive, along with the different towns and uniqueness of southern Romania. Once in Constanta, Nic taught us about the history of the town, the culture, and the architectural gems within the city. He made sure to point out things that could have easily been missed or ignored and helped us develop the appreciation for the city that it deserves. If you book this, or any other tour with Ride2Ro, request Nic. You won’t regret it. You won’t feel like you’re on a tour, you will feel like you are traveling with a friend. We have done tours all over the world and this one was of the best experiences we’ve ever had. Meeting people like Nic is what traveling is all about.
