About Giurgiu
Giurgiu is a Danube port city in southern Romania, directly opposite the Bulgarian city of Ruse on the opposite bank of the Danube, connected by the Friendship Bridge (Podul Prieteniei) — one of only two road-rail bridges crossing the Danube between Romania and Bulgaria. The city has a strategic position on the Danube at the traditional crossing point between Wallachia and Bulgaria, a role that has shaped its history from the medieval Ottoman fortress of Gyurgevo through the 19th-century commercial port era to its present identity as a Romanian-Bulgarian border crossing.
Giurgiu's interest lies primarily in its Danube position and its role as a crossing point to Bulgaria — the Bulgarian city of Ruse, just across the river, is one of the finest Bulgarian cities with an extraordinary concentration of 19th-century Austro-Hungarian and Bulgarian Revival architecture, excellent museums and a vibrant cultural life, accessible within 30 minutes by crossing the bridge. The Danube floodplain surrounding Giurgiu — part of the Small Wetland of the Danube — has important bird-watching sites and traditional fishing communities in the riverside villages. The historic Giurgiu Island (Insula Giurgiu) in the Danube, with the remains of the Ottoman fortress, is visible from the city promenade.
Important Transfer Information
Danube Crossing to Bulgaria: The Friendship Bridge connecting Giurgiu to Ruse (Bulgaria) is the most convenient road-rail crossing between Romania and Bulgaria on the western Danube. The Bulgarian city of Ruse — with its remarkable 19th-century neoclassical and Baroque architecture, the Nativity Cathedral, and excellent Danube panoramas — is accessible within 30 minutes of crossing the bridge and is one of the finest cities in Bulgaria.
Danube Wetlands and Bird Watching: The Danube floodplain around Giurgiu — part of the internationally important Ramsar-listed wetland areas of the lower Danube — is one of the most significant bird habitats in Romania, with large colonies of herons, cormorants and egrets, and important populations of white-tailed eagles and other raptors. The riverside villages and the Bulgarian shore wetlands are accessible by small boat.
Journey Time Note: The 91km journey from OTP Airport to Giurgiu takes approximately 92 minutes — the relatively long journey time compared to the distance reflects the routing via Bucharest city traffic and the southern approach road. Our drivers know the most efficient routing to minimise travel time.
