Its magnificent Art Nouveau building standing on the seashore, being a kind of beacon for connoisseurs of beauty, is also a permanent symbol of the resort city. Once theatrical performances and balls were organized here for travelers. Due to this fact, the city became known as a major tourist destination. Thus, the casino is of interest not only to gamblers but also to architecture enthusiasts. And to watch wonderful performances, go to Teatrul Național de Operă și Balet Oleg Danovski, which is also attractive from an architectural point of view.
When it comes to local museums, Muzeul Marinei Române with exhibits in the form of Romanian sailor suits, ship models, and parts of vessels is especially popular among tourists. This is a great place to expand your horizons, learning a lot of interesting facts about Romanian shipping industry. Art connoisseurs should go for aesthetic pleasure to Muzeul de Artă Constanța (stores a wonderful collection of paintings) or Muzeul de Sculptură Ion Jalea (with its magnificent exhibits such as works of sculptural art).
