The weather is cool and variable, with average high temperatures typically ranging from 8°C to 12°C (46°F to 54°F) and average lows between 0°C and 4°C (32°F to 39°F). Precipitation is moderate, with a mix of rain and occasional late snow showers possible. Days begin to lengthen, offering increasing daylight hours, but cloudy skies are still common. Winds can be noticeable, especially near the Danube Delta. It’s a quiet period before the main tourist season begins.

What are Typical Costs and Availability in March?

March is generally considered the low or shoulder season in Tulcea. Accommodation is readily available, with prices for a standard double room in a guesthouse or hotel estimated between €30-€70 per night. Local restaurants offer affordable dining, with a meal in a mid-range establishment typically costing an estimated €10-€20. While public transport within the city is consistent, availability for Danube Delta boat tours might be limited, often requiring pre-booking or relying on fewer, shorter trips. Prices for such tours (if available) could range from an estimated €20-€50 per person for a shorter excursion.

What to Expect in March (Crowds, Events, Conditions)?

Expect very low tourist crowds in Tulcea during March, making it an ideal time for a quieter visit. Major tourist-focused events are rare this time of year, though local cultural or religious observances may occur. Conditions in the Danube Delta are transitional; the landscape is beginning to green, and early migratory birds may be spotted, but the full bloom of flora and arrival of all bird species occur later in spring. Water levels can be higher due to snowmelt, and weather conditions can change quickly, so layers are advised.

What are the Best Activities for March?

Given the variable weather and low crowds, March is suitable for exploring Tulcea’s cultural attractions. Visit the Danube Delta Eco-Tourism Museum Center to learn about the region’s biodiversity, or explore the Art Museum and the Independence Monument. Weather permitting, consider a walk along the Danube promenade. If boat tours to the Delta are available, opt for shorter trips focused on the areas closest to Tulcea, offering a glimpse of early spring birdlife. Enjoy the local cuisine in traditional restaurants without the hustle of peak season.
