    Historic Sites
    Razbitie 1892 Cultural center image
    This place, known as “The little NDK” is the cultural centre of the town. Its particular architecture along with its square adorned with fountains shaped as stairs reminds us of the time it was built. If you are in the town and the time is proper you’ll be able to catch an outdoor concert, some presentation or at least a wedding, but even if you’re not lucky enough to see that, the place itself is worth a visit.

  14. 2.0 Bechet-Oreahovo Ferry (6 reviews)
    - One way to get ffrom Romania to Bulgaria
    Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Ferries
    Bechet-Oreahovo Ferry image
    The Bechet-Oreahovo ferry crosses the Danube every 2 hours. It is more expensive that crossing the bridge, but it becomes a question of time. Time depends on the waiting time for the bridge and the loading and unloading time of the ferry. With all the road construction in both countries (Thanks to EU money!), traffic has slowed down to a crawl at a time when international commerce and therefore, the transport of goods is rapidly increasing. This crossing was very slow and painful. I'll take my chances and cross the bridge the next time. See more..
