The population of Galați has shrunk to just 217,851, yet the city remains an important port and industrial center in eastern Romania. While the city boasts a rich history and cultural attractions, the bureaucracy can be a persistent headache. Summers are scorching hot, with temperatures sometimes exceeding 35°C, while winters are bitterly cold, with temperatures plunging below -10°C. Despite the challenges, Galați's strategic location on the Danube and its thriving steel industry make it a practical choice for those seeking economic opportunity in Romania.
