Summary/Abstract: The port city on the Danube, Braila has a long tradition in travel. This Danubian port appears named “Drinago” in an old Spanish geographical description and travels, “Libro delconocimiento/Book of Knowledge” (1350) and several Catalan maps (Angellino de Dalorto, 1325-1330and Dulcert Angelino, 1339). Intense commercial transactions carried out in port, the opportunity of achieving high and quick results have attracted many foreign merchants - Bulgarian, Macedonians,Albanians, Greeks, but also French, Belgian, Austrian, Italian, Hebrew, and many Romanians from Transylvania, thus Braila became a multiethnic entity. Future activities, specific to the trade from portsenlist it on the tourist map of Romania. Tourism resources are the most diverse. The natural resources combine the picturesque ponds and lakes with the charm of wild beaches or protected areas such as the“Balta Mica a Brailei/The Small Pond of Braila”.
