Neversea 2019: Everything you need to know about the festival

Neversea 2019 has just begun and if you want to be at the centre of the fun, here’s a few things that you should know. We’ll give you some pointers on where to find the best places to stay, what prices you should expect for accommodation in Constanta, the best places to eat and how to get to Neversea 2019 festival.

How to get to Constanta (Neversea 2019)

If you’re coming from western Europe by plane, Bucharest will probably be your first landing spot. You should know that there are special minibuses going from Bucharest International Airport to Constanta. Almost every bus from Bucharest to Constanta stops in front of the Constanta Railways Station. From there to Neversea Beach is a 15-minute walk in a straight line or you can take a bus.

Minibuses from the airport are just one way to get to Constanta. You can also take the 780 bus from the airport to Gara de Nord (Bucharest’s Central Station). From Gara de Nord you could take on of 8-10 trains that go to Constanta every day, but note that these are very crowded at this time of the year. A ticket for a Bucharest – Constanta one-way train costs about RON 60 or EUR 13. Normally the trip takes about 2.5 – 3 hours, but Romania’s railways are known for delays, so you should keep your fingers crossed.

Another way to get to Neversea 2019 is by coach. Not far from Gara de Nord there is a coach station, with coaches leaving for Constanta every 30 or 45 minutes. The ticket costs somewhere between RON 40 – 60, or EUR 9 – 13.

You can also ride to Neversea 2019 using the Blablacar ridesharing app for long distances, also at affordable rates.

Life during Neversea 2019 in Constanta

The easiest way to find accommodation in Constanta is not to look inside Constanta city, but in the areas around it, if you want to find something cheaper. Usually in this period, a one-bedroom apartment costs somewhere around RON 400-500 or EUR 90-100. The most expensive places are on Booking and AirBnB, where the private owners will try to profit as much as they can during Neversea 2019.

Don’t try to find accommodation in from of Central Railway Station in Constanta. You will be ripped off and it may not be safe. Hotels in Constanta are already fully booked, so the closest rooms you could find are in the Mamaia resort, with prices starting from EUR 100 per room.
