Ostrov — Silistra border crossing (Romania – Bulgaria)
The Ostrov — Silistra crossing is an international ferry point linking Romania and Bulgaria across the Danube. It connects the Romanian town of Ostrov with the Bulgarian city of Silistra and operates according to the ferry timetable rather than around the clock.
It is a relatively quiet crossing, handling roughly 200–500 vehicles per day, so queues stay short. Cars are processed in the Romania → Bulgaria direction at RO→BG.
Key facts
- Type: ferry crossing over the Danube.
- Operating hours: by ferry schedule.
- Daily traffic: about 200–500 vehicles.
- Typical wait: 10–30 minutes plus the ferry crossing time.
Queues and monitoring
Live status and historical figures help plan a trip: check RO→BG and the route statistics. Because the crossing depends on ferry departures, the actual delay combines the waiting line with the river crossing itself.
Alternatives
Drivers seeking a bridge instead of a ferry can use Giurgiu — Ruse, about 120 km away. That bridge carries far more traffic and tends to have heavier queues, so the ferry at Ostrov often remains the calmer option for unhurried travel.
