Debarcaderul Regie

Debarcaderul Regie is a newly opened launch point for non-motorized craft on the Dâmbovița river in Bucharest, located on the left bank between Grozăvești and Podul Ciurel. It has been developed as part of the urban ecology programme "Dâmbovița Apă Dulce" and is the fifth river access point in this network, following similar points at Abatorului, Timpuri Noi, Națiunile Unite and Operă.

The site is intended for kayaks, SUP boards and canoes rather than sailboats, and free guided boat trips are regularly organised, taking participants under the city's bridges along the river. Participation in these events typically requires no advance booking, but access is limited by available spots.

The area lies right next to Politehnica University and a number of student dormitories and campuses, making the Regie district one of Bucharest's most student-dense neighbourhoods. Debarcaderul Regie is conceived as part of a long-term effort to reconnect the city with the river, featuring temporary urban interventions, street furniture and experimental solutions along the riverbank.

If you own a kayak, SUP or canoe, you can join the organised river trips and experience the bridges and banks from the water yourself.
