Cluj-Napoca Travel Guide: 258 reviews and 773 photos

Capital city of Transylvania

Cluj is the 4th most populated city (cca 320.000) and the most important cultural center in NW part of Romania.

Cluj offers a lot of things to explore, places to relax (see the nice Bothanical Garden - practically a small forest).

Residents of Cluj are very nice and helpful. You'll find good accomodation (though not many 4* and only two 5* hotels) and places to eat.

After Sibiu, Cluj is my next recommendation to visit in Romania.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Clean, friendly people, superb bothanical garden

Last visit to Cluj-Napoca: May 2002

Codrut, lovely little page about Cluj-Napoca, which we enjoyed a lot last year. The national thetre and the Mihail church are among my favourite buildings in the city.

The more interesting part of Cluj history wasn't that for long time was under catholic influence , but that for long time was the more heretic city of Europe. In the age of reformation, thanks to the unitarian church

O pagina interesanta cu imagini incantatoare. Am reusit in sfarsit si eu sa imi fac un pic de timp, sa vizitez Clujul mai in detaliu. Salutari din Viena! Gabriela
