Central Park

Refreshingly shaded in the summer and still well-visited during the colder winter months, Cluj-Napoca's Central Park is a lively social hub that hosts concerts, contains free-to-use sporting machines, and even offers boats for hire (to be put to use on the park's own lake).

St Michael’s Church & Clock Tower

Cluj-Napoca's central Union Square (Piata Unirii) contains the nation's second most prominent Gothic church with a tall clock tower from which some of the best city panoramas unfold. Dating back to as early as the 14th century, the church still holds daily mass (in Romanian and Hungarian) to-date.

Cetatuia Hill

A 15-minute hike will take you up Cluj-Napoca's most scenic observation point, the Cetatuia Hill (just across the river from the Old Town). The hill's park-like environment draws in locals and visitors in-the-know, and a plethora of cafes offer sit-down snack and/or drink breaks.

Museum Square

Cluj Napoca's second most popular square is indeed in immediate proximity to one of the town's most important museums (the National Museum of Transylvanian History), but is an appealing spot in its own right for the outdoor bars, cafes, and an irresistible old-age charm.

Turda Gorge

A place of rare natural beauty a mere 15km away from Cluj-Napoca, the Turda Gorge is excellent hiking grounds for explorers of any fitness level. Persevere all the way to the top (which shouldn't take more than an hour) and enjoy some incredible, sweeping views of the green surroundings. Sundays here tend to be the busiest.

National Theater and Romanian Opera

If a trip to the theatre isn't something you would initially consider doing during your stay in Cluj, think again - the city's National Theater is heralded as one of the best in the country, and regularly puts on an ever-changing selection of musical and theatrical performances (check their website for news and schedules).

Tailors' Bastion & Baba Novac Statue

The Tailors' Bastion is what remains of the town's original 15th century fortifications. Although the bastion's lookout is not one that's best fit for taking in all of Cluj-Napoca today, the site is worth visiting if only for historic value (and its exhibitions of Romanian art). Directly outside is the statue of Baba Novac, a distinguished anti-Ottoman resistance fighter.

Hoia Baciu Forest

Hoia Baciu Forest is locally referred to as the Bermuda Triangle of Romania. The forest is surrounded by an air of mystery, with trees growing in spirals, inexplicable sightings and a multitude of stories about people who have gone missing only to reappear years later without any memory of what happened. Visit the worlds creepiest forest - if you dare.
