January 20, 2022 Vergie Nakamoto

Cluj-Napoca is the unofficial capital of Transylvania, and though you (probably) won’t find vampires here, you can explore castles, fortresses, botanical gardens, museums and parks. Cluj-Napoca has a vibrant arts scene that embraces both the traditional and the progressive. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy classical concerts, theatrical performances, puppet shows and music of every genre, from jazz to modern pop to electronica.

Reviewed By Siddharthabiswas - Kolkata (Calcutta), India

I went for a conference and I was bowled over not only by the structure, but also by the depth of wisdom and width of learning. This is the biggest university in Romania and all the campuses are brilliant. The main campus is magnificent and impresses you with an aura of historic grandeur. I don't know about the average tourist, but this is a must see for anyone with any interest in academics.

This section of Cluj feels so "ancient" with cobblestoned streets, yet so modern with its variety of places to sit and have a drink, especially in the summertime. I recommend Charlie's Pub... cocktails unlike any other.
