Tour description
Cluj-Napoca is the unofficial, vibrant capital of the Transylvania region, a lively university city with a magnificent Gothic cathedral, elegant squares, and a rich blend of Romanian, Hungarian, and Saxon heritage. Youthful and deeply cultural, it combines history with a bustling modern rhythm. On this walking tour, a local guide will help you discover the city’s history and abundant energy.
You will stand in Union Square in front of the imposing St. Michael’s Church, stroll through ancient alleys and squares, and learn about the city’s Roman origins and multicultural past. Along the way, you will discover the student culture that has brought this place to life. Lively yet steeped in history, Cluj is an ideal city to explore on foot.
