Guidebook for Cluj-Napoca
Drinks & Nightlife
I just love this cosy place, where everyone from the bartenders to servers are some lovely friendly people, and the gin tonic is the best :) I fancy coming here on summer evenings, when the whole street hums of the people gathered here, who stand in front os the cafe smoking a fag and sipping on a soda :) And there are small parties and concerts that are worth seeing.

A nest for bohemians, nomads, explorers, sporty and artsy people. A place with its own flavor and music! A good place to hang out with friends, or enjoy a good jazz concert.

Sightseeing
Tucked away in a small quiet area only a few blocks away from the main square, this towering church is en route to the nearby Taylor's Bastion. It has just recently been renovated and one cannot leave the city without visiting it, it is just gorgeous. It dates back to the 15th century and was built in the Gothic style. If you are lucky you might hear a nice little organ music passage.

Parks & Nature
One of the oldest botanical gardens in Europe (established around 1870), with thousand of plants from the whole world, this place shouldn't be skipped while you visit Cluj. It's just a few-minutes walk on a hill from the city center, and it's worth going for a nice time in the middle of the nature.
