The shop that I'm going to tell you about today, if you don't really love it, I definitely won't tell you. But the location might be a bit difficult to get to because it's my favorite shop in Romania. As a former Romanian scholarship student, this shop is suitable for working, reading, and spending time in peace. This shop is on the second floor of a building. If you look from the outside, you wouldn't even know that it's a coffee shop. You really have to tell people by word of mouth. When you walk up, there will be cool paintings and indie music. The menu has a variety of teas, coffees, and even craft beers because it's open until midnight. The prices are not expensive. You can pay with a card. If you like a quiet place, you should come and try it. #romania #cluj #cafehopping #afternoonteareview #cafereview

#hellohalloween #attractive Often called the unofficial capital of Transylvania, Cluj-Napoca is a vibrant city where history and modern life blend beautifully. Gothic landmarks like St. Michael’s Church and the dramatic Matthias Corvinus Monument tell stories of the past, while the cobbled streets and lively squares keep the medieval spirit alive. At the same time, Cluj is also a hub of creativity—home to art galleries, music festivals, and trendy cafés. The surrounding landscapes of the Apuseni Mountains make it a great base for nature lovers, while legends from Transylvania add a touch of mystery to the city’s charm. Whether you come for culture, history, or adventure, Cluj-Napoca is a destination that won’t disappoint. #HelloHalloween #ClujNapoca #Transylvania #CulturalJourney

You thought Transylvania was all about vampire legends? Cluj-Napoca is the "artistic heart" secretly hidden by Romanians - the medieval square is mixed with punk graffiti, the coffee shop hides the century-old hand brewing secret recipe, and even the cemetery is beautiful like an art park! --- [3 must-do things｜The magical feeling of traveling through time and space] 🏰 St. Michael's Cathedral: Gothic spires cut through the sky, the sound of the organ rang out in the evening, and the stained windows cast light and shadows like the opening of a vampire movie! 🎨 Fabrica de Pensule Art Factory: An abandoned factory transformed into a graffiti utopia. Break into an artist's studio and exchange a glass of red wine for an impromptu portrait. 🌿 Lie down in Central Park: fight with college students for the lawn, feed the swans, eat freshly baked Kürtőskalács (chimney bread), the aroma of cinnamon mixed with the sound of church bells, and relax in the Eastern European style! --- 【Locals lead the way｜Niche gameplay】 ☕ Cafe Archaeology: Joben Bistro in the basement, steampunk style + secret recipe coffee, the wine list is written on parchment, dark and romantic! 🛍️ Antique hunting at the flea market: On Sundays, go to the Piața Marasti market to look for old Eastern European items, such as crystal cups and stamps from the Iron Curtain era.

The tombstone carvings are breathtakingly beautiful. Be cautious if you are timid, but it will be unforgettable... --- [Avoidance Guide｜Blood and Tears Summary] ❗️ Be wary of gypsies who give you free roses, because they will ask you to pay! ❗️ Take a taxi with Bolt APP, which is half the price of roadside taxis ❗️ Leave 10% tip in restaurant, coins are insulting --- [The magical place where you can make movies for free] 📸 Rainbow Tower at Union Square: Baroque architecture + tram tracks, wear a retro suit and take photos like in "The Grand Budapest Hotel"! 📸 Graffiti Alley: Look for the "Crying Vampire" mural, with a side profile and red lips, full of dark style! --- "While Prague is crowded with tourists, Cluj is writing the gentle poetry of Transylvania in the steam of its cafes."

Address - Aleea Stadionului 1, Cluj-Napoca Ambiance/Facilities - If you’re on the higher floor, you may enjoy either Cluj stadium view or city’s skyline. I believe gym isn’t there and should be once new part off the hotel is opened. Highlights - Hotel is spotless and price was very affordable. Seemed to be the best option if you’re in Cluj. Avg. Price per Person - 40€/pp/night - booked directly through Radisson app with Premium rate Rating - 9/10 - While the hotel was spotless and standard was high, bear in mind it’s a bit far from the city centre (but well communicated via bus). Lack of grocery shops in the area, so grab your snacks beforehand.

On the way from Brasov to Cluj-Napoca... a big pool with a beautiful and amazing view

Here is the rooftop of Cluj-Napoca, next to Belvedere Hotel and the big orthodox cross... very beautiful and dreamy view.

📍Unification Square: Piața Unirii, Cluj-Napoca, Romania ▪️It is said to be the city of education where the Transylvania region is located. ▪️It is said to have been included in the top 10 European cities with beautiful Christmas markets. When I went, the market was not open, but it was a beautiful city. ▪️At Unification Square, you can also see the Gothic-style St. Michael's Cathedral (free admission) and the statue of Matthias Rex. #EuropeTravel

📍Cluj-Napoca City, Romania ▪️Located in the Transylvania region, it's said to be Romania's second largest city. ▪️It's a university city with the largest university in Romania and frequents cultural events.

#fallingseason My autumn visit to Roses Park in Timisoara was a delightful and serene experience. Located in the heart of the city, the park is surrounded by historic architecture and cultural sites. Nearby attractions include the beautiful Union Square, where you can admire grandiose buildings, and the Metropolitan Cathedral, an architectural gem. In the fall, Roses Park is transformed into a colorful haven. The trees and roses are still in full bloom, and the crisp air carries a sense of tranquility. The fallen leaves add to the picturesque charm, making it a perfect place for leisurely strolls, picnics, or simply enjoying the serene ambiance. The park features well-maintained paths, charming gazebos, and a charming lake with swans. The scent of the roses and the beauty of the landscaped gardens create a calming atmosphere. Exploring Roses Park in autumn is like stepping into a lush oasis in the heart of Timisoara. It's an ideal place to reconnect with nature and celebrate the changing seasons. The park's beauty, combined with its central location, makes it a must-visit destination. #romania #autumn #clujnapoca

Cluj-Napoca, the capital of Transylvania, is often a getaway to this fascinating region yet not many people actually stay in the city to see what it has to offer. But Cluj-Napoca is a really interesting place and it’s worth spending there a day or two. Even if the city has over 300.000 inhabitants it feels like a calm place with a vibrant atmosphere and a wonderful cafe culture (this is thanks to the large student community). The center is rather small but packed with beautiful architecture from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Right in the heart of the city is Piața Unirii – the Union Square – where you will find St. Michael’s Church (probably the most impressive Gothic churches in Transylvania), the National Art Museum, and the statue of Matthias Corvinus. #placetosee #stunningbeach #beachparty #beachlovers #topbeach #placetovisit #bestbeach #travel #perfectbeach #localescapes #helloautumn #beachvacation #hotelstaycation To get the best view of the city head to Cetățuia Park from where you can enjoy a beautiful panorama of Cluj-Napoca and beyond.
