Things to do in Cluj-Napoca Airport
Cluj-Napoca is the cultural capital of Transylvania and Romania's fastest-growing city, with a vibrant university atmosphere and a beautifully preserved historic center. The Gothic St. Michael's Church on Unirii Square, the National Museum of Transylvanian History, and the Botanical Garden (one of Romania's finest) are the main sights. Cluj's creative café, craft beer, and food scene punches well above its size, and the medieval villages and castles of Transylvania — Sighișoara, Bran, Peles Castle at Sinaia — are all within 2–3 hours by road.
