Why travel?

'We travel for the sheer pleasure, but also to find something that matters deeply, to discover more about ourselves, to make life more meaningful, and to better understand the world.'
The intelligent traveler by Jenny Herbert

Rome, Budapest, Paris… lots of tourists, fancy restaurants and expensive nightlife…take a break and feel the difference, visit Cluj-Napoca!
Wondering what is there to do in Transylvania’s capital city?
Here some tips:
1. Want to have fun? We can give you some hints of the best pubs and Clubs. Cluj-Napoca is in the first place a student city and students in Romania do love to party. The first pub is just across the street from our hostel in the heart of the city, where the hostel staff also joins the party on Mondays and Sundays.
2. Are you thirsty to know more? Let’s talk about culture and history; did you know that Cluj-Napoca was built by the Romans, conquered by Hungarians and was ruled by Austrians? Let’s see if you can find the marks they left on this city. Just to see what we mean, one of the greatest kings of Hungary (Matei Corvin) was born in a house that’s only 5 minutes away from our hostel. We can show you his Childhood house. You may see him in all his glory on the statue in front of the Catholic Church.
3. Beauty was celebrated in all times, around the corner is one of the palaces of the Noble Family of Bamfy, and inside is the Art Museum, where you can admire paintings and expositions. The Pharmaceutical Museum, Ethnographical and Transylvanian Museum are all within 5 minutes’ reach.
4. Exotic flowers, green plants and fresh air are available for nature lovers in the biggest Botanical Garden of south-eastern Europe. If you are looking for a little bit of knowledge about people and the land, the Village Museum gives you the opportunity to admire the evolution of our society and rural architecture on one of the hills of Cluj-Napoca.
5. Winter sports friends can also visit us, we have three skate rinks, a small ski slope in Cluj, and a bigger one 50 kilometers away. Nearby there are mountains, lakes and spectacular canyons.
6. For a one day tour outside the city, we propose a visit to the salt mines that reach 13 levels below the ground. Did you know that here you can hear your voice echoing 16 times? That’s something worth trying. The salt mine is also beneficial for children, but not only due to the curative effect the salty air has on their lungs. We have also great cliffs in that area and salty lakes in which you can just float around in summer and enjoy the sun.
