Biserica Sfântul Mihail

Cascada Vălul Miresei

Bridal Veil Waterfall is one of the most beautiful cascades in the Apuseni Mountains, set in the Rachitele area of Cluj county, within a spectacular mountain landscape. The water plunges from a considerable height, spreading over the rocks in a fine sheet of droplets that recalls a bride's veil, which gives the fall its poetic name. The waterfall is fed by a mountain stream and changes its appearance with the seasons, being spectacular in spring at the melting of the snows and magical in winter when it partly freezes. Access is by a marked trail through the forest from the nearby car park, suited to easy and moderate hikes. The area is ideal for photography, fresh air and quiet, and nearby one can discover other natural sights of the Apuseni. It is a beloved destination for lovers of nature and the mountains who explore this corner of western Transylvania.

Parcul Central Simion Bărnuțiu

Simion Bărnuțiu Central Park is the oldest and best-loved park in Cluj-Napoca, an island of greenery laid out in the mid-19th century in the English landscape style. Crossed by paths shaded by century-old trees, the park has at its centre a lake with an islet, where in summer you can rent boats and pedalos and in winter go skating. Here stands the Casino, a historic building turned into an urban culture centre, along with sports courts and children's playgrounds. Generations of locals have spent summer afternoons, romantic walks and open-air events here. Set beside the Someșul Mic river and close to the centre, the park remains the city's favourite place to unwind, pleasantly busy at weekends. Admission is free; check the schedule for boat rentals and the events hosted at the Casino.

Cluj Arena

Cluj Arena is the most modern stadium in Transylvania and one of Romania most important multi-purpose venues, opened in 2011 on the bank of the Someș, in Cluj Central Park. With a capacity of over 30,000 and contemporary architecture, its elegant canopy lighting up at night, the stadium hosts not only football matches but also major concerts and festivals, among them the famous Untold, which turns the arena and the surrounding park into a city of music. Its central position, next to the park and Cetățuia hill, makes Cluj Arena a visible urban landmark for locals and tourists. Outside events, the surrounding area is pleasant for a stroll, with riverside paths. For visitors, the best experience is to catch an event, which captures the energy of the university city. Check the calendar of matches and concerts and ticket availability well ahead, especially during the festival season.
