One of the most attractive points or at last the most beautiful for me. its a gorgeous lake with trees surrounded it and a "palace" probably used in hottie summer season byt closed at that time when i was there...behind the lake there is a wider gardens next to next to the river not much timmed
Everything is at hand you dont need to walk a lot to move from one end to other..so take it easy and by the way its a safety city
FC CFR 1907 Cluj
by bonio
A visit to watch the current Romanian league champions (2009/10) play. A home game against Turgu Mures on a very wet night. Surprised by a large, modern stadium and the quality of football played - both pretty good.
Ticket prices incredibly cheap compared to English games.
For the record a 2-1 victory for the visitors from Mures.
Buying a train ticket in Romania
by HORSCHECK
Buying a train ticket in Romania can be a bit complicated.
First of all train fares depend on the type of train. The faster the train the more expensive the ticket. In addition to this a seat reservation is obligatory to most of the trains.
Train tickets are sold in the station office only about 1 hour before the train departs, this is due to the slow seat allocation and reservation system.
An alternative is to buy your tickets at one of the CFR booking offices (Agentia de Voiaj CFR).
These can be found in most towns and sell tickets in advance but usually not for same day travel.
Cluj-Napoca's CFR booking office can be found at the Piata Mihai Viteazul 20, right in the city centre.
