The route of the three strongholds
ctv Says: The route of the three strongholds its a really old/nice place you have to visit. Be careful when you take pics (even if you pay the fee). Earlier today one of the guards told me I can take as many pics i want but i might get sued if i post them on the internet because the...
tengere Says: In the middle of history of Transylvania, this church hides the most important moments of history of Transylvania
Historical Site plus Beautiful Nature
magyarvandor Says: In the city itself there is not so much to do from my experience of being there for a week. It has a castle area with several monuments. However, the surrounding area is beautiful if you want to explore the small villages and towns nearby or enjoy nature by going for a hike.
Sfantul Mihail - Roman Catholic Cathedral
larigot Says: The Roman Catholic Cathedral is worth a visit. Its architecture has elements of both Romanesque and Gothic styles. There are some ancient frescoes in the north aisle, and some very handsome statuary and tombs in the south aisle. There is also a one-manual and pedal positive...
Mique Says: A strangely loopsided building. It used to have two towers but one was blown off completely though i can't remember why or how it came about. But it gives a rather odd feeling at least i had it when i looked at it first. Since the other tower has been demoslished so...
Look closely at the wooden church
Mique Says: And see the amasing craftmanship of the people that build it. It is an old church but it still is in good shape. And i loved looking at the walls just to see how neatly the beams matched and build up the wall. It kept me fascinated
Mique Says: Not so long ago these fresco's have been discovered in the catholic cathedral. They're not in the best condition but it is a surprise to find them at all.
Mique Says: Just outside the citadel you can find an old wooden church.Somehow i thought at first that it wouldn't be used anymore because of the cathedrals inside the citadel. But last time i was there a wooden sort of instrument was used around the church and also in the bell-tower...

Pizzeria Roberta: Delicious Italian Cuisine

ancabelascu Says: Here you can have a great night with great music and dancing.In Alegria you can have electric music or Retro Music on Thursday, In Pub13 a combination between eating and dancing, it is a restaurant that offers food dring and entertainment. Great location, in the old Austrian...
Allegria and Underground Pub: Good music
ctv Says: 2 good clubs No short pants
Easy Access by Bus or Train from Budapest
magyarvandor Says: Easy to travel to from Budapest by train or by a mini bus which can be found at the Nepliget bus station. Mini bus is the cheapest option and may be quicker too. Only remember to set your clock ahead by an hour when you cross into Romania.
ctv Says: If you want to visit Alba Iulia you can come using different transportation methods: by train, or by bus. I would recommend coming to Alba Iulia by bus. One of the best company's is DACOS ( http://www.dacos.com.ro ).
Don't go to this part of the town!
dunemaire Says: As a tourist , don't go to the "Tiganime" part of the town after dark. Nasty things happen and there isn't anything worth seeing anyway.
Mique Says: Take care and don't make fun of Mihael Viteazul's horse. I had a now funny story but then not so nice experience and i haven't been the only one. member Dunemaire told me an old school experience from her when we passed the horse and i laughed. And yes, i'll eventually will...
Mique Says: Some parts of the citadel are really old. And sometimes you can find clear evidence of it. In one of the houses in the citadel you can find embedded in the wall the part of an old window. But it has sagged down a lot. The new window has build partially over it byut most of...
ancabelascu Says: Finally Alba Iulia has a place where to use the bikes. The South and the North places between the walls of the fortress are quite good for biking in the city. The tourists ca rent the bike with 5 lei-1,2 Euros and they can see all the fortress by bike, can stop and have a...
Mique Says: The one thing of interest to visit in Alba Iulia is the citadel and the buildings in it. The citadel walls are very old, the buildings inside are of more recent date. Though on occasion and if you look well, you can spot an old medieval window frame still embedded in a wall....
