    Beautiful view of the city
    from the Cetatuia Hill
    by Fam.Rauca, 4 more photos
    A walk on the narrow streets of the old quarters, one becomes its rewards through the lovely view, from the hill of Cetatuia.
    Maybe it is hard the whole way to go on foot, but you can drive very easily also by car.
    On the knoll, the hotel Belvedere is placed. This is a beautiful place for the tourists, to sleep, well to meals, or simply to relax.
    From there above, one can observe the whole city and one can admire its beauty.
    It is a splendid view!

    Cluj-Napoca from Fortress Hill
    by HORSCHECK, 2 more photos
    The best spot to see Cluj-Napoca from above is the 60 m high Fortress Hill (Dealul Cetatuia).

    The hill used to be home to an Austrian fortress, dating back to the middle of the 18th century.

    Nowadays the hill is dominated by the 4-star Belvedere Hotel and a 26 m tall "Eroilor Neamului" cross.

    Directions:
    The Fortress Hill is located north of the old town, just across the river Somesul Mic. A stairway leads from the Str. Dragalina up to the top of thr hill.

    This spot is the most attractive or one of the most in the wholle city... surrounded by nice trees and a garden it gets a small but cosy palace that it should be open in summer (not in october when i was there) and should be a restaurant or a picnic spot...
    its in the east part of the city closer to the center and side by side to the river..by the way not much trimmed!!!

    It can help you find not only streets but also different cultural objectives.
    And it's available in Romanian, English, Hungarian, Italian, French and quite a few more.

    Hope it helps!

    The city center...Piata Uniri.. where there is the most or one of the most beautifull churches in the city,, no doubt at all...and the main streets set off , or where run the street from train station . 2km northwards crossing the river
    St Michael Church rule the square and the equastrian statue remember the famous Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus because during several centuries Hungary rules the fates of actual Romanians
