Cluj-Napoca from Fortress Hill
2 more images

Favorite thing: 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.

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 Stefan cel Mare Square

Favorite thing: Other place in the middle of the city is the Stefan cel Mare Square, on which one can admire the National Theatre and the State Opera, all in one building.
In front of the house, was placed two statues, which represent two big Romanian poets: Mihai Eminescu and Lucian Blaga.
All buildings that bordered the place are history parts of the city and of the country.

The Mihai Viteazul Square
1 more image

Favorite thing: This place, surrounded from new constructions, and from modern traffic-full streets, became its name Mihai Viteazul in the year 1919, as memory of the Romanian lead that created, in 1600, the first Union of the three Romanian Lands.
In the middle, of the place is placed the rider statue of Mihai Viteazul, bordered from a little park.
Besides the new high buildings, one can admire there, the palace Szeky and the palace Berde, beautiful old constructions.

Beautiful view of the city from the Cetatuia Hill
4 more images

Favorite thing: 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!

Favorite thing: 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
