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.

Cluj-Napoca's airport is served by local bus number 8. The bus stop can be found about 150 metres in front of the terminal at the main street. Depending on the day the bus runs every 10-30 minutes to the Piata Mihai Viteazul in the city centre.
As I usually prefer taking public transport to taxis in Eastern Europe we went to the bus stop, where we got in contact with two Romanian people.
As it was a bank holiday, the bus only ran every 30 minutes, so we finally decided to take a taxi altogether. The taxi ride was only 17 RON to the city centre. Of course the Romanian people did the talking with the driver, so that we didn't get ripped off. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

We left Cluj-Napoca by train to Suceava.
In Romania the train fares depend on the type of train, which means that fast trains can cost more than double the price than regional trains.
In 2008 a ticket for the fast train (Accelerat) from Cluj-Napoca to Suceava was 43,80 RON and the journey for the 322 km took about 6,25 hours.
Please read my tip "Buying a train ticket in Romania" for more info.
Cluj-Napoca has train connections to almost all bigger cities in Romania, including Bucharest, Timisoara, Oradea and Iasi.
Cluj-Napoca's train station is located at the Str. Garii 1-3, about 3 km north of the city centre. The best way to get to town is by tram #100 or #101.

Cluj-Napoca's public transport system consists of buses, trolleybuses and trams.
We only used the trams, which cover the route along Hora Street between the city centre and the train station.
Tickets can be purchased from kiosks and cost 3 RON (2008) for two journeys. One half of the ticket has to be punched in the vehicle as soon as you board it.

We flew to Cluj-Napoca from Dortmund (D) with the Hungarian budget airline Wizzair.
Cluj-Napoca's airport is the biggest in Transylvania and the 4th biggest in Romania.
It is located about 9 km east of the Cluj-Napoca's city centre in the suburb of Someseni.
Please read my "From the airport to the city centre" tip for more information about how to get from the airport to the city centre.

Cluj-Napoca's city centre is best explored on foot, especially as many streets in the historic city centre are pedestrianised.
There are also many small alleys which aren't accessible to cars or buses.
If you are tired from walking you can still catch a local bus or tram and get back to your starting point. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

An international airport is available, 10 km East of the city. Frequent connections to Italy (Verona, Treviso, Bologna, Firenze, Bergamo) through Carpat Air, and to Germany (Frankfurt. Munich) via Lufthansa and the national airline: Tarom.
The Romanian railways have good connections to the main cities, but you must remember to make reservations in advance, because it may very well happen the train is full and you're not allowed to catch it. Leave a Comment Theme: Train
