Cluj-Napoca Old Town

The cultural capital of Transylvania — Hungarian baroque, the country's best food scene.

About

Cluj — Kolozsvár to its Hungarian founders, Klausenburg to the Saxons — is the cultural and culinary capital of Transylvania. The St Michael's Cathedral on Piața Unirii dates from the 14th century. The food scene is sharper than Bucharest now: Baracca, Roata, Samsara on the Hungarian side. The Hoia Baciu forest, ten minutes outside town, has a reputation for being haunted that the locals do not appreciate being asked about.
