Cluj-Napoca, Romania Travel Guide | Exploring the Transylvanian Capital!
We spent the day exploring Cluj-Napoca, the economic heart and unofficial capital of Transylvania! Cluj is first and foremost a college town, so we found plenty of cool things to do in this Transylvanian city. The highlight of our day? Tea at Samsara Teahouse, which we guarantee is the coolest teahouse ever!

Glad you had a great time in our city! For anyone else who wants to visit, keep in mind that there is a free walking guided tour in English every day at 11 am and 6 pm, if you want to learn more about the city and the buildings. I really recommend it! The crowd gathers in front of the Mathias Rex statue and the tour takes about 1h30m to 2h. Happy travels!

If you think Cluj is "great" you should visit Timisoara, Brasov or Sibiu. So much more beautiful. Cluj is known for it's festivals and universities, not it's architecture or beauty

Next time you come to Romania you should visit Peleș Castle in Sinaia. It's like an hour away from Bucharest towards Brasov and Cluj. It's the most beautiful castle in Romania and they film a lot of movies there. Also, the city of Sighisoara is beautiful where Vlad Tepes (Dracula) was actually born, you can visit his house. Happy travels!
you are very lovely couple and very thanks for giving information keep making videos
I love ROMANIA ❤️

welcome to cluj
I would to ask, if only can travel to either Sibiu or Cluj-Napoca, which city you recommend? Thanks.
I flew in Cluj 5 years nearly to the day July 4th in 2016 after 30 days in Plovdiv, Bulgaria with an F-15 Air National Guard unit , and then spent 3 months working at Campia Turzii and living in the Hotel Belvidere in downtown Cluj! Nice job guys ! Also I also made 5 videos of the whole experience! Under disc golf interview on my KZread channel please enjoy a look

I'm happy that you came in our city! I do have to say, the buildings that you saw in the city, the majority of them are Hungarian architecture, cuz, you know, Cluj, and all of Transylvania were part of the Hungarian kingdom until 1920. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not a fanatic of "give back Transylvania to Hungary", I'm pretty happy that Transylvania is where it is. Go along, and keep up the good work!

Hi Jack, Gab. I'm going to Romania soon I hope. What tips can you give me? How widespread is English spoken? I'm hoping to go to adopt a dog. I'll be putting up videos if I'm successful in rescuing her.
Are you using DJI Pocket 2 camera?
going to Romania with a girlfriend is a little like to go to a 3-stars Michelin restaurant with packed lunch
FYI There is no "romanian only" bell, you can ring it if you're not too afraid to make people look at you because of the noise u make.
