The good place where to taste 'varza a la Cluj', the local dish, cabbage based. Together with Matei Corvin Restaurant this is a must-lunch if you wish to taste local cuisine.

Drinks & Nightlife
a cozy place very often full of interesting people.
Artists often go here for a drink together with students and other young people. One of the only places where people like to stand and not only sit at tables. In the same street I like also N.8 (a bit more calm) and Casa Tiff (much more calm, the movie fest HQ) for different moments. Just in front of the place there is a also a club if you like longer nights ;)

Parks & Nature
if it's a sunny day I wouldn't leave Cluj before a walk in Cetatuie Park. Set hotelBelvedere in your maps and walk to there. It's an half hour walk with a nice landscape of the city. Looking the city you will see a green tongue in the middle: these are 3 parks which might be your next walk if you enjoyed your first one.

Sightseeing
The salt mine in Turda should be in your list if you have more than few days at disposal. 40 minutes far from Cluj by car/bus, it is a place where to relax for half day. It has some games (ping-pong, small boats) inside for entrateining the youngest part of the group

Arts & Culture
There are many museums of historical interest but we like to underline more the Cluj contemporary art character. This is very symbolised by this place which includes laboratories of young artists together with an art gallery. The project was an idea and financed by more known artists of the Cluj school.
