National Museum of Transylvanian History
Culture
The greatest museum of Transylvanian history in Romania — 400,000 artefacts spanning Dacian gold, Roman occupation, medieval Transylvania, and Ottoman conflicts in a spectacular 18th-century baroque palace. The Dacian gold collection alone is worth the visit.
📍Str. Constantin Daicoviciu 2, Cluj-Napoca
Piața Unirii Cluj
Culture
The great central square of Transylvania — a baroque and neo-Gothic plaza anchored by St. Michael's Church (the second largest Gothic church in Romania), the equestrian statue of Matthias Corvinus, and surrounded by Habsburg-era palaces now housing cafés and shops. The soul of Cluj-Napoca.
