Transylvanian experience |
dare to live it!! |
Cluj-Napoca, the historical capital of Transylvania, is one of the most important cultural and economical cities of Romania. It lies in the centre of the country, at the crossroads of many national and international highways.
The fifth town of the country, Cluj-Napoca is a city with two seperate names: Napoca - the name of the ancient Dacian fortressand Cluj, which comes from the Latin word "clusum". Clusum means to be 'closed', and this is due the fact that Cluj is protected by the surrounding hills. The city has been known by its German name - Klausenburg, or its Hungarian name - Kolozsvar, being also a very important cultural and political centre for the Transylvanian Hungarians.
Cluj Napoca is a university town with more than 60.000 students, active nightlife and concerts.
Today, Cluj-Napoca is one of the most important Romanian cities, being a tourist destination and a starting point for other tourist targets.
