Highlights
Let's plunge into the days of old and discover together how Cluj first appeared, from a small trade-post at the edge of the Roman Empire, all the way up to the emerging metropolis of today. I will guide you through the most iconic streets and the most important monuments and I will tell you the legends and stories behind each of them. Legends involving kings, princes, monks, commoners, stories of assassination, of justice and many more. You will understand the layout of the city centre and I will also show you the best places to have a cold beer or a good ice cream. Join me in this journey! NB: The total duration of the tour includes the time it takes to go from one landmark to the other. The durations specified above refer to the time spent at each venue for explanations and photography.

Itinerary
A Gothic jewel, I will tell you the story of how it was built, from a small chapel outside the city walls to this magnificent edifice in the main square.
We will enter this majestic medieval church built in the late 15th century and admire the largest collection of coats of arms from this part of Europe. NB: Starting November 1st, the visiting time ends at 2 PM, from Monday to Friday. Any tour booked later than 1 PM will have to skip this entrance!
The best preserved corner tower of the medieval city, with an interesting story to tell. I will also show you some traces of a siege laid upon the city, preserved through the centuries.
A marvelous piece of byzantine architecture - it comes with a funny story during its construction, which I will tell you after you recover from the awe of being inside. ;)
After visiting lots of other sites for which this list is too narrow, I will tell you the story of one of the oldest places in Cluj - the Museum square. Everywhere you look around you see traces of the past, from the Roman times all the way up to the 20th century.

Cluj-Napoca is the main city of Transylvania, in north-west Romania, built along the Someșul Mic river at the foot of wooded hills. The main square, Piața Unirii, is dominated by the Gothic Church of St Michael and the statue of King Matthias Corvinus, who was born in the city in 1443.
