When to book flights to Cluj Napoca
Fly to Cluj Napoca at any time of year and you’ll land in a beautiful city, so deciding when to book your Cluj Napoca flights really depends on what you want from your break. If you’re looking for heat and sunshine, then obviously summer is the perfect time to plan your trip. When you book flights to Cluj Napoca in the summer months, you can look forward to temperatures in the mid-twenties - and you won’t have quite as many students to contend with, as many leave the city for summer.
In autumn, the temperatures drop a little and rainfall is higher, but the landscape turns a stunning kaleidoscope of rusts and yellows and Transylvania looks beautiful in a whole new way. Book flights to Cluj Napoca in winter, and you’ll find yourself on the doorstep of some well-known Romanian ski slopes.
What to see in Cluj Napoca
There is a huge amount to see and do when you book Cluj Napoca cheap flights with Ryanair, starting with a thorough exploration of the city! Yes, you’re in Transylvania, but what you’ll encounter is far from vampires and ghost stories. Expect beautiful churches, castles and fortresses, stunning and perfectly manicured gardens, a wealth of wonderful museums, and plenty of open park space for you to relax in (Central Park and the Botanical Gardens are two particularly nice ones). The city is lovely, so take your time strolling its streets and taking it all in.
There’s a lot to do just outside the city too - in fact, many attractions can be found in the beautiful great outdoors of Transylvania. The Cheile Turzii (Turda Gorge) is one superb natural attraction where you can go hiking for hours in stunning surroundings.
The Turda salt mine is close to the gorge and is equally worth a visit, perhaps as part of a day trip combined with the gorge. The history of the mine is fascinating and intense - you can even take a boat trip down in the natural lake at the bottom of the mine!
