Cluj-Napoca is a very walkable city, especially within the Old Town, where the majority of landmarks are in proximity to each other.
At the heart of the Old Town, or Centru, is Unirii Square, ringed by elegant 1700s and 1800s buildings like Banffy Palace, housing a fine arts museum. Gothic St. Michael’s Church has ornate windows and an elaborate pulpit, and remnants of medieval fortifications include Tailors’ Tower. The area is home to the Romanian National Opera and the Transylvanian Museum of Ethnography, and is packed with eateries and bars.
Central Park in Cluj was established in the 19th century, and it is a premier, historic green oasis in the heart of Cluj-Napoca, located on the southern shore of the Someșul Mic River. It is a popular, 13-hectare recreational spot featuring century-old trees, a picturesque lake (Chios) for boating, and the iconic renovated Casino building.
