One of the most beautiful cities in Romania, Cluj Napoca is the city that is also called “the heart of Transylvania”.

With a population of over 330,000 people, it is the second most populated city in the country, after the capital city, Bucharest.

Clus, which means “near” in Latin, refers to the hills surrounding the city, from where people can enjoy a spectacular view over the city full of lights.

Today, Cluj is a vibrant city with an important economic center, a rich cultural life and a strong educational system for Romanian and foreign students studying here.

The city is surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains, which is why it is very popular for outdoor activities, offering the most beautiful views, hiking, just minutes from downtown.
