Cluj has a typical continental climate which means the summers are warm and pleasant whilst the winters are cold.
High season in July and August coincides with the city’s best weather, when temperatures peak at around 25 degrees Celsius. These months also overlap with Romanian school holidays making accommodation rates more expensive and cheap flights to Cluj harder to find. The shoulder seasons of May – June and September are better for those who want to make savings and prefer to visit when the weather is mild. Film lovers should try to time their visit in late May when the Transylvania International Film Festival takes place. Another great time to visit is in October during the Transylvania Jazz Festival. Visitors should be aware however that both flights to Cluj and accommodation prices are higher during both of these events.

City overview
As the second largest city in Romania and the capital of Transylvania, Cluj-Napoca is considered the country’s main hub for arts and culture. The city’s thriving student population adds to its bohemian café and bar culture which plays out against the backdrop of its Baroque buildings and boulevards.
Known locally as simply Cluj, the city boasts a large number of historic attractions most notably the buildings found in Union Square. In particular the 14th Century St. Michael’s Church that looms over the square, which is one of the most striking examples of Gothic architecture found in Romania. Visitors take flights to Cluj to marvel at its medieval frescoes and the 50 foot neo-Gothic tower which was added almost half a millennia later. Also found close by is the Baroque Banffey Palace, the Franciscan Monastery and Luliu Maniu Street, famed for its eclectic architecture. Cluj-Napoca offers an impressive portfolio of museums and galleries, many of which will deepen the visitors’ understanding of the city, most notably the Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania. For something more unusual, try the unique Pharmaceutical Museum or The Dungeon, a haunting attraction you have to work your own way out of. Travellers who book a flight to Cluj in search of some rest and relaxation should look no further than the Botanical Gardens, where visitors can enjoy a quiet retreat in the Roman or Japanese gardens. By evening the city comes alive with theatre, opera and music. The most notable venue is the National Theatre, a jewel in Cluj’s architectural crown.
