RE: Blue sky - Friday photo challenge
For historical places and nice fortifications, you should see Sighisoara (a small medieval city) which is not far from Cluj, around 150km away, Alba-Iulia(another fortified city) and Corvin Castle. You might want to go to Sibiu which was the European Capital of Culture in 2007. Bran Castle(also known as Dracula's Castle) is located in Bran(around 300 km away from Cluj). If you wanna see Bran Castle, you could look for accommodation either in Bran, either in Brasov (another picturesque city). For hiking, Prahova valley is the most popular - Azuga is one of the small cities from this valley.
Thank younfor the answers :) at what time of the year is it best to go
Is there any good place for swimming, nearby a lake or something? :)
There is a place at 155 km away from Cluj, called Baile Felix - I haven't been there, but the location is famous for the thermal waters. They have also a new aquapark.
The prices are good - of course, it depends where you want to stay as the major hotel groups have similar prices to the ones in Western Europe, but if you pick a B&B, it will be cheaper. Food is also great and cheap. You should try the traditional dishes.
Thank you very much :) I bear it mind, maybe going there during the year
You're welcome :) I will post more about Transylvania in the near future, so you will get an idea about the best places to go to
Good, will follow :)
And final question, how is the pricelevel here? :)
