I just forgot to tell you a h...Nice photos again!<br /><br /><br />I just forgot to tell you a hint - in Cluj, the best (in my opinion) place to stay is the Cetățuia Pension, on Cetățuia Hill. On this hill is a well-known hotel - Belvedere - which is expensive and bad (old building) but near it is this pension which is cheap (it costed me 100 lei in 2011, now might be cheaper), very clean and has a big terrace with a wonderfull panorama over the city. The only problem is that is a quite long way down to the city, like a 20 minutes walk and there are no buses there. Here are my photos from that pension:<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/carpathianland/7040962569<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/carpathianland/6894866214<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />On the way to Cluj, you will pass through many fine places that can be photographed from train, like the Bucegi Mountains that can be seen from Sinaia and Bușteni (the road between Predeal and Brașov is fine too, although less photogenic). The castle of Rupea might be seen from train too, I think. The railroad between Rupea and Sighisoara (which doesn't follow the car road) is one of my favorites, passing through time forgotten, derelict (former) Saxon villages and once cultivated hills, now invaded by wild vegetation.<br /><br />In Cluj don't forget to visit the Corvin House, the Reformed Calvin Church, the Franciscan Monastery. In the center of the main square (near the Catholic church of St. Michael, the city's main landmark) is an archaeological area (the Roman city of Napoca) protected by glass, like the one you saw near the National Bank on Lipscani. Also, if you have time, the National History Museum is interesting.<br /><br />Andrei Știrbuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02280722666246887029noreply@blogger.com
