Cruising through Cluj-Napoca (Romania)

Cluj-Napoca is the second most populous city in Romania after the national capital Bucharest, and is also commonly known as Cluj. The city is considered the unofficial capital to the historical province of Transylvania. Many of the locals here speak Hungarian as there are about 50,000 Hungarians in this part of Romania, making it home to the largest Hungarian community in the country.

The city bustles with students and workers as it is hub to the most important academic, cultural, industrial and business centres in Romania.
