Romania · DAY TRIPS IN CLUJ-NAPOCA
Good day trips in Cluj-Napoca fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes, and how they differ once you look past the photos.
Small-group day trip from Cluj covering Salina Turda salt mine, Turda Gorge hikes, Rimetea village, and a monastery stop.
“Unforgettable day trip with Tudor. The attractions were perfectly arranged, compact but not rushed. He has a really good understanding of culture and history behind all the spots, hot and talkative,as well as a good hike leader. It was great to learn about Cluj with him.”
Full-day trip from Cluj: Turda Salt Mine underground theme park, a Turda Gorge hike, and Rimetea village with the Archangels monastery.
“Tudor is a great guide. He loves what he is doing and you can feel it! the day was perfect, first the salt mine (amazing), then the trekking and then the lovely lunch in Remetea Village and then the Monastery. I really enjoyed my day, we were a small group (which I prefer instead of the big ones). Super recommended the tour and Tudor!”
A full day from Cluj-Napoca to Salina Turda salt mine, Rimetea village, and Colțesti fortress ruins, with guide and included mine entry.
“The salt mine was a good experience, bring a vest, it is cool. I really liked hiking up to the fortress. Lunch in the village was nice. We made an extra stop at a small nunnery and at the gorge for those who were interested in zip lining. The group was only 4 and the guide went out of his way to make it a nice tour.”
A long, well paced day trip from Cluj-Napoca to Sibiu, a fortified Saxon church, and glass icon art, plus tuica tastings.
“Although I wasn't able to do the specific tour I initially booked due to logistics, I was fortunate enough to join another incredible tour that covered a large part of the German heritage in the region. It was both informative and fun! Our guide, Andrei, was passionate, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. You'll not only learn a lot but also share plenty of laughs along the way. Highly recommend this tour, it’s an experience you won’t forget!”
Steam through the Vaser Valley and explore Maramureș wooden villages on a 10-hour Cluj day trip, with train tickets included.
“La experiencia del tren a vapor es preciosa con el paisaje. El tour ponía un conductor de habla inglesa y nuestro conductor no sabía inglés.”
Zipline over Turda Gorge at up to 100 km/h, then hike the karst canyon trails for 9 km from Cluj-Napoca, with snacks included.
“I had a great one on one hiking trip with Tudor. He picked me up, drove us there, orginized everything and lead the way on the hike. He was a very nice guide, always offering help on the slippery path when needed, very attentive, considered and kind. We also had a nice balance of talking with each other and just silently walking for ourselves. The different views are stunning and very diverse as well! All in all 10 out of 10 would book again and recommend! it was one of the best days I spend in Transylvania! thanks tudor! :)”
