        \u201eSimion B\u0103rnu\u021biu<\/em>\u201d<\/em> Central Park <\/em><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Simion Barnutiu Central Park was opened in 1830 and was initially called \u201ePeople\u2019s Park\u201d. However, nowdays, residents of Cluj call it \u201eThe Great Park\u201d. After all these years, the park still remains one of the main recreation places in Cluj-Napoca.<\/p>\n

        You can spend a whole day in the park without getting bored. If you are an active person, you can play basketball on the specially arranged court (day and night, the court is equipped with nocturnal lights). You could also take a ride on lake Chios with a pedal-operated bicycle. However, if you are just looking for a relaxing evening, you can stroll around the park admiring the nature and the statues of Liviu Rebreanu and George Cosbuc. Why not have a picnic dinner or a fancy dinner at the Chios Social Lounge restaurant, overlooking the marvelous lake?<\/p>\n

        The park is also known for hosting the biggest music festival in Romania, Untold, plus other smaller festivals, such as Jazz in the Park, Cluj Days, Wine Festival, Street Food and so on.<\/p>\n

        No matter the season, the park is the ideal place for a relaxing retreat surrounded by nature, right in the middle of the city, a few steps away from the hustle and bustle of urban life.<\/p>\n

          Cet\u0103\u021buia Hill <\/em><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          As part of the Habsburg\u2019s control over the city, the fortress was built between 1715 and 1735. Later on, it was used as a prison for two hundred years and mostly used after the Revolution of 1848.<\/p>\n

          Situated on a hill at an altitude of 405m, tourists visit the place not only for its history, but for the breathtaking landscape. The panorama, the astounding sunsets or sunrises admired from here really transform this place into a \u201cmust-see\u201d attraction. This is most certainly why there are always people (tourists or residents) wandering around the stony steps of this old fortress. So, if you are traveling with your loved one and what a romantic evening walk, the Cet\u0103\u021buie Hill is the perfect location.<\/p>\n
