Private Tour of Cluj Itinerary

The private tour begins at Unirii Square, where you will meet at the equestrian statue of Matthias Corvinus. This square features the iconic St Michael's Church, the second largest church in Transylvania, notable for its tower reaching over 260 feet (80 m). Your guide will explain the significance of the tower's height.

Nearby is Banffy Castle, an 18th-century Baroque palace home to the National Art Museum, where you can explore its collection of Romanian art. The tour continues to Strada Iuliu Maniu, known as "mirror street." At the end of this street, you will find two landmarks: the Orthodox Dormition of the Theotokos Cathedral, blending Renaissance and Byzantine styles, and the Neo-baroque National Theatre. After this, the tour concludes at Unirii Square with a visit to the Pharmacy Museum to learn about Cluj's pharmaceutical history.

The tour lasts four hours, ending at the starting point.
