(21 February 2026)
Cluj-Napoca (in German Klausenburg, in Hungarian Kolozsvár) is (probably*) the second largest city in Romania and the capital of Cluj County in Transylvania.
https://welcome-to-romania.com | https://urlaub-in-rumänien.de
Cluj-Napoca, with about 400,000 inhabitants, is the unofficial capital of the Transylvania region. The city has universities, a vibrant nightlife, and many buildings from the times of Hungarian and Saxon rule. Around the main square, Piata Unirii, are the Gothic St. Michael’s Church and an equestrian statue of King Matthias Corvinus, who lived in the 15th century. The baroque Banffy Palace is now a museum displaying Romanian art.
Cluj-Napoca has an international airport and is located in northwestern Romania.
* It could also be Iasi or Timisoara or ... !? Unfortunately, there are no exact figures.
We thank the city of Cluj-Napoca for allowing us to use these pictures.

INFO ROMANIA | Parking in Romanian Cities
(11 February 2026)
X
(11 February 2026)
Many travelers drive to Romania with their own car or rent one at the airport and ... some may feel a bit overwhelmed by parking situations in certain cities. So here are a few tips.
**First of all, don’t copy the creative parking habits of some locals**. Cars can be **towed quickly** (especially in fire zones, in front of hospitals, intersections, pedestrian crossings, etc.), and recovering them requires **cash payment** – but first, you need to find out where your car was taken, which can be a long process 🙈.
# Stress-free parking in Brăila 🥰
Brăila, located in southeastern Romania, has about 150,000 residents. **Parking is always available and completely free, even in the city center**.
# The neighboring city, Galați ... a bit more complicated 😅
Galați, with around 300,000 residents, has **many paid parking zones** (not only downtown). Parking is charged **Monday-Saturday, 08:00-20:00**, and can be paid at parking meters or via SMS (Romanian phone number required). **IMPORTANT**: If you don’t pay, you may quickly find a **wheel clamp** 😅. The unlocking fee is **200-300 Lei (40-60 Euros)** depending on the time of day.
# Brașov – parking requires patience
Finding a parking spot **near the center of Brașov is difficult at any time**. Many streets are one-way, and it takes time to locate an available space. **Parking is charged (Monday-Saturday, 08:00-20:00)** and can be paid at meters, via SMS (per hour, multiple SMS needed – Romanian number required), or via an app (24h tickets available). Paid parking applies citywide, so always check the signs.
# Timișoara, European Capital of Culture 2023 ... going high-tech 😁
Paid parking in the city center is monitored using a **special camera-equipped vehicle** that scans parked cars and checks payment records in real-time. We’re not sure how it works exactly, but … we suspect fines are issued automatically.
# Bucharest … no words 🙈
Parking in Bucharest means **either at the hotel or 20 km outside the city** 😁. The **traffic is intense**, and the **driving style is reminiscent of Italian movies**. Most areas, including downtown, require **paid parking** (via meter, SMS – Romanian number needed, or app). Finding a spot in the **Old Town is extremely difficult**, and private parking can cost up to **300 Lei (60 Euros) for 24h**. **Our advice**: book a hotel with free parking and use taxis, Uber, or public transport instead. It's worth it!
# Small towns & rural areas
Parking here is usually **free and easy** 😊, but check signs near tourist attractions.
# Ignoring a parking fine? 😅
Not a good idea! Most cities **clamp the front wheel** (yellow or orange). The release fee depends on the time of day. **Better pay for parking in advance** – it’s cheaper!
Any parking experiences in Romania? Share your comments!
# And a reminder: RO Vignette
Driving on **Romanian highways and national roads** requires a vignette (Rovinieta). Buy it online **up to a month before your trip**: [https://www.roviniete.ro/de/](https://www.roviniete.ro/de/). Prices:
- 3 Euros / 7 days
- 7 Euros / 30 days
- 13 Euros / 90 days
- 28 Euros / 1 year
Rental cars usually have it included, but double-check.
Safe travels & stress-free parking! 🚗😊

Cluj-Napoca (German: Klausenburg, Hungarian: Kolozsvar) is (probably*) the second largest city in Romania and the capital of Cluj County in Transylvania.
Cluj-Napoca, with about 400,000 inhabitants, is considered the unofficial capital of the Transylvania region. The city has universities, a vibrant nightlife, and many buildings from the times of Hungarian and Saxon rule. Around the main square, Piata Unirii, are the Gothic St. Michael’s Church and an equestrian statue of King Matthias Corvinus, who lived in the 15th century. The baroque Banffy Palace is now a museum displaying Romanian art.
Cluj-Napoca has an international airport and is located in the northwest of Romania.
* It could also be Iasi, Timisoara or Constanta. Unfortunately, there are no exact figures.
We thank the city of Cluj-Napoca for granting permission to use these pictures.

Around 140 years ago, Timișoara / Temeswar already proved its uniqueness as a city in Europe.
On 12 November 1884, nearly 60 kilometers of streets in the city center of Timișoara were electrically illuminated with 731 lamps*. At that time, it was a record in Europe and the second place in the world after New York.
* The number of lamps and kilometers are based on various sources with the same statement found online.
** Of course, the lamps were smaller than the one shown in the picture. This lamp was placed only as a reminder and is no longer used for lighting in Timișoara.

Timisoara, always beautiful, and if you are there, you should take the time to enjoy a delicious coffee or hot chocolate with our probably biggest fan (pictured) 🥰
He calls Take Five Coffee / Bazara, Strada Lucian Blaga 5, parallel to the street with the umbrellas, right in the center of Timisoara, his home and was happy to pose for a photo with us.
The small café, located in the heart of the city yet on the first quiet side street, is always worth a visit. And besides many delicious drinks, you might also be lucky enough to get a copy of our current Timisoara brochure there (as long as stocks last).
Of course, you can also find the brochure online:
