Off to Cluj for 3 days in Oct. Looking forward to it, never been to Romania and like ticking off new countries.

Looking at the map, it doesn't seem too far to the Ukrainian border. Maybe a couple of hours. Never been to the Ukraine either. Is it doable? Do you need visas etc, as it's part of the former USSR? Anyone know if trains run from Cluj to the nearest town across the border?

Any any tips on Cluj, from anyone who's been.

My wife is Romanian so I go there often

Cluj is beautiful

Brasov is well worth a visit as well

If driving keep to speed limits in villages as the police like to take your dosh

Radar detectors are widely used

Trains are efficient if you get a rapid one (type of service) it's quicker

Pm me for more info if u want
