Transportation in Cluj

# Transportation in Cluj Cluj-Napoca, Romania's second-largest city, offers several practical transportation options for getting around. The city operates a public transport network of buses and trolleybuses that covers most areas visitors need to reach. Taxis and ride-hailing services are widely available throughout the city center and residential areas. For those who prefer flexibility, car rentals can be arranged, though parking in the historic center can be limited. First-time visitors should know that Cluj is a relatively compact city where many central attractions are walkable. The public transport system uses a ticket-based system that you'll need to validate on board. English signage varies, so having your destination written down or using a navigation app is helpful. The city center around Piața Unirii is pedestrian-friendly, making it easy to explore on foot once you arrive. **Getting from Cluj-Napoca International Airport:** The airport is located approximately 9 km from the city center.
