Bus

Cluj’s bus situation changes frequently. Have your guesthouse or hotel call ahead to check times/locations. At research time, daily bus services from Autogară 2 (Autogară Beta; 455 249) included the following: two daily buses to Braşov (€8), four to Bucharest (€12), five to Budapest (€18), one to Chişinau (€20), one to Iaşi (€12 to €15) and three to Sibiu (€5.70, three hours); they are useful as there’s often tricky connections if going by train. There’s also a handful of buses to Bistriţa (€2.90, 2½ hours). The station is 350m northwest of the train station (take the overpass). Note: there is no Autogară 1.

From a parking lot on Piaţa Mihai Viteazul, two companies run seven daily buses to Turda (€1.20) till about 8.30pm.

From Piaţa Unirii microbuses go via Oradea to Budapest’s Ferihegy 2 Airport (€10, six or seven hours).
