Shopping in Transylvania

  1. Market

    It's worth visiting the market on Wednesday and Saturday when Roma and villagers from outlying regions come into town on their horse-drawn wagons to sell their wares.The daily market has a good selection of fruits, vegetables and cheese.

  2. Romanian Folk Art

    Cluj's best shop for traditional items around Romania, this alley shop offers painted eggs, embroidered dresses and tablecloths, colourful masks and hats, and other pieces. Prices are a little lower than some shops, and quality's high.

    Himalaya

    A great sports store with ski and hiking boots, sleeping bags, rock-climbing gear - pretty much whatever you forgot. Staff double as knowledgeable guides and they can sell you trail maps and point you to good DIY ones too.
