14 hectares with more than 10,000 flowers and plants from all over the world: this is what awaits you in the Botanical Garden of Cluj, also known as the Alexandru Borza Cluj – Napoca University Botanic Garden. Borza is actually one of the founders of the garden.
Entrance is 10 lei (a bit more than €2,-). As soon as you enter the garden, you are greeted by colourful flowers.
Lars and I quickly found our favorite corner, the stunning Japanese garden. We sat there for quite some time, soaking up the peaceful atmosphere.
I know that these paths look empty, but the Botanical Garden is actually a very popular destination. Go as early as possible.
Don’t have a lot of time? Make sure not to miss the greenhouses.
Back outside… More and more people were now in the garden. And it seems that brides and grooms like to have their pictures taken here as well. Lars and I went back to the entrance.
This was truly a little corner of paradise in Cluj. Later this week we show you what else you can visit in this town.
