Cluj’s Christmas Market wraps the grand Union Square in lights, with St Michael’s Church and the pastel façades of the old town providing a postcard backdrop.
Chalet stalls focus on local makers and comfort food—think chimney cakes, sausages and warming cups of mulled wine—while an ice rink and carousel keep younger visitors happy. Everything is compact and walkable, so you can dip in between coffee stops and museum visits, or linger for the evening concerts that animate the square. For city views, head up to Cetățuia Park before dusk and return as the lights glow over the market. Cluj’s airport and rail station make it an easy weekend destination, especially when twinned with nearby Turda Gorge or Alba Iulia.
