Anyone here been there? It is a suggested destination for an annual early December 4 day beer drinking week-end in Eastern Europe. Done Prague, Krakow, Budapest, Talinn, Riga, Wroclaw. Trying to get an idea how it compares to these places. Trip Adviser not been a great help so far.

    I spend alot of time in Romania...they don't really do drinking so I would say it would be disappointing. Cluj is ok though..Romania is a crazed place; a country of extremes - the good, bad and the down right ugly

    [quote][cite]Posted By: ShootersHillGuru[/cite]Hi kafka,
    Thanks for your reply. When you say Cluj is ok what exactly do you mean. Nice old town ? Enough. To see and do ? Any views very welcome.[/quote]

    It's a typical Romanian town...bit of the old; bit of communist hangover; bit of the new. If your going to Romania as a tourist; Bucharest is worth 24 hours; Sibiu is stunning and the Danube is worth travelling time. The people really embrace everything Western and are upset by their bad international reputation. I have a love/hate relationship with the country but get 50% of my business from there.
