Cluj-Napoca Christmas Market Vlog | Family Travel Tips + Market Highlights

Описание: Welcome to Cluj-Napoca — the unofficial capital of Transylvania and home to one of Romania’s most festive Christmas markets!

This stop on our Romanian Christmas Market Road Trip brought us to Cluj’s beautiful Piata Unirii Christmas Market, right in the heart of the city. Though our visit was shorter than planned (thanks to some very chilly weather and a tired little traveler!), we still managed to capture the cozy magic and vibrant spirit of this winter wonderland.

From the sparkling lights around St. Michael’s Church to the scent of mulled wine and chimney cakes in the air, the Cluj Christmas Market is full of charm and warmth — even on the coldest days. It’s the perfect spot to stroll, grab a hot drink, and enjoy Romania’s festive traditions with family and friends.

For a detailed market guide — including tips, must-try treats, and what to see nearby — check out the full blog post linked below!

Because sometimes, travel with kids doesn’t go as planned… and that’s totally okay. These are the moments that make the journey real, memorable, and all the more special. ❤️

Family Travel Tips & Advice
1. Dress in layers! Cluj in December can be very cold, especially in the evenings.
2. Stop for a hot cup of vin fiert (mulled wine) or ciocolată caldă (hot chocolate) to warm up.
3. Visit at sunset — the lights around the square are magical against the winter sky.
4. Traveling with kids? Keep plans flexible. Sometimes, a shorter visit makes for a happier adventure!
