With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Alba Iulia, 30 miles away, has to offer. Alba Lulia Citadel, Catholic Cathedral and Sala Unirii alone justify the drive. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Cluj County, 40 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Hoia Baciu Forest. (But we’re also big fans of Statue of Matthias Corvinus and National History Museum of Transylvania.)
