Day 14 of your relaxed road trip in Romania is your departure day. If you have a flight to catch, you’ll drop off your rental car well in advance before your departure. Choose a late flight to enjoy a stress-free last day in Cluj Napoca.
On your last day in Romania, take time to indulge in shopping at Cluj Napoca’s popular marketplace, Iulius Mall Cluj. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip.
Unwind and look back at the past 14 days of your relaxed road trip over a bite to eat. This is your chance to enjoy one last traditional meal in Cluj Napoca or just grab something light to keep you going.
Savor the flavors at Maimuța Plângătoare, a top pick for dinner tonight. Alternatively, Restaurant Shanghai beckons with its unique menu offerings.
Give yourself enough time to wave goodbye to Cluj Napoca and begin your journey home. The unforgettable experiences you’ve collected along your 14-day relaxed road trip in Romania is a story you will tell for the rest of your life.
