The Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania is situated in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. With a history of almost 100 years, the Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania is one of the first and greatest of its kind in Romania. It has two exhibition sections, one of which is to be found in downtown Reduta Palace, while the other exhibition section is the open-air Romulus Vuia Park situated on the city's north-west side, in Hoia Forest.

Parcul Etnografic "Romulus Vuia"
Displays village buildings in Transylvania region in 18 and 19 centuries in a 16-ha area park next to the city centre. Most are farmyards displaying a variety of used tools too. Highlights include high stretched cupolas churches with religions drawings within. Most buildings are closed but stalking through the windows are ok. Please allow one and a half hour for a visit.
Dealul Cetății
The Transylvania Hotel (also known to the locals as Belvedere) was built on top of the hill, and besides the great view offers a good restaurant as well. The hill can be climbed by stairs from the centre of the city. On the way you will also find a large iron cross monument. A walkway circles the crown of the hill just below the hotel, offering a nice view of the city. The fortress is a citadel-shaped earthen wall and an empty moat around the hotel area.
Biserica Calvaria
A small Benedictine abbey surrounded by defensive walls, Calvaria Church was built starting in the 9–10th centuries.
Parcul Central
A welcome break from the rush of the city. The middle of the park hosts a small lake and the Chios Casino, from the terrace of which you can rent rowboats and hydrobicycles to circle the small island in the centre of the lake.
Cazinoul Vechi
In the Central Park, built at the end of the 19th century, restored in 2012.
Biserica cu Cocoș
Designed by the famous architect Kós Károly.
