If you will choose to enjoy a driving experience in order to arrive to CLUJ-NAPOCA, then these are the main itineraries that will get you here and also a few tips for the road:

On Romanian territory we would recommend the following gas stations: Shell, Mol, OMV, Petrom. You will be able to locate them in every Romanian city mentioned bellow.

Also on the Romanian roads there are a few things that you will have to pay attention to:
 
  Farm animals that may often appear on the side of the road and are very
     unpredictable;
Wagons that are not always properly lit and move with a very low speed;
Holes that may appear on the road especially in the cities;
Thieves who may take advantage of you leaving the car open in a gas
station or during a stop on the road.

The city's peculiar sea charm is sublime and moving. Ancient, medieval, renaissance and modern cultures mingle and coexist throughout the city. Apart from being a beach resort, Varna rivals the great cities of Sofia and Plovdiv, in its offering of cultural attractions and historical buildings, museums and art galleries.

If you chose the Constanta route, then you will also get a glimpse of the Romania Black Sea Coast. This is the main tourist area, considering the large number of Romanian and foreign tourists. The Romanian "Riviera", which is 50 km long, is made up of a continuous belt of 16 seaside resorts (some of them being also spas), out of which six are in high demand: Mamaia, Eforie Nord, Costinesti (the resort of the youth), Neptun (the favorite holiday place of former dictator Ceausescu), Olimp, Venus, 2 Mai, all of them built after 1960. Tourists can visit also the vestiges of the three colonies which were founded there by ancient Greeks in the seventh - sixth centuries BC: Histria to the north, Tomis in the centre (the present-day Constanta, which is the main Romanian sea port, boasting an imposing archaeological museum) and Callatis (the present-day Mangalia), and also the monument from Adamclisi (100 km west). Besides the ordinary cure factors, there are here natural lakes with therapeutic mud. Lake Techirghiol is most appreciated and several sanatoriums were built around it.
