Central Park in early Spring. The park is very big, and has a nice lake. It's a lovely place where you can rest after sightseeing in the city centre. Lots of big, fat crows, instead of the usual pigeons... and monuments remembering the fight against Ceausescu's regime. https://worldlings.wordpress.com/2016/04/27/transylvania-cluj-napoca/
