• Negreni - Depart from Cluj at 8 a.m. for an exciting day trip to the Negreni flea market, a biannual tradition held in June and October. The autumn event spans a week, with Thursday being the highlight. Immerse yourself in the vibrant market, brimming with antiques, traditional crafts, and unique items that showcase Romania’s rich heritage.

The market’s origins are a topic of debate, with some attributing it to the Middle Ages and others to over a century ago. As the saying goes, “There’s nothing you can imagine that’s not for sale here – whether first-hand, second-hand, or over 100 years old.”

Covering more than 15,000 square feet, the market offers a wide array of items, from handicrafts and antiques to Communist-era memorabilia, blending the old with the new, the authentic with the kitsch. It’s truly a thrifter’s paradise!

As the largest antiques market in South-Eastern Europe, Negreni attracts collectors and traders from all over the continent. The lively atmosphere and extensive selection are best appreciated over several visits.

Be captivated by the energy, stunning displays, and cultural diversity. Once you’ve experienced Negreni, you’ll be eager to return every year.

Relax and savor a traditional Romanian lunch before returning to Cluj in the evening.
