TRANSPORTATION
Cluj-Napoca can be reached by plane, train, bus or car.
By plane
Cluj-Napoca Avram Iancu International Airport (website) offers connections with several major cities of
Europe and the World. However, there might be particular cases when it is more convenient to fly to Cluj-
Napoca via Bucharest (see Henri Coanda airport website) or via Budapest (see Budapest airport website).
The Cluj-Napoca Airport has public transport (bus, trolley) and taxi stations. Taxis from the airport take
you to Cluj-Napoca city centre in about 20 minutes and to the Symposium Venue in about 15 minutes.
By train
Cluj-Napoca has rail connections with every major city in Romania and in Europe, however for long
distances this option proves slow and less comfortable. The main railway station is placed close to the
centre of Cluj-Napoca. More detailed information on the railway options is available on
www.raileurope.com, Google Maps, and for the Romanian railway system and timetable on
http://www.mersultrenurilorcfr.ro/imtif/rute.aspx?lng=en).
