Quick ride by bicycle from Cluj-Napoca to Floreşti

This scenic cycling route starts in the vibrant heart of Cluj-Napoca, a university city known for its lively atmosphere, historical architecture, and thriving café culture. You’ll head west for about 16 kilometers toward Floreşti, a fast-growing suburb that’s become a favorite for young families and commuters working in Cluj.

The ride is mostly on paved surfaces (with a solid helping of smooth asphalt), and much of the journey follows quiet roads and designated cycleways, so you can relax and enjoy the rolling landscape. Expect some gentle climbs—the total ascent is about 155 meters—but nothing too challenging.

You’ll skirt the edge of city life before easing into Floreşti’s blend of modern developments and green spaces. Watch for a little pebblestone and paving stone under your wheels in spots, but overall, it’s a comfortable ride.

Whether you’re heading out for a morning commute, a weekend adventure, or just to explore new neighborhoods, this route offers a pleasant transition from the buzz of Cluj-Napoca to the laid-back vibe of Floreşti. Don’t forget to stop for a coffee at one of the local cafés along the way!
