Cluj-Napoca is presented by the French press as one of the European destinations suitable for a September trip, for tourists who want to avoid the congestion typical of major tourist centers. The publication Nord Littoral included the Transylvanian city in an article dedicated to alternatives to destinations affected by overtourism, a phenomenon that occurs when the large number of visitors puts pressure on infrastructure, services, environment and the lives of residents.

According to the French source, Cluj-Napoca ranked first in a top created by Skyscanner for destinations sought by travelers who want to avoid this phenomenon. The city is noted for its heritage, the green hills in the surrounding area and the active cultural offer even after the end of the peak tourist season.

The recommendation comes in a context where more and more European destinations are seeking solutions to manage large tourist flows, and off-season travel is promoted as an alternative to summer vacations.

For a Cluj native living abroad, such international recognition shows that his native city remains attractive not only through its dynamism, but also through the peace it can offer visitors, unlike the congested major European capitals.
