Brasov - The heart of Transylvania

by HORSCHECK - last update: Mar 14, 2008

Brasov Town Hall Square (Piata Sfatului)

In the autumn of 2007 we visited Romania for one week, 4 days of this were spent in Brasov (German: Kronstadt). It is situated at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains and surrounded on three sides by mountains.

Brasov's history dates back to the 13th century. Due to its location at the intersection of medieval trade routes the city is home to many historic sights and architectural gems. Among them is the well preserved old city with its several churches and interesting buildings.

We also used Brasov as a base to explore some surrounding places like the skiiing resort Poiania Brasov, the so called Dracula castle in Bran and the restored peasant fortress in Rasnov.

Pros:"Many historic sights and architectural gems."
Cons:"Risk of grey or rainy weather due to the surrounding mountains."
In A Nutshell:"The heart of Transylvania."

 Excellent page here, Holger -- one of the best that I've seen thus far on VT. I would especially like to see Bran Dracula's Castle and taste the local Romanian beers. Cheers, Bill
