"The Transylvanian jewelry" Brasov by mirchica

Brasov Travel Guide: 645 reviews and 1,774 photos

Impressions

I haven't travelled much in Transylvania and I'm not sure which part is more beautiful and which one is more like a jewelry. I loved Cluj but I felt Brasov closer to my heart. We'll see what will offer me Sibiu when I visit it, I've heard that it is the most beautiful city in Romania...but let's face on Brasov now!

Itineraries

When I was searching information about Brasov, I run accross this wiki itinerary and I found it really useful. I didn't visit all the places mentioned but we added other places in our trip - http://wikitravel.org/en/Brasov_cultural_itinerary

To make it easy for future travelers I wrote down in my blog the things we did during the 4 day trip Plovdiv - Brasov - http://mytipsfortrips.blogspot.com/2011/12/pre-christmas-in-brasov-i.html

And of course I wanna thank to Codrutz and Petruta for their tips and help

We plan to go to the euromeet in Sibiu next year. We're thinking to stay perhaps a week and make a tour around . It seems to be a nice place: mountains and culture : we like it . Thanks to share . :-)

Fabulous page about Brasov here. We also liked the city a lot and we took side trips to Poiana Brasov, Bran and Rasnov; with Rasnov being our favourite spot.

Yes, Mira, very nice page about Brasov! And, ofc, I would also come to that small VT meet that Codrut suggested, which could be as well in Sibiu :D
I'm just sad it wasn't possible during your visit in december. We'll talk about next trips! Hugs.
