Pensiunea Warthe Brasov

I finally had the chance to get out of Pitesti for the first time! I went to Brasov, Romania with my roommates and Andra. We wouldn't be able to travel around if it wasn't for her because she speaks Romanian. Brasov is situated in the heart of Romania and It's considered the most beautiful town in Romania and it is surrounded by beautiful mountains and has the oldest traces of human activity and medieval architectures.<br><br>I'm telling ya, it was ...

You can take a walking tour of Brasov which includes: The Coucil Square and House - the old Cityhall of Brasov built in the XIIIth century The Muresianu House - a cultural museum with over 25ooo XIXth century documents and antique furniture, the place of Romanian political meetings The Catholic Cathedral - built in 1767, one o the few baroque buildings in Brasov The Baiulescu House - now the ...

... town about 2 hours north. Wandered through the old town trying to find a hostel. Finally found Rolling Stone hostel and checked in to a room. I was exhausted so I passed out early and woke up the next morning, but not before I met JP and Karl who I found out were also going to Oktoberfest. They informed me that they were going to rent a van and drive there which sounded like a fantastic idea, but unfortunately they already had a full car because they ...

... in town. How strange that they've latched on to Dracula and I've seen much, much better castles. At least the admission was only about six bucks. Bran was cute and the 40 minute bus ride took me through some lovely countryside. It was worth doing. On my return to Brasov I stopped at Rasnov and hiked up the hill to see the fortress which was mildly interesting. At the very least I had a nice walk and saw ...

... the castle once or so in his reign so i assume bran is named draculas castle as it looks similar to the books discription. vlad drac was born in a little town called sighisoara about 2.5 hours from brasov, so after the 40 minute trip each way out to bran i got the train there absolutely ****in knackered. id got sod all sleep on the night train so i was really goosed by this time but i had to go as it was a highlight and i dont intend to rush back to romania in a ...

... daughter lives in indiana and brought me photos of her and their grandchildren. Doesn't sound like much, but that took us about 20 mins to discuss. Their placemats have fruits and vegetables on them so then they taught me how to say the names of them in Romanian. One day I came home and he was in the garden so i started looking around at what he was doing. He showed me through all the fruit and veges that they grow. He pulled a fresh carrot out of the dirt and gave it to me ...

... pretty main square encircled by beautiful, pastel-colored 19th-century Habsburg buildings. The rainy weather made sightseeing less than ideal - and it was bloody cold too, being further into the mountains - but it was a vastly more attractive townscape than I'd wandered around the previous day. After shivering through the main sights, which I had to track down all on my own (there's no info on Târgu Secuiesc in my guidebook), I decided to stop in the town's museum on Piata Gábor ...

He Said: Yesterday afternoon we rode a train north out of Bucharest into the province of Transylvania. The city rapidly turned into flat farmland, which then quickly gave way to expansive forests, jagged peaks, and villages that looked like they could be Bavarian. We arrived in the town of Brasov in the late afternoon. It is a large city (population: 300,000) but has a really delightful and historic downtown, which is where we are staying. The town ...

... all doubt to the others that I am thoroughly incapable of physical activity that requires balance or coordination!!! On Sunday we toured the rest of Brasov which only took a couple of hours even though we visited every landmark mentioned on the tourist maps including an arch, a tiny side street and a pile of stones. (I'm intrigued as to how long it will take us to visit other smaller towns because Brasov is considered one the biggest I think.) There were ...

... socially acceptable here) and more Translyvanian mythology. The main attractions nearby are Bran Castle (Dracul;a's castle) and Rasnov Castle. Brasov boasts a large square with a clocktower and a number of parks where everyone seems to congregate. We missed the last cable car to the ridge overlooking the town, so went to the main park to rollerblade. Or in my case, wobble, slide and fall over on my butt. Lots of old men gather in the park to play chess and carry on ...
