Brasov, one of Romania's greatest cities
Reviews > Europe > Romania > Brasov > Brasov, one of Romania's greatest cities
by After seeing the castles we went back to visit Brasov one of the biggest cities in Romania.
After finding a place to park our car (without paying a fee:)) we went to see the city center and the famous Black Church. I've already been there once so I knew the way and we didn't get lost:) Unfortunately we arrived at about 6 PM and the Church had been opened only till 5 o'clock (when I was there last it wasn't opened too because it was Sunday...this is my luck...). But we made some pictures of it and went further.
Brasov has a big and very clean square in the center. I liked it very much because there were lot of doves walking around.
From the square we had a beautiful view of the mountains. And there was a funny thing, too: on one of the hills was a Brasov sign, you know, like in Hollywood:)
We couldn't spend too much time in this city because we had to find a place to sleep for that night, but I think we saw the best part of it:)

Brasov History
Located in the centre of Romania, Brasov is one of the greenest and most visited cities in the country. The main gateway towards the natural attractions and luxurious ski resorts along Prahova Valley, Brasov offers the curious tourists a living example of tenacity and courage. Archeological discoveries have revealed that the area around Brasov was inhabited 60 000 years ago. Brasov is first mentioned by official documents in 1235, under the name “Corona”.
