The legend of the castle of Deva, Romania
Reviews > Europe > Romania > Deva > The legend of the castle of Deva
by The first place we stopped at was Deva. In Romania everyone knows the story of Deva's castle. The legend says that a woman was walled up into the walls of the building to make it remain standing because before that every night the part of the castle they built that day till morning collapsed.
The castle can be seen from far away, it stands on a hill, at the boundaries of the city. We got on the top of the hill with a modern 'elevator' on a very steep rail.
The view was amazing, the castle was pretty nice, but it was ruined, so the guys in the past hadn't done a good job even if they had killed that poor woman...

Piatra Neamt Nightlife
Unlike any other European cities, Piatra Neamt Nightlife is closely related to the season and time of the week. If you go there in spring or summer, then there are high chances that most of the clubs and bars are full no matter if it is Monday or Saturday. If you get to Piatra Neamt in autumn or winter, then you will find most of the bars closed, but you will find the alternative of the nearby mountains pretty attractive. Some famous places where you can spend the time of your life are: Central Club, where the party starts one hour before midnight and lasts till dawn.
