Favorite thing: Perhaps this is the best place in Brasov and for sure this is making so different this city in the Romanian environment...
We have choosen to buy an apartment in this city because it is so different comparing with the other romanian cities.
Everything, from people and their behaviours to the architecture and environment... is making from Brasov a place where you may want to go always back.
Fondest memory: Quiet city with nice people and beautiful old buildings...
Lot of restaurants and lot of tourists filling them and enjoying romanian food.
Beautiful mountains around it and a lot of places to visit and explore....and not only this of course.

Favorite thing: If you want to go out in the forest and you don't have enough time for it... this is a place you can go. You will pass through the old City and it will be a good idea to look around for the old houses and the specific architecture.
Fondest memory: What I miss the most? Everything.

Favorite thing: Brasov is famous for manufacturing planes, tractors and trucks, not automobiles, but there are plenty of old classics around the streets. Mostly they are old Dacias, especially the Dacia 1300. These are basically copies of the old Renault 12. But I did spot a few like this, which I didn't recognise at first. They are Dacia 1100, based on an even older Renault 8 design. This Renault was never sold in the UK so it was completely new to me.
The other one pictured is a Dacia 1300, in the same shade of grey as my dad's old Renault 12 estate. This one has a more modern make-over than the old Renault ever saw.

Favorite thing: If you drive to Poiana Brasov, you have the possibility, on the way, to have a rest on the Panorama Platform, and to have a look, over the whole city.
From here, you can admire the old city, situated in the middle of a green valley, at the feet of the mountains.

The numerous parks an gardens of the city, the green hills and mountains that bordered the region, the many flowers and nature elements in the inside of it, make from Brasov a green place of safety.
