Brasov – the jewel of the crown
Named Kronstadt by the medieval Germans that settled it, Brasov deserves its fame of City of the Crown. Although one of the largest cities of Romania, it surprises with its quaint Old City area and its meandering narrow streets. Make sure you walk the Rope Street; you sit in a wooden bench at the First Romanian School, admire the horse parade at Junii Brasovului or eat a pork knuckle with horseradish sauce at the Christmas Market.
Harman Saxon fortified church, one of the most beautiful in the area, is 15 minutes away by car, while a short drive up the mountain will get you to Poiana Brasov, a prime ski resort of Romania. There are some posh hotels, a selection of restaurants where you can try wild game specialties. Several cable cars and chair lifts take you to the peaks for hikes, walks or just breathtaking views over the Carpathian Mountains.
