Hi, I,m Silvia and I live in the beautiful city of Brasov (Transilvania region) from Romania. I’m a childfree by choice “crazy cat lady” interested in (solo) traveling, books, history, culture, food, sightseeing, live music, architecture and meeting new people. Life is a journey, not a destination, so don’t forget to enjoy every moment of it!

I love Brasov for a city break. Its a city full of nature and it’s just what you need to have a relaxing time. You can also hike there to peak Tâmpa. It is an easy hike but if you go in the winter you should have winter shoes because it’s slippery. Very fresh air, very beautiful views. The is amazing. I recommend “ Dei Frati” restaurant they have amazing pasta but you need a reservation as it’s almost always full. You can take the bus from there and go to Poiana Brasov for skiing. It’s a cheap drive like 1 euro . Have fun!!
Posted: January 24, 2025Experienced: January, 2025In Romania, we were staying in Bucharest with my volunteer colleagues but we did day trips to Brasov several times because we like it a lot. Instead of sitting at the restaurant at the square we chose to go around and find smaller places which we end up liking. I don’t remember the names but I also suggest you to do so to escape from the expensive prices. Before going to Brasov you can also check if there’s any events going on because there’s something going on in most of the time there. As activities, you should go the “Dracula’s Castle” of course but transport to there is a bit tricky if you’re traveling in a group it would be the best to take Bolt/Uber. I haven’t tried it but the cable car 🚠 also seemed cool and my friends said they enjoyed it. Also don’t forget to check AirBnb for accommodation we stayed in one and it was in this quiet neighborhood out of the center which was so nice. It’d be so good for a winter vacation. Overall, Brasov seems to be very isolated and small which is its charm. Local people are so nice you can just come up to them and talk most of them speak good English.
