In 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.
Posted: January 26, 2024Brasov is the 7th largest city in Romania, and the most visited. And the great thing about it is that is quite safe to explore. Brasov has a very low crime rate. As a woman who are living here, i can confirm that its perfectly safe, even if you are walking by night. What i would recommand is that instead of taxi use Uber or Bolt (usually taxi drivers take more money if thay see that you are tourists, but in general Bolt and Uber its cheaper and safer). There are also a lot of beggars, but just ignore tham
