If you plan to visit Romania in the cold season, you will certainly be tempted ti choose Brașov and its surroundings as your holiday destination. Durring your stay, I recommend to make a reservation at the restaurant “Stâna Turistică Sergiana”, near Poiana Brașov. The reservation is needed because there are many people, in particular foreign tourists, standing in line just to enter the restaurant. You can call a taxi from Brasov city to Poiana Brașov which is at a distance of 13 km, a 20 mins ride. I hope you enjoy your stay! ❤️🇹🇩#2023travelwish #mytripvlog #foodie #romania

What better place to be at in the spirit of Halloween than to visit Bran’s Castle, also known as Dracula’s castle in Transylvania, Romania? The name came about as the author of the horror novel Dracula, Bram Stoker, set this castle as Count Dracula’s residence in the story. The interesting thing is that he never actually visited this castle but the castle came from his own imagination based on the picture of Bran Castle that he had seen. While the name itself may sound intimidating, it is actually not that scary in real life. In fact, the castle itself was occupied by a royal family, before being acquired as a private museum for both locals and tourists alike. This castle is actually very popular, and it was crowded when I was there. The souvenir shops outside the castle are selling Halloween themed souvenirs that look more intimidating such as shirts with black cat motifs. #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers

Getting There - The app flight updates were about 20 minutes later than everyone else's dispute the fact I had the web page up and the app open. Luckily our flight was t cancelled with WizAir but sure to their reviews, they didn't leave on time but left 2 hours late. We got there eventually but wouldn't recommend the airline if you want to get somewhere on time and don't mind missing a few hours of your holiday... Attractions - Go to Brasov! it's wonderful and much better than the touristy places such as Bucharest. Check out the mountain trails and roads and see the old WW2 castles, forts and Dracula's castle! it's worth the journey! Hotels - No point, go and do an AirBnB! ours was immaculate and right in the town for less than a hotel. We even had a whole apartment. Food & Restaurants - Seek out Ma Goscote or at least try some local 'traditional' cuisine. Be prepared to go into a food coma though. Shopping - Again, go to Brasov! The malls/Shopping centres there are immaculate and will provide you and even the kids with a day's worth of entertainment. Arcades, cinemas, restaurants, shops, classy shops and some adventure attractions await. #brasov

[Travel around Eastern Europe] Vampire Castle train into the layers of the mountains of Transylvania, the weather becomes gloomy. When it arrived at Bran Castles, it was overcast and it seemed to be a good day for vampires to go out. This is the castle inhabited by the Count of Dracula in the novel, and in fact the archetype of Vampire's archetype, Vlad, is associated with the castle for a few months when he was imprisoned as a combat prisoner. The original owner of the castle was the Romanian royal family. After the death of Queen Mary, she was passed to Princess Ileana. Socialist Romania overthrew the royal family to confiscate the castle, and the princess family went into exile in the United States. In 1989, the new government came to power. Ten years later, the castle was finally returned to the descendants of Princess Ileana. The legend of the vampire made Bran Castle the most popular castle in Romania, but it is hard to feel the atmosphere of Count Dracula here. It is a sigh of excitement in the historical torrent of the castle owner's royal family.

Romania is like a magical book steeped in time, with the folds of the Carpathian Mountains hiding a symphony of medieval legends and natural fantasies. The first stop is Bran Castle, where the gloomy mist of the Dracula legend is pierced by the morning light, and the Gothic spires are bathed in a bronze glow, revealing an epic grandeur. Driving through Transylvania, the sea of clouds rolls like the pages of an epic, and suddenly you come across the wooden churches of Maramureș - the "breathing wood" on the World Heritage List, where villagers still light beeswax candles under the painted lintels, weaving their faith into the rings of the years. The lagoons of the Danube Delta are another surprise. A canoe glides through the maze of reeds, startling a flock of pink flamingos across the sky, while fishermen use reed-woven nets to catch the sunset glow. The "eye houses" of Sibiu have been watching the square for centuries, and in the sound of the organ in the Black Church of Brașov, the light spots cast by the stained glass windows dance with the aroma of coffee. The taste buds awaken at the country market: venison stew in clay pots overflowing with the aroma of juniper berries, smoked sheep's cheese served with homemade plum brandy, and even sauerkraut soup wrapped in the wind of the Carpathians. The most unforgettable is the shepherd in the Bihor Mountains, who hands you a piece of warm cornbread, the scent of lanolin on his fingers, and behind him is the tinkling poetry of cowbells on the hills. As you leave, you realize that the magic of this land lies in its fusion of mystery and simplicity - the vampire legends and the smiles of the mountain people, the Gothic shadows and the pastoral idyll, like the Transylvanian rose, blooming gently among the thorns.

I’ve been to some pretty grand palaces, castles and stately homes in my time and nothing I’ve seen comes close to Peles Castle in so many ways. The lavishness of the rooms the sumptuousness of the decorations, the stained glass, the woodwork, the metal work, it’s just incredible. Although it’s called a castle it really is in actuality an exquisite palace.Many tall groups come here and just spend 45 minutes having a lightning tour, I spent three hours and still could’ve stayed longer. Peles Castle can be easily reached from Brasov or Bucharest by train. If you’re visiting Romania in 2025, I cannot recommendPeles Castle enough, you just have to go! #getgoing2025 #pelescastle #sinaia #romania

The Jewell of Transylvania, Brasov may not been high up on most people’s list for European city breaks but its lack of fame may actually be a good thing leaving visitors free to explore without the usual crowd of tourists. The city is a perfectly preserved piece of history representing a lost grandeur that was once commonplace in Romania. Highlights in the city include the historic centre and the world’s narrowest street #romania #transylvania #voyagevibes

Day 8 of road trip. Day view of Brasov looks busy on a weekday with many people and cars on the streets. Instead of traffic lights there are countless roundabouts in Romania and they are all very confusing to me (in my memory there is only 1 roundabout in Singapore). The buildings have a very unique traditional look and many are very instaworthy. Overall Romania is a very nice place and it feels quite safe to walk around at night.

Day 7 of road trip. Took a 5 hours drive from Bulgaria to Romania Brasov. Was initially quite worried about crossing the border as this is my first time on a self drive trip across countries in Europe. Luckily it was a breeze. Cost was 4 Lev, payable by credit card. Remember to ensure you have the car documentations ready (green card / car registration / license). Not much time left today took a casual walk around Council Square and had dinner at a restaurant name Massimo. Food is fantastic!
