Ski Romania
Whisper it, but this could be the season that Romania finally becomes a decent skiing destination. The country’s two biggest resorts - Poiana Brasov and Sinaia - have both spent big money over the past year investing in new lifts and slopes.... -

Where to find Brasov In Your Pocket
The indispensible Brasov In Your Pocket Mini-Guide can be found at a number of prime locations in and around Brasov....
Brasov In Your Pocket
And this doesn’t just go for Bucharest. It goes for Cluj, Iasi, Timisoara, Oradea and just about every other Romanian metropolis: each, in their own way, have certain things to offer, but let’s face it, they’re not Brasov, are they?
Indeed, few cities in Europe have the charm of Brasov. And this year, more than any other, the city is radiant. The Old Town appears to have been hermetically sealed from the modern part of the city, a timeless reminder of a Romania long since gone.
Indeed, Brasov is everything that Bucharest isn't: a placid, gentle, civilised city of 290,000 people nestled in the Carpathian mountains. A fabulous base for exploring the surrounding countryside, the air is clean, the people friendly, and the prices a pittance of those in the capital.
You'll love Brasov. In Your Pocket does.
You can download our Brasov Mini-Guide here.
When in Brasov, make sure you pick up a guide at one of our many distribution points.
For an aerial view of Brasov and its surroundings, try this video here.
And if your next stop after Brasov is lovely Sibiu, then we now have that city covered too.

One of Eastern Europe’s best preserved fortified churches lies 16km northeast of Brasov. Surrounding a cross-shaped church (originally built by the Teutonic knights) are walls 12m high and 4m thick that protected the church and Prejmer’s inhabitants during times of war, when each family would retreat into its own room.

The view is not the best but this is a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy the experience....Capitol
I loved Capitol. The nice but not too modern bathroom didn't matter anymore when I looked out the window and realized this is probably the only hotel in town that offers you the entire view of the center AND Tampa....Active Travel
I went on a one day trek summer 2011 with a friend which was fantastic. We were only in Brasov for a short while and gave very short notice....Butoiul Sasului
Unfortunately we decided to have out last meal in Brasov at Butoiul Sasului. I regularly eat out at restaurants and have dined all over the world but without a doubt this was the worst meal i've ever had....Old Center Bistro
este un restaurant frumos cu un bogat sortiment de mancare in totdeaunea proaspat si gustos. daca mai viu la brasov voi veni la acelasi loc....Kasho Club
It's nice, indeed. Big venue, young and well-dressed crowd, cool events. Worthy for a night ...Zoo
You think this is bad? Check out Craiova Zoo! Lions, tigers, brown bears, jaguars and more all sitting in tiny cages, some no bigger than a linen closet; rancid meat and faeces stink out the entire exhibit....Zoo
sorry to differ with the author but the Brazov zoo is heinous, from its smell to its living conditions....Old Center Bistro
It was a wonderful restaurant I ever been. Good foods, nice staffs, good cost. If I am able to been to Brasov again, I must be go to Old Center Bistro again....Coroana
This hotel is in a very good location, right in the middle of the old town, and in a pedestrian precinct....Gustari
Yes, it's cheap but the portion sizes seem to have shrunk over the last couple of years. They're also doing the old trick of ripping off customers by charging you for a larger portion than shown on the menu....
