"Brasov is one of Romania's most visited cities-- and for good reason. Piata Sfatului, the central square, is the finest in the country, lined with baroque facades and pleasant outdoor cafes. Within easy reach by bus and train are the ski resorts of Sinaia and Poiana Brasov, the castles of Bran and Risnov, and the trails that lead into the dramatic Bucegi Mountains.

A Charming medieval town flanked by verdant hills on both sides, Brasov started out as a German mercantile colony named Kronstadt. Located at the border of three principalities it became a major medieval trading centre. The Saxons built ornate churches and townhouses, protected by a massive wall that still remains. The Romanians lived in Scheii, just outside the walls to the south-west."

Peles Palance, Siania

Located in the Prahova Valley at the foot of Bucegi Mountains, 44km from Brasov, Pelse Castles was a former summer residence of the Hohenzollern Royal House.

It is now one of most important museums in Romania, a final resting place for several Romanian monarchs including King Carol I, who died here in 1914.

Started in 1873 under Viennese architect Wilhem Doderer, it was inaugurated in October 7, 1883. Styled in German Renaissance, with elements of Gothic, German Baroque, and French Rococo style, surrounded by terraces decorated with statues, the castle contains more than 160 rooms.

Bran Castle

Located between Bucegi and Piatra Caiului Mountains on the Transylvania Alps, 20km from Brasov, the castle is famous as Dracula's Castle although Vlad Tepes lived in the castle only for a short time and only as a guest.
