Brasov

Having settled into our campsite at Camping Vampire in Bran and had a couple of days relaxing we set off today for a city tour of Brasov.

Brasov is known as the Crown City because its cultural centre and its monuments and architecture.

The main focal point of the town is the main square which has beautiful buildings surrounding it.

 



The History museum (The old Council House)

 

 

 The Orthodox Cathedral

and in the south corner stands the Black Church.

 



 

After picking up a tourist map and taking a quick coffee break we set off in earnest.

First stop St Catherines gate.

 

 

Next stop down to St Nicholas church with its pretty towers.

 

 

We then passed the Synagogue and Rope street (The narrowest street in the Old Town)and headed up to the Promenade which overlooks the city walls.

 

 

Along the walk we passed the Weavers Bastion and then to the cable car to take us to the Panorama.

 

 

Just a few of the lovely buildings in this peaceful city.

 

 

Hollywood style sign.

 

 

 

The Tourist Office

 



A strangely wonky door.

 



 

The Citadel is in the top left corner of this picture 

Its as near as we got as someone refused to climb any more steps.

 

The Black and the White Towers

 

 

 

 

A little back lane.

 



 

A Great day out, thoroughly recommended
