RE: Brasov - A beautiful (and a bit overestimated) tourist destination in the heart of Transylvania, Romania

in #travel7 years ago

Sorry, but Brasov is awesome! Sure, it's not a big city, but it offers plenty of stuff to do. And there's a small mountain inside the city, and it's 10 minutes away from the Old Town, that has a large pedestrian area full of pubs and shit.

Sort:  

Being a big city person and not a mountain person sorry for not seeing the awesomeness there.
Plus, the pedestrian area you're referring to wasn't full of pubs - actually, on a Friday night only one -kinda shitty- was open and a few dodgy bars and that was all... then again winter, but still...

I'm not a mountain guy either. I hate climbing and shit, I'm a lazy fuck. But Brasov's old-timey vibe while still having huge streets and a modern side to it is just cool, if you ask me. Sure, there's bigger, more active cities out there, but it being quaint, while still having night-life options available is part of its charm

I just didn't like it. And I like old fashioned cities and abandoned places - imagine. Huge streets? No,didn't see that. I saw the Mall which was indeed huge and the new apartment buildings there which I liked - modern and all - but Andrei said it's a shitty area (of course, the only one I liked!) I'd rather live in Cluj - for sure. But no one cares what I want, right?

Lol what? Where did that last part come from? You do you, different strokes for different folks. I just think Brasov is pretty cool. Not in love with it, but still pretty cool. Much better than Bacau, in any case :p

I personally like Bacau because it reminds me of Athens a bit but I wouldn't tell it's more beautiful than anything else I've seen in Romania so far 'cause it would definitely be unfair :P

Bacau definitely isn't beautiful. It's clean enough I guess, but beautiful? Naaah

Now that you mention it, it IS clean !!! :D
And then... I'm an artist ... I go for the beauty of ugliness ;)
