Brasov. Romania's Best City? First time in Transylvania 🇷🇴
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 мар 2020
- Welcome to Brasov, Romania. This week we’ve made our way north of Bucharest to the Transylvania area of Romania to one of the most beautiful cities in the country called Brașov.
We start things off in a park just outside the old city walls. Our intention was take the Tampa Cable Car to the very top overlooking the entire city, but it is unfortunately closed on Monday (at least in low season).
We then headed back into the old town directly to the main town square and also checked out the very nearby church - definitely the most recognizable in the city, the Black Church. We walked around outside but didn’t go in, mainly because it cost money and they don’t allow any type of photography or video inside. Afterwards we bought a chimney cake or Kürtőskalács at a kiosk in the square.
Not far from the main square you’ll find a very narrow street (thought to be one of the narrowest streets in Europe) called Strada Sforii or Rope Street. There’s lots of graffiti and people have signed their names on the walls.
After this, we found a synagogue (Beth Israel) while walking, and because we couldn’t go into the church we decided to give it a visit.
Lastly we made our way back to the walls (but on the other side of town from the beginning of the video, where we came upon a gate called Catherine’s Gate, outside the gate was a fantastic walking trail with a stream running alongside it. We eventually found some steps that led upwards and gave us a great view over the whole city.

guys, if u get back in bucharest, i d love to show you around next time! much love
Love Romania so much! Such a beautiful country with so much to explore! Great video guys!
Cheers Chris. This country is now one of our favs. There really is so much to explore - Anna
Hi Chris! I couldn't find Romania in your playlists 🤔
Well that place is BEAUTIFUL. Never thought I'd want to go to Romania. Man. That sticky cinnamon thing is fascinating. Cool music. Again BEAUTIFUL.
Steve Romania is a gem. Everything about it so far as been great. The food, wine... the scenery. It's also very affordable - Trevor
Try the one with nuts, it s delicious, local here ;)
its called kurtos kolak is a traditional magyarian delight and you can find it almost everywhere
@@LatinSlav Unfortunately most of the times you can find it only on holidays/street festivals/etc, not on a regular basis. I live in Timisoara and I couldn't find anywhere to buy kurtos on a regular day.
this vlog brought me back to july 2017 when i was in romania... was in brasov for a couple days and i went up to the top of the cable car and the view was insane!!
It's quite the charming little place right? We really adore it - Anna
Maybe you come back someday for other trip😉
MY home town, damm you made me start crying. Wonderful for you guys that you enjoyed the city so much. LOVE from Sydney.
Glad you enjoyed it! Your hometown is beautiful - Anna
I've been wanting to go to Romania... But now I really really do. It's such a darling little town. Love your videos btw
Thank you Kerri. Romania has been sweeping us off of our feet honestly. You should put it high on your travel list - Anna
Great video! Brasov is a really beautiful city and so are the other Transylvanian cities: Sibiu and Sighisoara-make sure you visit them too. I 've been to all three of them, and I can't wait to see Tirgu Mures, Oradea and Timisoara as well. Romania is an amazingly beautiful country, the most beautiful among all European countries I 've been to, and I 've been to quite a few!
Beautiful!!! Thanks for escape! “Oh Europe!” 💕
We all need a little escape right now don't we? Europe is the best. Put Romania on your list - Trevor
U guys are amazing. I ve been in all the places you visited in Romania but after a few hours spent on you channel this morning i got to apreciate more my country and definitely planing to visit again this summer. Thank you for your videos and "La revedere" from Romania
Bravo! Glad you enjoyed visiting Romania, the only latin- speaking country in the eastern part of Europe!
We so enjoyed Romania. It really has everything we love - Anna
Andr3i M Moldova’s official language is also neo-latin. 😅
@@_o..o_1871 they speak Romanian too!
Andr3i M You said that Romania is the only neo-lating speaking country in Eastern Europe and I proved you that this is false. Moldova’s official language (Romanian) is neo-latin, so this means that there are 2 Romance speaking countries in Eastern Europe.
@@_o..o_1871 Romanian, spoken also in Moldova, is the most Latin language in the world. There, I fixed it.
Hello from Brasov . Nice video about my hometown .
I'm glad you enjoyed my beautiful hometown! 💕
Awesome! I just visited Brasov right before the pandemic broke out. We must have been around Romania the same time. Great vid! Binge watching your Romania series.
Oh no way! What a great little city right? We have a few more videos to put out on Romania still. We're just not sure when that will happen yet - Trevor
When we stayed in Brasov we went up in the cable car to the very top and the views were amazing. We decided to walk down and we saw big black bears nearby which was a bit unnerving. This area is also a ski resort in the winter. From our hotel balcony these brown bears woukd cone right up to the hotel as guest would throw bread down to them.
Woh.. black bears that close to town! I'm sure they are looking for food but that would freak us out as well 😳- Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers They are brown bears, there's no black bears in Romania. And yeah, here in Brasov it's pretty common to have bears in the middle of the town. It quite pisses me off, cause I also would like to hike around the forests surrounding the city, but because of the huge bear population, I'm quite hesitant. Romania has the largest bear population in Europe (except Russia, but most of Russia is in Asia anyways). And Romania is not even such a big country, plus not all of it it's forest area. In some mountain villages, bears even break into people's houses and steal their food lol 😂. Anyway, congratulations for the video, I'm happy you liked my town.
6,000-6,300 brown bears, only in Romania according to data from 2014. But unfortunately in Romania, more and more forests are being cut down, and even cut in secular forests that should be protected areas, so the bears do not he has enough food and goes down to the cities.
It is a beautiful country but it is stolen, systematically plundered by the Romanian political class for 30 years now. we are still led by fixed communists with the same Bolshevik mentality.
Our 1st wk in Romania was at the seaside resort of Mamia, which we found a little bit too touristic for us, but our 2Nd wk was in the beautiful Poina Brasov whiched we absolutely loved. The air was so fresh and clean, and my Asthma just went away, which was different too our first wk that nearly ruined our holiday.!! We noticed that the Russians were doing manouvers in the Carpathian mountains and they even got on our coach and put the blinds down so we couldn't use out cameras. Anyway, that was years ago when Chechesku was the Romanian leader, who was not popular at all. Excuse my spelling please. Locals would stop us and try to buy out good and leather from us, as they couldn't get luxuries etc.
I am from Brasov and miss it a lot!
Sint tot ardeleanca m am nascut in jud Cluj dar orasul meu preferat ramine Brasovul
You are making a good job, guys. Greetings from Bucharest!.
Thank you very much! It's so cool you've been following along. Bucharest was amazing - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers Discover Transylvania! The best place in the world!
well done guys, that is so eerily beautiful! can't wait to see the rest with images of Vlad's castle (I hope)!!
Taki there's so much coming on Vlad's castle and that area in general. What a place! - Trevor
Castle Bran in the village of Ham. They say that a lady could leave her bag out all night and it would still be the in the morning as the punishment that Vlad would carry out would be horrendous. Thieves would 'be suspended on chains hanging over a metal spike than when the thief was lowered the spike would enter his rectum and pass though his body and through his head. Hence he was named....Vlad the Impailer.

Min. 8:51 - Brașov is not "a little town", it has over 291,000 inhabitants = c. 1/2 of Vancouver.
Thanks so much for this video! I was supposed to be in Brasov this week...but, of course no traveling right now. So this is the next best thing. From your video I see that it is as charming as I hoped it would be. Makes me look forward to getting there - some day!!
You'll love it once you eventually get there. It's so charming - Anna
Haha, what a great video! I giggled everytime you said "what a cute little town", because Braşov is actually the biggest city in Romania xD and the most beautiful as well. What you showed in this video didn't encounter even half of the city center. And I think that's pretty cool. I'm so glad that you liked it. Maybe you'll come back sometime after this whole madness, and you'll get to see more of the city, beside the city center. There are lots of amazing places in Braşov that you should definitely see!
We'd luv to get back there someday. Brasov was one of the highlights of the country for us 😃 - Trevor
Brasov is the 6th biggest city in Romania, it has only 300k population, while Bucharest has more than 2 million, how can you say Brasov is the biggest, lol.
@@RaduRadonys I said the biggest, not the most populated. Braşov is the biggest by area
@@Alessia-et6ez Well, when people refer to how big a city is, they mostly refer to how much population it has. Like in 99.99% of cases.
@@RaduRadonys well, somebody has to be that 0.01%. And I actually did mention about how they referred at the city as a "cute little town", so Idk how you managed to get it wrong, but anyway :)) have a nice day
Brasov looks really similar to towns in the Czech Republic, but maybe all historic Eyropean towns look similar.
yep, old european towns are not that different from eachother
Well, Transylvania and the Czech Republic were in the same empire for more than 200 years. And before that there's plenty of German influence in both. So Europe, but France, Spain or Italy look more different than the Czech Republic.
Wow, I've just discovered your videos. It looks like you've been to all the cities I love. Being from Brasov, of course it is my love. Thank you for these videos. I miss Romania, and I was ready to buy a plane ticket to go visit my family last summer, when the quarantine started. My plans had to be postponed sine diae. No worries, I am fine, just a bit home sick.
Great video!
Let's get a update from our Delightful Travelers reporting. Hello we have seen another fantastic video of your travels and your admiration for your fans shows the best of your talent to bring high quality video's to your fans. Thank you so much for sharing this with those that enjoy your prestigous channel. Until next time thanks.
Awe thank you 🤗We appreciate that and we're just happy you're enjoying the videos. We love making them - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers your welcome and plz be careful with what is going around the world.
Brasov is the most beautiful city from Ro for sure,i hope you like it,greetings from Ro😘
It really is! We love this little city. It's so nice - Anna
What a cute town! Looks like one from old times movies :) Stay safe with all this outbreak craziness guys!
Thanks! You too! This town is totally like a movie set. It's a little hidden gem in Europe - Anna
Saw myself in the video :)) it is amazing
Correction, guys- right at the start Anna says "look how cute and charming this town is". Brasov is a city, it is one of the biggest in Romania, with almost 300k inhabitants. In Canada, we call city anything over 100k...sometimes even less, haha.
This seems to be such an interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
You had to visit the Peles Castle , the city of Sibiu , the transfagarasan road (one of the most beautiful roads in the world) , Turda salt mine and the Castel of Hunedoara
Thanks for visiting my country and i hope you will be back in Romania
Great tips.. we'll look those places up. We've got more videos on Romania coming soon X - Trevor
Just returned from Brasov, lovely place.
Right? It was such a charming little city. - Anna
I hope you enjoyed your trip to brasov. I hope that the Romanians can be your hosts again. :)
Loved it! We still have more Romanian videos coming don't worry 🤗- Anna
Have you been to Sibiu or/and Sighișoara? The architecture in those places is just amazing. 😍😍😍
Sighisoara is on our radar! hmmm 🤔- Trevor
@Samael seconded, sighisoara is the most beautiful town in romania, imo.
@@im_so_bored3896 Yes, because it was built by Saxons and Hungarians, just like every other city of Transylvania. :)
@@balazsnagy8215 no, it was lived in and governed by the Saxons and magyars but built on the blood, sweat and work of the Romanian peasantry, who were enslaved in a feudal system of cultural and de facto segregation, being forced to endure cultural genocide, religious oppression and uncountable acts of cruelty. just like the brits did to Ireland 😘, and just like the Irish, we endured! so give it a rest mate, empire times are over and we Romanians survived, sad for you i know. must suck to desperately try to erase a population over more than 400 yrs of brutal rule and *still* fail. and let this comment serve as proof that it is ALWAYS the hungarians who start shit in the comment section with romanians. i swear to god a romanian person cannot post a simple, innocuous comment with out some hungarian feeling the need to be different shades of aggressive.
and a alight bit of anecdotal evidence on my side as to the nature and hatred of hungarians towards romanians: when i was a 8 yo kid my grandma's hungarian neighbor stole out family cat and killed it, and left it in our yard on a shovel for me and my 7 y o sister to discover and then threatened us that next time it would be us dead on a shovel.
@@im_so_bored3896 I mean...you said it yourself. It's anecdotal so it doesn't mean anything. And stop it with the Romanian peasantry, every nation in Transylvania had opressed peasantry. The Saxons and the Hungarians weren't all nobles, they too built those cities. And stop it with the Irish, we had it much better, especially after the Austrians took over. Ireland is a country which has a lower population than in the 18th century and its language is spoken by fewer people than speak English as a first language over there. So no, it's offensive to the Irish to compare our treatment to what they went through.
Omg, this is my town...... I miss it.
Thank you for visiting our country. Hope you enjoy it and comeback whenever you want. And please try shaorma.
Hey guys, found you're channel from Jumping Places. Good content and commentary, keep up the good work!
Welcome aboard! We have a lot more on the way as well. - Trevor
My father is from Romania. It’s truly a beautiful country with lots of different scenery. He is from a village on the south west part, near Serbia. I’ve never had the chance to get to central Romania in those beautiful areas but that’s okay, I’ll get there one day. My grandma would never let me visit because of the evil creatures there.. she was scared I’d go and get turned evil, come back and make her that way 😂😂 ohhhhhhh my haha she didn’t understand the western allure to Transylvania. Thanks for sharing this video of a beautiful spot that I do wish had more of a tourism industry for their citizens to have more work.
Romania is such a beautiful country indeed. It's so underrated and we can't believe how untouched it seems to be - Anna
Kurtos Kalacs is a typical Hungarian pastry that's kinda popular across most of central Europe. Kurtos Kalacs literally translates as Funnel Cake.🙂
I grew up in Eastern Romania and we don’t typically have them there. No Hungarian influence there.
Wrong. Is not hungarian. Is szekels. From "Szekely Land" wich Next county north from Brașov.
Bravo !
Thanks for watching! - Trevor
Wow I would love to see that church myself thank you for sharing
It's amazing... the whole town is really charming. It's a must visit I would say - Trevor
Olá,meus lindinhos. Com que graça descrevem tudo.Sabia que amo vocês? Continuem assim ,pois é muito bom ver lugares lindos, mesmo que a distância. Beijão para vocês.
Tambem amamos
We're so happy you're loving the videos Fatima. We have a few more beautiful spots to show you in this country yet. Next up is Dracula's Castle. Get ready 😃- Anna
My birth town
should've took the 45 minutes walk to the "Brasov" sign...the view from there is BREATHTAKING!!!
FELICITĂRI 🌹🌹
U need to try on summer or winter it's so cool😁
the walk up to tampa is not steep at all guys, it's the easiest walk ever, the path starts after the cable car building. it's not the steep incline of the cable car path. it's a bit windy.
my beautiful home town...
Brasov is our best City in Romania
Good to know! We have a few more videos to come out on Romania yet - Anna
Guys, go to Cluj Napoca at Salina Turda , one of the most beautiful salt mine in the world!
We're going to need a whole lot more time haha - Trevor
0:40 Okay Trevor, you said that sentence in a conditional way? For me, Zamość is the perfect city. At least it meets the concept of an ideal Renaissance city. It is a pity that this year is the beginning of bad times. I had such beautiful plans. After all, I wish you health and a safe return home.
It really is so sad about the current situation. We have quite a few videos filmed so we'll still be releasing videos as long as we can - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellersUnfortunately, the biggest financial crisis awaits us since 1929.People don't realize what happened and this is just the beginning.
In April I want to fly to the USA, and in August to Uzbekistan. I know that I won't go abroad anywhere this year. In an emergency, you can show Halifax, Nova Scotia, Bay of Fundy.
I know you're in El Nido. It's hard with the internet and sometimes there is no electricity. For me, the most overrated place I have been to. On the other hand, I know you like the beach, so you probably have different feelings. Stay healthy and save money.
Haha... So a beautiful ”little town”, you say. Well, its not actually a town at all, let aside the ”little”... Its a city and a municipium, meaning its the largest and the capital city of that shire/county of Brașov(out of 41 counties/shires), and the city of Brașov has a population of around 300K, so its not a town, but funny(in both ways), for some Canadians/Australians landed in that corner of Europe ;) LOL
This "Beautiful little town Brasov" has over 300.000 people in it and metropolitan area, and over 500.000 in Brasov county, in total. :) You have only visited the Old City Center, Brasov city has 16-20 km on its wider sides.
When are you guys going to do the Carribbean
Like st Kitts ,st Lucia ,st Vincent ,Grenada ,Antigua ,Dominica ,Trinidad and Tobago ,Jamaica ,the grenadines ,British Virgin Islands ,Cayman islands ,Bahamas ,Barbados etc
Not anytime soon with all this happening. However we have videos on St Kitts, Nevis and Dominica though :) - Trevor
I’m from Brasov
Come in Cluj-Napoca ;)
We've been there in our last Romanian video 😃- Trevor
Forta Brasovenii🔝 cine e Brasovean like
You should hike up the mountain, retezat
Next time! - Anna
Who else came from the live stream last week?
We didn't have a live stream last week 😃- Anna
🤔 early this week maybe. When you guys said you ganna put some travel videos up especially Romina
💙💙💙💙💙💛💛💛💛💛❤❤❤❤❤
Inspiration for my next trip (Now delayed for "a while")... :)
45 minutes is bit of a hike, ehh... ;)
Funnel style bread is Kürtőskalács / Trdelník from the Székelyföld / Transylvania region...
Now tourist fodder... (hence little substantive flavour).

Delightful Travellers Thanks I’m glad to be here, You two are lovely 😊 people! Stay safe!
Imagine if that cinnamon thing was filled with icing....
OMG.. drooling right now 😋- Anna
They placed Dracula in these places probably because all inspires a deep mystery, you wonder all the time, hmm, what's beyond that wall? Do I need garlic, just in case?:)))
The more Dracula the better right? 😅- Anna
The unknown drives us, for sure. That's why you travel too, isn't it? Dracula is about stories and the human nature more than is about a dark country, or connections with what's beyond us. We wait for the food you've found there, if it has a different taste than the one before, if it's more specific.
Nice, but to much commercial on youtube!
Is that Dracula's home town?🤔
Kurtos Kolacs is hungarian not romanian :D but very goood!
Try romanian ppl it will be a great exp...
5:16 that’s a ......Hungarian food......
It's a ghost town all over the world with corona virus. I'm afraid for you 2. be safe.

John Smith good times are over. I'm afraid that's just the beginning of bad news. And I was supposed to be in Florida and Georgia next month. I thought I had another year to crisis. I wish everyone health.
I mean for god sake. This city is not even close to the architecture of Bucharest. Where the hell are buildings like Athenum Roman? The Museum of Enescu? Buildings like ones at Lascar Catargiu? Where are the houses like ones at Dacia Boulevard? Where are all the gorgeous orthodox churches? Not a single boulevard in Brasov is as impressive as Calea Victoriei. Just because this city does not have any socialist arichecture does not make any prettier than Bucharest. Even the city of Constanta has more beautiful buildings than Brasov. Jesus Chris, people need to get their priorities straight.
Dude, come on!
At least is not as dirty as Bucuresti!
Bucharest is ugly. It may have some nice buildings, but overall is dirty and full of graffiti. Not to mention the infernal traffic.
Bucharest is a dump. Even some of the buildings still have war damage from the bombs. Morter shell holes cover some buildings that have never been repaired. After passing through this dump we was all glad when we arrived in Brasov, like another world.
Brasso is in Transylvania, Transylvania is NOT Romania!!!!
