The previous weekend (4-6th of June), before the heat wave hit us here, we went for a short trip to a beautiful mountain area: Brasov.
Situated in the middle of the country, it's taking about 5 hours by train to reach it but it's worth it, no matter the outside season.
Like usual, we went to the old part of the city, where Piata Sfatului reigns, surrounded by all sorts of hundreds-old buildings (like Biserica Neagra) intertwined with a couple of new age constructions.
Everywhere you'd turn you'll find a coffee shop, beer garden, outdoor restaurant, etc. This concentrated diversity tends to look at a certain point like a single entity but it is nevertheless charming.
Lucky as we are, our second night there we got to listen to free jazz (as there was an international festivity) and the third day we witnessed a folk festival, gathering costumes and folk music from all parts of Romania.
I'm sure I've skipped a ton of stuff worth telling but, maybe when the Golden Stag will be held there in September, I'll watch TV and remember to update this post :D
