11 Stunning Views That Prove You Should Visit Brasov Over Bucharest
In the heart of Romania, at the foot of the Carpathian mountains, Brasov is surrounded by marvellous landscapes. The charming city lures travellers from all around the world with its majestic citadel’s walls, the monumental Black Church, which is the largest between Istanbul in Turkey and Vienna in Austria, its picturesque streets and squares, adorned with colourful houses. But what is truly amazing, are the views that you can get once you ascend to higher ground, on top of the hills and mountains that circle the city.
