        Highlights from Brasov, Romania: Brasov was my fa Highlights from Brasov, Romania: Brasov was my favorite of the three cities I visited in Romania due to its proximity to nature and medieval history. If you're considering a trip to Romania, I highly recommend putting Brasov on your itinerary! My top 5 highlights: ⛲️ Council Square: Located in the center of Brasov's Old Town, this square has been the key place for the city's weekly and annual markets since the 14th century. It's the best place to admire the historic center and still hosts markets. 🪧 Brasov Sign: The famous Brasov sign is nestled atop Mt. Tampa above the city. You can get there via a short gondola ride or fairly easy (but slippery after rain) hike for a spectacular view over the city and into the Carpathian Mountains. 🏛 White Tower: Located a short climb above the city opposite the Brasov sign is an old watchtower. The reason to visit is not for the tower itself but for the best view of the colorful old town. 🐻 Libearty Sanctuary: The world's largest brown bear sanctuary and also named one of the most ethical animal sanctuaries by National Geographic, it's located only 30-45 minutes outside Brasov and worth a visit to safely see bears and support their cause. 🏰 Bran Castle: Famous for its Dracula lore (though barely related to Dracula in reality), this castle is a must-visit for vampire lore, medieval history and post-WWI Romanian history. Where would you head first? . . . . . #VisitBrasov #VisitRomania #EasternEurope #EasternEuropeTravel #EuropeTravel #MedievalHistory

        If you're a history lover, pay attention to these If you're a history lover, pay attention to these signs when visiting Bucharest! All over the city, you'll see these black and white placards that say "Monument Istoric" posted on different structures. These signs indicate the building or structure is of historical significance. For example, the building here was the Romanit Palace, built in the early 19th century. I really appreciated that Bucharest had these historical markers. Otherwise, there are a ton of buildings I'd have walked past without even realizing they were historically significant to the city.
