The Black Church

My trip to Brașov, Romania, was an unforgettable experience. Getting there from the capital, Bucharest, was quick and easy — the train ride was comfortable and scenic. Once in Brașov, I explored the charming old town with its colorful buildings, the Black Church, and the lively Council Square. I also took the cable car up to Tâmpa Mountain for a stunning view over the city. One of the highlights was spending an afternoon at Parc Aventura — a fun and challenging place with zip lines and rope courses in the forest. After all the excitement, I had a delicious traditional Romanian meal at Sergiana, a cozy and popular restaurant. Brașov is a perfect mix of history, nature, and adventure, and it's a destination you simply can’t miss when visiting Romania.
