What to Expect

    Join me in a unique walking tour outside Brasov German Citadel, specially designed for you to feel and explore the picturesque Old Romanian neighbourhood where the Romanians have been living for centuries. Let's have a walk together in this less known area of Brasov with a more rural appearance, many small houses, narrow streets and green gardens, just at the foot of Tâmpa mountain. You will find out the history of "Troițe", crosses erected in stone or wood in front of houses or at crossroads, testimonies of the Orthodox tradition of Brașov and about the very old tradition of "Juni", the Youth of Brașov and their horse parade, unique in Romania, some of the most important symbols of this old Romanian settlement. I am here if you feel like having a nice walk in an authentical place, far from the crowds. A true hidden gem that even the locals overlook and most tourists never see! The perfect tour if you want to understand the real history and culture of the Romanian people!
