Breakfast
Romania culture starts the day slow. Many "breakfast" restaurants don't even open until 10:30am. If you're looking for a full meal before then, head to...

One of the largest of Romania's fortified churches, The Black Church can't be missed. Plan to spend an hour exploring the various displays, artwork, and architecture in the church.

Biserica Neagra, The Black Church
@amyisgoingplaces
The fortified church Biserica Neagra, "The Black Church," dates from the medieval era. Visitors can tour the church grounds for free, visit the interior for a ticket price of 20 RON (less for students and children), and attend weekly concerts according to the season (prices vary by event). Displays inside chronicle the history of the building over the centuries, including renovations and expansions. You can see original paintings, Transylvanian rugs, religious artwork, and architectural masterpieces. It's a fascinating snapshot into the culture of Romania as a whole and Brasov in particular.
Tickets for entry may be purchased at the gift shop across from the church.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Amy Is Going Places
Available for hire
US native. Former resident of Romania. Current solo female globe trotter.
I've now traveled to Romania, Italy, England, Scotland, Wales, Canada, The Netherlands, South Africa, Greece, Israel, and numerous places around the USA. I've done group tours, volunteer work, solo travel, studied abroad, and taught internationally. I lived for over a year in Romania, many years in Tennessee, and several months in England.
My travel style is slow, spontaneous, and - shall we say - richly flavorful. I prefer to stay longer lengths in places instead of having a whirlwind sightseeing venture. I'll skip the chain restaurants for a hole-in-the-wall café any day of the week. I prefer a loose itinerary and remain open to what each day brings.
My favorite things to do and see as I travel are...
- EAT -
Try whatever is local. Order the special of the day. Talk with the restaurant staff.
- WALK -
It encourages me to slow down, notice, and get a feel for community.
- HIKE -
I'm a lazy hiker. By "hike," I mean a few hours at a slow pace.
- MUSEUMS -
Spend an afternoon. Read the descriptions on exhibits. Talk with the docents. Buy something in the giftshop.
- CHURCHES -
I'm fascinated by the various ways people have worshipped the God of the Bible over centuries and across borders. Many older churches are also museums or tourist-friendly spaces. Some additionally hold regular liturgical services.
- CASTLES -
Castles, fortresses, palaces, big ol' houses: these places transport me back in time. I imagine the people who built, lived in, and defended them. What would they think of how we now live?
If this kind of travel sounds ideal to you, follow me to easily access all the resources I've created. I'd love to help you experience slower, more meaningful travel. I have tips for how to make the most of your trip, with low stress, reasonable safety, affordability, and lots of fun. Book one of my custom services, and we'll work together to get you wheels up on your next adventure!
