Why should visit Sibiu?

Romania is the land where all relief forms are tied harmoniously: from imposing mountains to the seaside of the Black Sea, from hills and abundantly plains to the Danube delta…not for nothing the country is called “The Land of Choice” in the new touristic slogan.

Although, for the moment, we don’t excel at the infrastucture chapter, any touristic activity will be taken again, because the Romanian tourism is focused pre-eminently above all, on the natural landscapes and amply history.

As a location where to spend your vacation, I would strongly recommend you Sibiu, maybe the well-known city of the country on international plan, thanks to the title of “international cultural capital”, achieved in 2007, beside Louxembourg. This is the indisputable proof  that our country can be proud, both on culture and tourism’s plan.

How to reach  the destination

In terms of transport to Sibiu, there are a lot of options. If you come from Romania or abroad, and you don’t want to waste your time on the road, you have the airplane option: Sibiu’s International Airport is located 5km West from the town, with direct access on the E81 highway.

Through it, direct links are ensured with intern airports ( Bucuresti, Targu Mures, Timisoara) and also international: Germany, Austria, Spain, Greece, Ukraine, Moldavia and Italy.

If you fall into the bohemian type and you are eager for a closer view of the landscape that our country has to offer you have train’s option, which will allow you to save some money and use them for other activities.

For those who cannot separate from the automobile, going by your own car (or a rented one, Rent a Car in Sibiu is very well developed, renting can be made abroad also) is a safe option. European roads passing through Sibiu are E 68 (Arad – Sibiu – Brasov) and E 81 (Cluj – Sibiu – Pitesti – Bucharest). Not even parking lots will be able to overshadow your stay thanks to the 80 locations equipped with a total of 5051 parking spaces.

Regarding housing, the supply is extremely varied, considering the fact that the tradition of hospitality in Sibiu is the oldest in Romania, the first hotel being certified since 1555. It remains up to you to choose the category (comfort level), framing (apartment, cottage, camping, pensions in Sibiu, hotels in Sibiu, motel or guesthouse) and location, and bids will not disappoint you.

In the “must see” category:

- the museums (Sibiu was the cultural capital with a reason): Brukenthal National Museum, Astra National Museum Complex, Evangelical Church Museum, Steam Locomotives Museum.

- Churches: The Orthodox Cathedral, The Evangelical Church, The Catholic Church, The Ursuline Church, The Franciscan Church, The Church of the pit, The Church Of the trees, The Reformed Church, Church of St. Johannis, St. Elizabeth, St. Luke’s Church, Church Asylum Cross Chapel, Synagogue;

-  the historic center: historical three markets: Large Square, Small Square, Huet Square, Defensive Towers, The walls of the Citadel;

- recreational areas: Sub Arini Park, Astra Park, Grove Nature Park, Sibiu Zoo (the first zoo in Romania), and for audiophiles is necessarily recommended concert of the  Philharmonic State of Sibiu.

Restaurant:

In terms of cuisine, traditional cuisine from this part of the country was influenced by German and Hungarian population. Therefore, in Sibiu are preferred poultry and beef soups with semolina or flour dumplings, homemade noodles, soups meal, cumin or tomatoes soups.

In Sibiu is located the oldest restaurant on the actual territory of Romania, “The Gold Barrel” which is located in the same building in the Stairs Passage since XVI century.

Sibiu offers many options for dining: from selected restaurants to fast food and pizza, it depends  only on the mood you are in.

You have only two things to set: the date and the way in which you want to travel, because Sibiu is eager of tourists to whom showing off his wealth.

Whether you are a fan of hiking or cultural trips or you are simply passing through, Sibiu will make you want to come back anytime!

Brasov, Romania

Imagine, if you can , that you are going to visit a place or a town in Romania but you are ot sure about what it is like. Related to this problem , I will give you a helping hand to find all the information you need.

Let’s say that you decide to visit Brasov for a week !

Now, let’s see what your options are concerning transport, food, accommodation in Brasov, sights places and entertainment .

The way to travel

First you must choose to travel. You can travel by own car but you should know that usually up in Brasov, you will take many hours of walking, or you can rent a car in Brasov with EuroCars Romania.

Or if you come with friends, rent a minibus driver, who will escape the worries of driving. You can also come by plane, landing in Bucharest Otopeni Airport, Bucharest Baneasa Airport and Sibiu Airport, and the best choice is to go to the airport by train in 3 hours and you’re in Brasov.
At the same time you can travel by train, but this seems a very tedious way.

Accommodation

Secondly, in Brasov you can easy find a place to stay over night.There are a lot of hotels in Brasov, flats, studios to rent or to host with a family.The old center of Brasov hostels are also a good option because at least gives you a breakfast.

As a suggestion we recommend you pre book a hotel room, so you will get rid of care and will enjoy visiting the city without wasting time.

So the food and the place where to stay is your last worry because in Brasov accommodation is not expensive and the conditions are good. I suggest you to host in a guest house or family hotel because you can establish a program without talk into account the meal hours. And you will never be hungry in town because the food specialities are very delicious and the prices are acceptable.

Point of interest

Thirdly, in our town I assure you that you will never feel bored because there are a lot of places to visit and a lot of entertainment everywere you look. You can spend your time visitng some touristical places, you can practice some sports in Poiana Brasov , you can visit Bran  and see Dracula Castel, The Black Church or you can simply have a walk in the old town and admire the buildings. You can take in a concert or go drink something in a pub.

And if the pictures have not convinced you, maybe you’ll be able to convince movie.

In conclusion, I hope I have helped you and you will come to visit Brasov because you have nothing to lose and it’s a perfect holiday place to go, and a week here is not expensive. In my opinion is the perfect place to spend fine because you have what to learn from such a trip.

Hope to see some pictures with you in Brasov!

Romania? Brasov?

Imagineaza-ti, daca ai putea, sa mergi sa vizitezi un loc sau un oras in Romania dar nu esti sigur daca iti vor placea  acele imprejurimi. Aflat in raport cu aceasta problema, iti voi oferi o mana de ajutor ca sa afli toate informatiile de care ai nevoie. Sa spunem ca te decizi sa vizitezi orasul Brasov  pentru un weekend.

Care ar fi  optiunile referitoare la transport, mancare, acomodarea locului de cazare si distracti?

Mijloc de transport

In primul rand  trebuie sa alegi cu ce calatoresti. Poti calatori cu propria masina dar ar trebui sa stii  ca de obicei pana in Brasov, iti vor lua multe ore de mers, sau poti inchiria o masina din Brasov de la compania noastra de rent a car.

Sau daca vei veni cu prietenii, inchirierea unui microbuz cu sofer din Brasov va va scapa de grijile condusului. Poti deasemenea sa vii cu avionul, aterizand la Bucuresti sau Sibiu, si cea mai buna alegere de la aeroport este sa mergi cu trenul, iar in 3 ore esti in Brasov.

In acelasi timp poti calatori cu trenul, dar aceasta cale pare una foarte obositoare.

Cazare

In al doilea rand, in Brasov poti foarte usor sa gasesti un loc unde sa dormi peste noapte. Aici sunt multe hoteluri, apartamente, studiouri de inchiriat sau in gazda la o familie. Pensiunile din centrul vechi al Brasovului sunt deasemenea o buna optiune deoarece iti ofera cel putin un mic dejun. Deci mancarea si locul de cazare este ultima problema la care sa te gandesti deoarece in Brasov adaptarea nu este scumpa, iar conditiile sunt bune. Iti sugerez sa mergi in gazda la o familie sau hotel deoarece aici poti stabili tu un program cand sa servesti masa. Dar in acest oras nu iti va fi foame deoarece specialitatile de mancarea sunt delicioase iar pretul este acceptabil.

Ca o sugestie iti recomandam sa rezervi dinainte o camera la un hotel din Brasov, astfel vei scapa de grija si te vei putea bucura de vizitarea orasului, fara a mai pierde timpul.

Obiective turistice

In al treilea rand, in acest oras te asigur ca nu te vei plictisi deoarece aici sunt multe locuri de vizitat si multa distractie oriunde ai merge. Deasemenea poti sa iti petreci timpul vizitand obiectivele turistice, poti sa practici sporturi in Poiana Brasov,sa vizitezi Branul si Castelul lui Dracula, Biserica Neagra. Sau pur si simplu te poti plimba in orasul vechi si sa admiri cladirile. In acelasi timp poti sa mergi la concerte sau sa mergi intr-un pub sa bei ceva.

Iar daca pozele nu te-au convins, poate va reusi filmuletul sa te convinga.

In concluzie, eu sper ca te-am ajutat, si vei veni sa vizitezi Brasovul deoarece nu ai nimic de pierdut,pentru ca este locul de vacanta perfect si nu este deloc scump.In opinia mea este locul perfect sa petreci timp frumos si ai ce sa inveti doar intr-o excursie.

Sinaia, orasul de poveste

Inca de cand ai ajuns, la periferia orasului, te intampina gara regala unde inca mai stationeaza o veche locomotiva ce aminteste de secole de mult apuse in care « iuteala maxima » era de 60 km/h  asa cum scrie si pe locomotiva.

Gara regala, o gara mica si cocheta ce te intampina inca de la intrare cu simbolul regal, aripile de vultur. Ajunsi aici puteti zabovii mult si admira Sinaia in miniatura, in interiorul garii fiind machete ce reprezinta in cel mai mic detaliu orasul Sinaia. Doamna ce intampina turistii ii va incanta pe cei mici punandu-i sa caute porumbeii, tinerii din parc, persoanele care se joaca, masina de pompieri, oile si multe altele care ii va incanta chiar si pe cei mari descoperind atatea detalii in macheta.

Nu departe de gara poti deja sa te crezi ca esti intr-un oras din alta epoca, Parcul Ghica amintind de secolele  XVII, XVIII.Plimbarea in parcul amenajat cu o mare atentie a detaliului, alaturi de  Hotel New Montana , Hotel Palace si Cazinoul iti va contura imaginea unei vieti regale… Parcul  de un verde crud si arhitectura cazinoului si a celorlate cladiri inca soptesc de plimbarile regelui Carol cu familia.

Si pentru ca un oras  poate fi descoperit mai confortabil cu masina, va recomand inchirierea unui autoturism sau a unui microbuz. Dupa ce treci de parc vei gasi un drum prin padure ce iti vor indruma pasii spre lacasul sfant Manastirea Sinai. Lacasul sfant adaposteste multa istorie si daca vei avea ocazia sa auzi povestind un dascal despre manastire vei fi fascinat, dar dincolo de istorie ramane un lacas sfant in care ramai cu sufletul pentru a te ruga si nu cu privirea pentru a admira.

Alaturi de acelasi drum te vor intampina cativa trubaduri ce-ti vor canta refrene celebre si nu dupa mult timp vei raman mut de uimire vazand grandoarea Castelului Peles. Desi iti va fi greu, mai bine viziteaza pentru inceput Castelul Pelisor. Dincolo de toate informatiile ce ti le va oferii ghidul, Pelisor iti va crea imaginea unui castel cu 99 de încaperi unde regina Maria a lasat amprenta unei vietii regale.

Dupa ce ti-a incantat privirea Pelisorul te va uimi Pelesul. De departe iti creaza impresia unui castel obisnuit, copacii ce il inconjoara ascund frumos maretia lui.

Ajuns in curtea palatului vei crede cu adevarat ca Sinaia este un oras regal. Grandoarea castelului se contureaza inca de la intrarea in curte, statuetele frumos conservate stau drept dovada, dar interiorul a celor 160 de camere te vor uimi cu siguranta.

Detaseaza-te de ghidul ce iti va povestii frumos de fiecare camera in parte, oricum nu vei retine decat cateva stiluri arhitecturale si cateva camere in care au stat personalitati importante precum George Enescu. Aici arta detaliului este mereu prezenta iti vor trebui zile ca sa observi fiecare detaliu din fiecare camera, dar dincolo de grandoarea incaperilor castelul se infatiseaza unic si fastuos ca si in anul 1883, este atat de bine conservat incat ai impresia ca esti in vizita la regele Carol si il cauti in castel, dar el este de mult in camera lui urcand  pe intrarile lui secrete, iar pe regina Maria te astepti sa o gasesti in micul cinema din palat. Despre castel as vorbi  mult, dar vorbele sunt infime pe langa tot ce poate spune acest castel…

Daca crezi ca ai vazut totul nu uita ca mai ai de vizitat si casa memoriala George Enescu, Foisorul – putin mai sus de Pelisor si nu in ultimul rand centrul orasului pe Bulevardul Caroli  unde hotelurile sunt pe centimetru patrat sau te poti plimba prin oras cu micul trenulet turistic.

Pentru cei pasionati mai mult de natura decat de istorie Sinaia ofera trasee de schi, drumuri montane amenajate, precum si telecabina ce urca pana la cota 2000.

Daca pana acum am fost uimita de cate poate face omul, de cata arta poate crea,  ajunsa in imensitatea montana sunt uimita de cate ne poate oferi natura si cat de pur si salbatic e al nostru cadru natural pe nume Romania…Muntii mareti ce rasar de peste tot, brazii de un verde crud te fac sa iti doresti sa poti ramane uitat in imensitatea cadrului natural ce iti pune la picoare un oras de poveste, orasul Sinaia.

Informatii utile…

O mica harta turistica nu strica nimanui  .

Sinaia, town story

Ever since you came to the outskirts of town, where the royal train greets an old locomotive still stationed reminiscent of centuries long past the ‘pungency maximum‘ was 60 km / h as written on the locomotive.

Royal Station, a small station and gallivant still welcome at the entrance to the royal symbol, the wings of an eagle. Arrived here and admire you more Sinaia and halt the miniature model inside the station and the smallest detail from Sinaia. Ms. welcomes tourists who will delight the little ones asking her to look for birds, young people in the park, people who play, fire truck, sheep and many others that will delight even the big ones discovered so many details in the model.

Not far from the station you can already think you are in one city from another era, recalling Ghica Park XVII, XVIII.  A walk in the park, decorated with great attention to detail, with Palace Hotel and Casino Hotel Caraiman your life will shape the image of a royal … Park-green casino architecture and for the other buildings still whisper of Carol walks with the family.

And because a city can be discovered more comfortable with the car,I recommend renting a car or minibus.You will find a way through in the forest and will guide your steps towards the holy shrine of the Sinai monastery. Holy shrine shelters plenty of history and if you have the opportunity to hear a teacher telling about the monastery will be fascinated, but outside of history remains a place to stay with the holy spirit to pray and not to admire the sight.

Along the same road you will encounter some troubadours who sing your tunes and famous before long you will remain dumbfounded seeing the grandeur of Peles Castle. While you will be hard, better visit the castle began Pelisor. Beyond all the information that you will give your guide, you will create Pelisor image of a castle with 99 rooms where Queen Mary has left a mark of royal life.

After you look delighted Pelisorul will amaze Peles. It creates the impression of a modest castle, beautiful trees that surround him hide his greatness. Arriving in the courtyard of the palace you really believe that Sinaia is a royal city. Grandeur castle from the entrance courtyard, statues are well preserved as evidence, but the interior of the 160 rooms will surely amaze. Detach yourself from what you will guide nice story from each camera, however you will retain only a few architectural styles and several rooms which were important figures such as George Enescu. Here art detail is always present you will need days to see every detail in every room, but beyond greatness castle rooms that depict the unique and luxurious like in 1883, is so well preserved that you will feel you are visiting Carol and looking into the castle, but he is much in his room by climbing on his secret entrances, and the Queen Mary expect to find in a small cinema palace. I talk a lot about the castle, but insignificant words are all he can say besides this castle…

If you think you have seen everything you got remember that visit and George Enescu Memorial House, Tower – slightly above the Pelisor and last but not least Caroli Avenue downtown, where hotels are per square inch, or you can walk around town with little tourist train.

For those passionate natures more than the history, Sinaia offers: ski trails, mountain roads furnished, and cable cars that climb up the quota in 2000.

If  I was amazed from watch man can do, how much art created , reached at  the mountain vastness I am  amazed by how many and how offer pure nature and wild landscape in ours named Romania … the mighty mountains spring up everywhere, a fresh green trees make you want to stay in the vastness of the landscape that makes you a city story, Sinaia.

Cheia, colt de Rai

In vacanta de iarna,am “evadat” din aglomeratul Bucuresti,alegand drept destinatie de vacanta localitatea Cheia din judetul Prahova.Cum am descoperit acest loc? Simplu…folosind internetul.

Trebuie sa precizez ca localitatea nu este una foarte mare,insa am fost placut surprinsa de baza tehnico-materiala generoasa.Astfel am decis de comun accord cu prietenii mei sa ne rezervam doua camere duble la hotel Cheia, amplasat chiar in centrul localitatii.Apoi ne-am intrebat cum ajungem acolo?Raspunsul tot cu ajutorul internetului l-am gasit,acesta dandu-ne doua variante: trenul sau un microbus ce face ruta Bucuresti-Valenii de Munte-Maneciu-Cheia.

Despre Cheia

Acest microbus are plecari din autogara Basarab la orele 06:30 respectiv 13:00.Daca alegeti cea de-a doua varianta trebuie sa tineti cont si de urmatoarele dezavantaje: trenul accelerat poate fi luat din gara de nord insa circula pana in orasul Ploiesti.De acolo aveti tren personal pana in localitatea Maneciu,unde daca sunteti norocosi puteti calatori pana la Cheia cu microbuzul din prima varianta,daca nu,va trebui sa luati ocazie,calatorind 20 km pana in localitatea amintita.

Ar mai fi si a treia varianta,daca aveti masina personala si bine inteles daca cunoasteti traseul.Noi am ales prima varianta,am calatorit in conditii bune ajungand la timp.

Primul lucru ce ne-a atras atentia atunci cand am ajuns a fost aerul tare si curat,explicatia fiind padurile dese din localitate. Ospitalitatea personalului din hotelul unde noi am rezervat camerele a fost pe masura asteptarilor noastre,de altfel si conditiile si igiena de apreciat,insa ne-am comfruntat cu o problema…mancarea din restaurantul hotelului nu era pe placul tuturor.Asa ca am ales restaurantul Zaganu,aflat la 500 m de hotelul unde noi eram cazati,si unde am gasit o gama variata de preparate culinare si bauturi alcoolice si nealcoolice “ca la mama acasa”.

Activitati Turistice

Una din activitatile turistice ce le-am desfasurat pe parcursul sederii noastre acolo a fost o provocare aceea de a urca la muntele Rosu,un loc superb,cu o cabana frumoasa,unde ne-am distrat practicand diverse sporturi de iarna.

De altfel in localitate puteti vizita urmatoarele obiective turistice de mare interes:

-          Manastirea Cheia,un lacas de cult minunat,cu picturi frumoase,un loc in care primiti liniste sufleteasca si binecuvantare.

-          Muzeul Florilor de Mina un alt obiectiv de neratat,unde puteti admira frumusetea pietrelor naturale pretioase si semipretioase,si de unde sigur veti pleca cu o impresie buna si suveniruri pe alese.

-          Muzeul Naturii Vaii Superioare A Teleajanului,care expune publicului vizitator toate animalele,pasarile si insectele existente in zona,iar ce ne-a impresionat cel mai mult a fost existenta in fiecare camera a unui anotimp.

In concluzie,a fost o vacanta minunata,distractiva dar si relaxanta iar localitatea Cheia este un loc in care poti uita de unde ai venit insa nu poti uita de unde ai plecat.

So, here it is: the Peugeot 107 is a city car produced by French automaker Peugeot since mid 2005. The 107 was developed by the B-Zero project of PSA Peugeot Citroën in a joint-venture with Toyota; the Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo are badge engineered versions of the same car, although the Aygo has more detail differences than the C1. All three are built at the new facilities of the Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile Czech joint-venture in the city of Kolin, Czech Republic.

It is a four-seater available as a three or five-door hatchback. The 107 replaces the 106, which ceased production at the end of 2003 after 12 years.

The rear view of the Peugeot 107 shows the tail light clusters it shares with the Citroën C1, but not with the Toyota Aygo.

* The most basic and cheapest 107 available is the ‘Urban Lite’. Lacking the accessories of higher trim levels, it features manual wind up windows, unpainted wing mirrors, no door protectors and two airbags.

* The ‘Urban’ is considered the most popular trim level for the 107 range. In France, the ‘Urban’ is called the ‘Trendy’.

* An ‘Urban Move’ model was equipped as standard with air conditioning, a rev counter and metallic paint.

* A ‘Sport XS’ trim level was also offered but was deleted from the range in February 2008.In 2008, a ‘Sport’ trim replaced the Sport XS trim.

* A ‘Kiss’ edition was released in partnership with the UK radio station, Kiss FM.

* In Portugal it is offered in a two seater only two door van version, as its Citroën C1 sibling for urban use, equipped with the 1.4L diesel engine.

* Verve (available from 2009 face lift) is similar to the Urban Move models, with air conditioning. However, alloy wheels are now standard, along with exclusive Orange interior trim and new body colors.

The interior now has more choices of fabrics for the seats and the graphics on the center console have been changed slightly. Other improvements made to the car can be found in the engine which now produces 106 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer opposed to 109 before and the fuel economy has been improved from 61 mpg-imp (4.6 L/100 km; 51 mpg-US) to 62.8 mpg-imp (4.50 L/100 km; 52.3 mpg-US) – thank you Wikipedia !!

Let’s see how does the Peugeot behaves when in terms of reliability…Breakdown statistics reported by the German Automobile Club in May 2010 placed the Peugeot 107 (which the data grouped with the Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo) at the top of the sub-small car class in respect of the low break-down rates achieved for cars aged between 1 and 4 years.(Class laggards were the Chevrolet Matiz (0 – 3 year old cars) and the two seater Smart (4 – 5 year old cars).

The Peugeot 107 cars from out fleet are no older than 4 years, they have been fabricated between 2007 – 2010, all with face lift, the best model in town . Here are some general information, that it is 90% sure that you will find when you rent a 107 with Eurocars:

General information

• Doors number 4+1
• Passengers number 4
• Trunk volume 130l
• Standard features
• Engine 1.0 E
• Fuel Gasoline
• Comfort A/C, Height-adjustable steering wheel
• Security 2 Airbags
• Breaking – ABS
• Audio – Radio CD

As we already found out from this article, maybe you knew it by now, maybe it is new for you as it is to me, differences between Peugeot 107 and Citroen C1 or Toyota Aygo are almost unnoticeable. So, when we can’t offer you Peugeot 107 (cause it might just happen), feel free to agree to a C1 or Aygo.. they were all built to satisfy your next desires: small renting price / small guarantee / fuel consumption – as low as possible (it might just work on air ) and last but not least, reliability.

Rent it at 22 euros / day for a 4 – 5 day journey (it is still in the available offer) and you will find out what made it the car of 2010.

Second of your choice…will be soon published, but don’t forget: is not the car that makes your journey, it is the way you feel when you drive it, no matter the brand…you’re the only responsible for your well-being!
