Poiana Brasov, a Great Place for a Winter Holiday

A place which I always visit during winter time is Poiana Brasov.

Poiana Brasov, in German Schulerau, is a great winter resort situated in the heart of Bucegi Mountains, Romania.

 Poiana Brasov is wonderful during winter time. There are 12 great ski slopes having various degrees of difficulty and many skating rinks. At the base of every slope there are many places from where you can rent sky equipment at very affordable prices, starting from 10 euros per day. 

The traditional restaurants are amazing. If you are a foreigner you will be enchanted by the Romanian food and also by the beautiful Romanian carols sung all over the resort during Christmas time.

You can find accomodation at all prices, depending on your budget: from luxurious hotels (which include in their offers spa services or free pool access) to the coziest rooms in fairytale guest houses.

If you are young and restless you must know that Poiana Brasov has a very active night life. The discos, pubs and clubs in Poiana often organize thematic parties (like Dracula or Medieval parties).

You won’t get bored in Poiana Brasov. However, you cannot miss the surroundings of Poiana: 

 Brasov (at a few kilometers from the resort)- it is a medieval city, with many touristic attractions to visit, among which the Black Church.

Bran Castle (at 20 kilometers from Poiana Brasov)- the place where Dracula legends come to life.

Predeal Resort (44 kilometres distance)- another great place for skiers.
