THE city of Brașov - not to be confused with the nearby alpine resort of Poiana Brașov, where I am staying - is home to more than 250,000 people.
There are many cafes and the centre is easy to get around on foot.
A frequent bus connects the city to the resort at a cost of little more than £1, with the bus often hauling a trailer for passengers to attach mountain bikes.

A highlight of the city is St Nicholas's Church, founded in 1292 but rebuilt in stone from the late 1400s.
