If you arrive in Brasov, you can not miss game of shopping. And I can not recommend first store Star.Si now than explanation: I grew up in the escalator and walking with me sounded like a "big trick", the second high school I did the "union" and the super  walks begins and ends with the "Professor", so it also abridged and spoiled it. name in that period was the store, and then as now was a mixture of regions of the tail was made discs diverse.Aici Compact band, you came here to look uniform sfarstul August, and here peeking at Pegasus bicycles rastel.Daca put in all of this had something money could not buy your TV, stereo, tape or pick-up. Ptr virtually anything you were coming here like they found everything from carpets to curtains, costumes, leather goods, wares,. Samd.O mention honors not present "merchendiseri" (forgive me if am wrong), beat them bad former quality services "sellers" who knew much better at selling products, selling products and important detail in "customer interest", not by the size of the commission earned on sale. I know it was another world, another life, I do not think they are nostalgic, but now let's be honest, how many of those who now work as "merchendiseri", "marketing agents" or as I call them they saw a school with economic "inside". Few and then wonder if you buy something away half the pleasure of buying, right here where I would now speak trebui.Eu generally do not put guns on Star employees (they are in Brasov about last barricade in front of cigarette booths located and kiosks that populate any commercial area), star as one of the few places that you go with the thought in Vienna, Paris, Berlin and the exotic Istambul.Dar not talking about so let's introduce:

Not too far from Bucharest and after passing through one of the most beautiful valleys in the country, along the silver thread of Prahova - by train (166 km) or car (172) - is Brasov, a city which can says, after you met him, he's not missing anything, and that any way you look and be whatever you wanted to heat up found.Summer or winter forest-round him like a endless belt, green or white, shaded and moist belt closely preceding the walls here and there interrupted by guilds of old bastions

Municipiul Braşov

Municipiul Braşov

Braşov, capitala judeţului, cu o populaţie de peste 300 000 de locuitori, este situata in partea central-estica a României, la poalele vârfului Tâmpa (967m). Important centru industrial, cultural si de afaceri, Braşov este si un centru universitar de tradiţie. Datorita numeroaselor monumente istorice si artistice, el este unul dintre cele mai importante centre turistice ale tarii. Existenta sa a fost atestata documentar din 1235 pe o veche construcţie dacica si a fost menţionata în documentele teutonilor în 1211-1222.
Oraşul este împărţit în doua componente distincte: zona de influenta baroca care şerpuieşte la poalele Tâmpei si a masivului Postăvaru si zona întinsa de blocuri si fabrici. Principala atracţie o reprezintă oraşul vechi - cartierul Schei, încă plin de farmec, unde veţi găsi o mulţime de case si obiecte vechi, în special pe filon religios.
Istoric
Primele descoperiri arheologice de pe teritoriul judeţului Braşov atesta prezenta comunitarilor umane in acest spaţiu încă din epoca paleolitică si continuând cu epoca bronzului si a fierului. Otomanii si Wietenberg , ultima având aria de răspândire foarte larga . Urmele culturii Noua - numita aşa după numele unei suburbii a Braşovului - au fost descoperite pe teritoriul judeţului Braşov , fiind identificate aşezări cu locuinţe mari, cu vetre si cuptoare.
Epoca fierului a marcat stabilirea identităţii triburilor nord-danubiene si trecerea spre o noua etapa a culturii geto-dacice .
În 1271 apare menţionat documentar oraşul Brasov sub denumirea de Brasu, pentru ca ulterior sa fie numit Brassov si Brasov (1295) . În 1395 la ordinul lui Sigismund de Luxemburg începea fortificarea Braşovului . În scurt timp Braşovul a devenit un centru comercial însemnat în sud-estul Transilvaniei .
Braşovul era unul din cele mai dezvoltate oraşe medievale în care se desfăşurau numeroase acte de meşteşugărie si negoţ , măsurând aproape 10.000 de locuitori .
Apariţia tiparului în spaţiul românesc la începutul secolului XVI-lea a dus la apariţia cărţilor si a unor tipărituri religioase accelerând dezvoltarea artelor . Primele cărţi in limba româna au fost tipărite intre anii 1665-1588 de către Diaconu Coresi in circa 40 de titluri care au circulat pe tot teritoriul tarii .
Arhitectura bisericeasca s-a remarcat prin construcţii ca Biserica Neagra , Biserica Bartolomeu din Braşov si bisericile fortificate din zona Prejmer si Homorod s.a.
Prima şcoala româneasca a funcţionat la Braşov - începând cu anul 1495 – într-o clădire din curtea bisericii Sf. Nicolae si a constituit un adevărat focar de cultura .
În 1838 s-a tipărit “Gazeta de Transilvania” si “Foaia pentru minte , inima si literatura” care au promovat idealurile românilor din Transilvania . În timpul revoluţiei paşoptiste Braşovul a ocupat un loc important , populaţia participând direct la evenimentele din 1848 . În 1850 a luat naştere primul liceu românesc iar în 1868 George Bariţiu a publicat revista “Transilvania” .
În prezent Braşovul se număra printre cele mai pitoreşti regiuni din Transilvania , care beneficiază de un bogat patrimoniu ce consta în monumente istorice si arhitecturale , fiind si un însemnat centru cultural al tarii si una dintre cele mai cunoscute zone turistice din tara .
În centrul vechi al Braşovului se afla unul din cele mai impresionante monumente istorice din tara, care a fost ridicat de către saşii ardeleni la sfârşitul secolului al XIV-lea. Este vorba despre Biserica Neagra menţionata documentar în 1377. Incendiul din 1689
