Great introduction to Brasov and its rich history. The mushroom pastry looked really delicious. I guess Olivia was able to understand more in readig Romanian, rather than understand conversations. As far as I known Roamnians are able to learn Italian very fast.

[@christianasampson2852]

Really lovely video, that pie looked delicious and I don’t like pastry yet I think I’d try and like it. Lots of history and beautiful buildings I love places like that. The book shop was amazing I love books I could spend a day sitting looking at and reading books but Bram Castle wow, I look forward to watching that video. Happy travels ladies look forward to your next one

[@deenaparker8689]

[@stacyc2403]

What a wonderful video! I'm actually watching it from Brasov - just arrived today, and your tips are helping me plan my agenda for tomorrow. :) I've watched a lot of videos on Romania, but especially appreciate the facts, history, tips, and "off the main drag" content here in yours. Thank you both!

[@MariaOliviaTravel]

Yay I’m so glad to hear that 🥰 how was your trip?

[@ChrisSaddlerSam]

[@MariaOliviaTravel]

We really did enjoy it!!

[@alexdnm]

Efharisto poli for promoting our country with those videos ! 🙏 More than our authorities does! Also, i realy love Greece, i visited some beautiful places in your country.

[@MariaOliviaTravel]

Our pleasure! Thank you for having us in your country, we can't wait to come back one day and explore more regions 😍😍 Both of our countries are very beautiful 😍

[@cassian_pcm6941]

The german name of Braşov is “Kronstadt” which translates to “the city of Crown”. Thats why the logo of the city is a crown with tree brenches. 😁

[@mikehenry1698]

Enjoy 😉 Romania 🇷🇴 ladies.

[@paulmatthewduffy]

Hi to you both. I really enjoyed your video. Can you tell what time of year you made your film please? And what temperatures you experienced. Thank you.

[@MariaOliviaTravel]

Hi Paul, thank you for the kind words 😊 this was filmed at the end of September. We were told the temperature was abnormally hot for that time of year. We wore T-shirts and shorts every day and we still felt hot. The temperature must have been around the high 20s C. It might not be like that again next year so I’d bring sweaters and pants as well.

[@paulmatthewduffy]

@@MariaOliviaTravel Thanks for the response. We're going in June this year, so hopefully it will be nice and warm. Will be watching more of your transylvania videos top tips and advice.

[@ursdaniel]

You didnt eat Romanian dessert: Papanași? Its AWESOME!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

[@MariaOliviaTravel]

I know 😭 we were so disappointed we didn’t have papanasi, that was on the top of our list of foods to try. Our time in Romania went so fast :(

[@ursdaniel]

@@MariaOliviaTravel always is a second time in Romania. :)

[@MariaOliviaTravel]

Exactly 😊

[@cassian_pcm6941]

Aaand the german name of Transilvania is “Siebenbürgen” which I like it because makes much more sense than the romanian name. It translates to “seven citadels”. Braşov is one of them. 😁

[@danascully6698]

Much more sense? Not at all. The name of Transilvania comes from Latin and it translates "across the forest"!

[@mariancostache539]

Visit to Bucovina în Romanian The Best Regions ❤❤❤😮

[@MariaOliviaTravel]

Thank you for the suggestion! We definitely want to come back and explore more of Romania, such a beautiful country and so much to see 😍

[@durosstrauleanu6348]

know real romanian music ???

[@bogdantudor7835]

In Brasov bears at night ...

[@charliedm1]

Maybe it would have been more enjoyable to watch if you hadn’t quoted your tour guide all the time but rather just acted as our, the viewers, own tour guide. Which is kind of why I was watching the video. Just an idea. Knowing the names of stuff like what the bread is actually called instead of calling it French names could also have made the video more enjoyable. Lastly; are you really allowed to fly a drone over populated areas/cities in Romania?

[@alnoso]

Yes, you can fly drones in cities in Romania without authorization if they're light enough. A drone has to be below 250g for you to be allowed to fly it directly over people so it doesn't injure someone if it falls. Some drones are also classified as "toys" and can be flown without restrictions. Some heavier drones that were bought before 2023 can also be flown without registration since that's when the new laws were put into place. If you're registered as a drone operator in another country in the EU that will usually allow you to fly heavier drones in Romania too, but the law is a bit fuzzy. It's technically illegal to "take off and land" in cities, but that isn't really enforced. A lot of the drone laws are in place to be able to prosecute people that fly drones near places like government buildings or military bases, if you don't fly higher than 120m and don't bother other people no-one will bother you either.
