The answer to this question is easy, there is no other better time than now. First time I have installed this game I checked my country, I couldn`t find anything to buy, tried several cities and I understood that the game didn`t expand in Romania, I would love to be a pioneer in the exploration of this NFT metaverse. So below you will find several reasons why players would love to explore Brasov in Upland, and why not even other cities from Romania.
Before I start sharing more information about special places or Iconic landmarks on the city, I invite you to watch this short video about amazing Bra?ov.
This is a tourist city which has lots of things to visit, from natural parks, adventure parks, sky resorts, buildings with amazing architecture, several museums, old churches, the Citadel Hill , catacombs, Solomon's stones and many more. The most Iconic landmark is the Bra?ov sign on the Tampa mountain which is almost 3150 ft high, it is the highest point from the city.
There are legends in regards of this 3150 feet tall mountain, that below it there is a huge lake that is a remnant of a prehistoric sea, the evidence they have is by the all freshwater springs that are at the base of the mountain. Enough of history lets focus on the present.
You can see the whole city, even a part of the old one in the left and the new one from center and to the right. From the top of the mountain you will be able to see a panoramic view of the city which in the last 3 years expanded in size and population.
Let`s move through downtown of Bra?ov, a special place is the Rope Street which in romanian is called "Strada Sforii" which was built for the firemen of 15th century to move faster to the other side of the walls, it is almost 263 feet long ( around 80 m ), though it width has a maximum of 53.1 inches and the minimum of 43.7 inches ( 111-135 cm ). When you visit Bra?ov that is one cool place to take a photo, since it is the 3rd most narrow street in Europe.
Another Iconic landmark is the Black Church, this name became used just before 20th century, the old name is Church of Saint Mary. It is a gothic style church built in 14th century built for the german community that settled at the bottom of the mountain. The church has 292 feet in length ( 89 m ) and 214 feet high ( 65 m ) and around 125 feet wide ( 38 m ).
The Citadel Hill which you can see in the image below was one defense point outside of the city in the beginning of 15th century, in the present the city is restoring it into a restaurant, this is another place to visit from where you can see the city, a great view from above. This city is a medieval jewel which is expanding more and more further.
Downtown in the Council Square you can enjoy restaurants and museums, the main building in the image is the history museum, this building was the old townhall before it was transformed into a museum.
Around it you can see many businesses and more on the right side there is a wide pedestrian street which is called Republicii Street, in the medieval era it was the main street of the city. Now it is full of shops and restaurants where you can enjoy the moment.
Below you can see two old entrances in the city which were restored first one below is "Ecaterina Gate"( Poarta Ecaterinei ) and ?chei GATE ( Poarta ?chei ).
Below you can see how the city looked at the end of 17th century, this whole new part was built by the german community that moved here, on the top part of the right side of the map were the big courtyards of the romanian merchants.
Below you can see how the city extended, this map is from 20th century, to be more precise it is from 2011. The city continues to expand fast in 2021 and it s population have been growing with over 100.000 beings in the last 3 years since a lot of people are buying apartments or houses in Bra?ov.
Let`s have a break from reading and enjoy a storytelling video about Bra?ov.
We have even several palaces, one century ago the most luxury building in Bra?ov where the following:
1. Frederich si Wilhelm Czell Palace
2. Safrano Clan Palace
3. The palace without paladins ( Stirbey Palace )
4. Palace of Justice ( Brasov Court of Appeal )
5. Palace of the House of Pensions (1885) ( Rectorate of Transilvania University Brasov )
We also have the White Tower and Black Tower where you can go and watch above the city, around them there are sometimes rave parties.
After you come back downtown from the towers you can enjoy the sound of the water pouring downhill and the sound of the birds by walking through the Graft Bastion and on the Street after the Walls.
These are my selfies, with the places I would buy first in the metaverse.
For the end of the article I am sharing another video of Bra?ov so you can relax and enjoy this great city.
At the moment there are no Cultural Events from what I know in regards with the global situation, but for sure when things will settle the events will start opening and it will attract beings from all across the world, since the city is visited a lot by tourists. Hopefully it will happen soon!
I am grateful for this opportunity I have received to share more about my city and in the future have it in the Upland metaverse game, the content cand make anyone see the past and present of the city, giving a strong and imaginative case why Bra?ov is worth to be in the game. I appreciate your time reading and watching the content, it was a pleasure investing my time in it.
