Venue, Travel and Accommodation
Conference Location
IC-ANMBES will take place in the building of the Aula Magna of Transilvania University of Brasov.
Address: 41 A Iuliu Maniu Street, Brasov, 500091, Romania.
Brasov - Please watch the video to get an idea about how beautiful Brasov is, here.
Brasov is located in the center of Romania, about 180 km north of Bucharest. It takes about 3 3-hour drive from Bucharest International Airport to Brasov. Intercity trains and European roads are connecting Brasov to the major cities in Romania and Europe.
Brasov is a famously beautiful city in the middle of the country located 176 km north of Bucharest. Brasov is an old medieval city. The buildings of Brasov can tell you a lot about the city's evolution throughout different ages. Also known as Kronstadt or Corona, Brasov was the home of some of the best craftsmen, jewelers, and traders living in Transylvania. The city of Brasov boasts a rich historic heritage. Surrounded on three sides by mountains, it was a perfect place for a medieval settlement. The old city, founded by the Teutonic Knights in 1211, is one of the best preserved. Lately, it has been thoroughly restored to the delight of an increasing number of tourists. It was an important center of resistance against foreign invaders during the turbulent medieval period.
Being an old medieval city, Brasov allows you to visit many old historical monuments and museums that reflect the cultural and historical importance of the place. The old city itself is very well preserved and is best seen by taking the cable car to the top of Tâmpa Mountain (995 m), a beautiful lookout.
The most important historical monuments were built in that period: The Old City Hall, “Podul Batusilor” (today hosting the Cerbul Carpatin restaurant), The Old Granary (today the lovely Bistrot de l'Arte), the Black Church (14th century), St. Nicolae Church in Scheii Brasovului - dating back to the 14th century, First Romanian School - a museum with the first Romanian printing press among many other firsts the Rope Street - a most narrow street in Europe, The "Brasov Citadel Fortress" - Cetatuia Brasovului, The Orthodox Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos, built in 1896, Schei - the historically Bulgarian and then Romanian neighborhood outside of the old walled city.
The biggest attraction in town is the Gothic Protestant Church built between 1385 and 1477. It is known by the name of "Black Church" because of its smoke-blackened walls after a fire in 1689. The establishment was recently restored, and tourists can now fully enjoy listening to organ concerts or admire the enchanting oriental rug collection.
The Council Square (Piata Sfatului), known to the Saxon population as the Marktplatz, is the heart of the old medieval Brasov. Lined with beautiful red-roofed merchant houses, the square is one of the finest in the country. In the center of the square lies the Council House, built in 1420 The tower, called the Trumpets Tower, is much older, and was once a watchtower for approaching barbarians before being incorporated into the main building.
Dracula's Castle situated 30 Km from Brasov, between the Bucegi and Piatra Craiului Mountains, Bran Castle is an important national monument and landmark of Romanian tourism, due not only to the beauty of the Castle and the landscape but also to the legend of Count Dracula. Bran Castle was originally a fortress built by the Knights of the Teutonic Order in the year 1212. It was known by the name of Dietrichstein at the time. In addition to its unique architecture, the castle is famous because of persistent myths that it was once the home of Vlad the Impaler, a famous or infamous medieval warlord
(http://www.brancastlemuseum.ro).
Today a historical monument, Peles Castle is a Neo-Renaissance castle placed in an idyllic setting in the Carpathian Mountains, near Sinaia, at 44 Km from Brasov, in Prahova County, on an existing medieval route linking Transylvania and Wallachia, built between 1873 and 1914; its inauguration was held in 1883. Peles Castle is considered by many one of the most beautiful castles in all of Europe. It was the final resting place for several Romanian monarchs including King Carol I, who died here in 1914.
Poiana Brasov is the favorite tourist destination in Romania. Only 13 km away from Brasov, up in the mountains, you can find a unique winter resort: Poiana Brasov with about ten major ski slopes, Romanian-style restaurants, swimming pools, and tennis courts. In summer there are tennis courts, swimming pools, boat rides, mountain climbing, horse riding, and many other great sports activities.
