Here you will have the opportunity to see bears climbing trees, playing in the water pools or just lazing in the meadows. Here’s the place where real bears and teddy bears live together.

Step inside the mysterious rooms and dark passageways to discover the legend of the most famous vampire. Brasov Next, you will proceed to Brasov. The city was founded by the Teutonic Knights in 1211, and it’s surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains. Walk on the narrowest street in Europe - Rope Street, and take as many pictures as you can.
