CHOOSING A CITY: Eastern Europe

BRASOV, ROMANIA


Brasov is a city which combines beautiful historical architecture with nearby outdoor activities. Brasov has many interesting attractions inside and near the city, including a bear sanctuary and "Dracula's Castle" in nearby Bran http://www.bran-castle.com/dracula.html. The following video gives a glimpse of Brasov's architecture as well as its performing arts.



KRAKOW, POLAND


Krakow is a city full of many students, great nightlife and a large and busy market square. It's also an excellent choice for people who are interested in history. Enjoy this short introduction to Krakow, from Rick Steves. This video doesn't have good English subtitles, but many of his other videos do.



ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA


St. Petersburg is a city bursting with attractions, including more than 400 museums! The Hermitage Museum alone has 2.7 million artworks! This makes St. Petersburg one of the most important cultural centers of Europe. The city also has museums for the authors Nabokov and Dostoevsky. Any art, literature and history lovers will find something interesting in St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg has many gorgeous sites, as you can see from the video below, which has English and Korean subtitles available!
