The idea of painted windows is nice and gives the street a nice and interesting vibe. The small writings and drawings on the wall give an insight into what occupies the minds of total strangers. It's nice to look at pieces of the wall with a curiosity to really observe what people did. These visual fragments of peoples thoughts are fascinating. However, many people disrespect the artists and the street. The writings are everywhere, even on top of the painted work done by artists. The municipality did well to dedicate a piece of wall for writings, because it will happen anyway. Many people did poorly by entirely not caring or probably even thinking about the consequences of their scribbles. Is the funny face you drew so absolutely valuable for pedestrians that it should vandalize the...

Read moreStrada Sforii este cu siguranta unul dintre locurile care nu trebuie ratate de niciun turist care vine la Brasov , fiind unica prin latimea sa extrem de mica . Daca inainte peretii care margineau strada aratau oribil datorita numeroaselor inscriptii si desene de pe pereti , iata ca acum au fost renovati , fiind in prezent foarte viu colorati .

Motivul pentru care nu i-am dat 5 stele e faptul ca , la urma urmei , strada Sforii e doar ...o strada , care , odata vazuta , nu mai e asa impresionanta sau interesanta a doua oara . Mai mult de atat , nu e ca si cum Brasovul nu ar avea alte strazi mult mai impresionante : Strada Muresenilor este , dupa parerea mea , cea mai pitoreasca strada din Romania , mai ales privita din perspectiva in care apare Biserica Neagra in capat . Acest fapt imi demonstreaza inca o data ca deseori locurile cu adevarat frumoase nu sunt promovate turistic , in timp ce locurile care " prind mai bine la public " datorita unor curiozitati ( cum e Strada Sforii datorita latimii sale super mici sau alte locuri din Romania precum : cimitirul vesel de la sapanta , camera lui dracula din sighisoara , salina turda etc) sunt super promovate turistic . Facand abstractie de acest lucru , Strada Sforii merita...
