What we love about Brasov
Trip Planner Team Leader
As a child, Brasov used to be my favorite city. I was always fascinated by this medieval town resting literally at the foothills of a small mountain. I love that from the main square it’s just a few minutes’ walk to the cable car and in almost no time you’re atop Mount Tampa, admiring the whole city from above. The view is breathtaking, no matter how many times I’ve seen it. Another cool thing is Poiana Brasov, a ski resort accessible by bus in less than 30 minutes. Brasov is all about the setting, the fresh air, tiny medieval cobblestone streets, and easy access to famous surrounding sites like Bran & Rasnov castles or Piatra Craiului mountain villages.

Frequently Asked Questions about travel to Brasov
How long should I stay in Brasov?
We recommend spending 2-3 days in Brasov. On your first day, you can visit the Old Town of Brasov, then the famous Bran Castle, also known as Dracula’s Castle. Brasov is conveniently located at the gateway of Transylvania and it’s surrounded by the beautiful Carpathian Mountains. This makes it a great starting point for exploring the mountains and the surrounding villages. Therefore, from Brasov you can go on a hike and explore the Seven Stairs Canyon, admire the amazing views from the villages of Magura and Pestera, or visit the rescued bears at Zarnesti's Bear Sanctuary.
What are Brasov's must-see sights?
Council Square (the main square), The Black Church (Transylvania's largest Gothic cathedral), Brasov's defensive fortifications, the Street (perhaps Europe's narrowest street), and Mt. Tampa, where the giant sign reminiscent of Hollywood can be reached via cable car, or an hour's hike.
How can I get around Brasov?
Most of Brasov's attractions are within walking distance of each other, in the city center. However, you can get around via the city's buses and trolleybuses, although Uber and Brasov's affordable taxis are also options.
