The impressive geographical position, culture, history and fairy-tale scenery are just some of the reasons why visiting Brașov may be the best idea this autumn.
Before planning a future stay, it is a good idea to put together an itinerary too, so as not to miss any special place.
Council Square (Piața Sfatului)
In the central part of the city is Council Square, an emblematic space of the whole area. There are numerous historic monuments here, as well as restaurants serving traditional food, which delight visitors with the flavour of their dishes. A mulled wine with apple and cinnamon, a portion of papanași with blueberry jam or a tochitură, with a dream view on top. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
The Black Church
This is a religious monument marked by history, where you will have the chance to see even the largest bell in the whole country, weighing over 6,000 kg. Architects believe the church is also among the largest places of worship built in the Gothic style in south-eastern Europe.
Did you know that the building’s name comes precisely from the fact that it was engulfed by a devastating fire in 1689? The dense smoke left its mark on the church roof, but it has kept its charm of old and is much appreciated by visitors from all over the world.

Rope Street (Strada Sforii)
A street unique in Europe is how we could describe Rope Street in Brașov. Why do we say this? Because it is the narrowest, only 1.30 m wide. If you are visiting this city for the first time, take a short walk in the evening. As for its location, you will find this stretch between Cerbului and Poarta Schei streets.
Tâmpa Mountain
For mountain hiking lovers, Brașov is the perfect holiday destination. To enjoy a panoramic view of the whole city, you will have to set off on a walk up Tâmpa Mountain.
Perhaps you have often seen the city’s emblem in photographs or admired it from the streets of Brașov. Have you ever thought what it would be like to climb up to it? On the mountain top, far from the urban bustle.
The First Romanian School
Since times long ago, Brașov has stood out across the whole country. It is worth knowing that the First Romanian School was founded here, in the 11th century. Today the museum building houses a classroom typical of those times.
