A Day in Brașov: The Perfect Itinerary for Discovering the Charm of This Medieval City
Brașov is the city where the mountains and history meet at every step. If you have just one day available, here’s how to make the most of it:
Morning: Piața Sfatului and the Black Church
Start your day in the heart of the city. Piața Sfatului is the perfect place to admire the Baroque architecture and enjoy a late breakfast. Just a few steps away is the Black Church, the largest Gothic religious building between Vienna and Constantinople, famous for its collection of Oriental carpets and its massive organ.
Lunch: Strada Sforii and the Bastions
After wandering a little through the pedestrian streets, look for Strada Sforii – one of the narrowest streets in Europe. Continue your walk towards the citadel walls, passing under Catherine’s Gate to reach the Weavers’ Bastion.
Afternoon: The Panorama from Tâmpa
For the best photos of the old town and the famous “BRASOV” sign, take the cable car up to the top of Tâmpa Mountain. The ride is quick and the view is worth every second.
Personal Touch: Brașov can get crowded, but with Almacris Invest, your driver will drop you right at the edge of the pedestrian area, saving you long walks from peripheral parking lots.
