City Introduction

Brașov is a city located in central Romania close to the mountains of the Southern Carpathians, which have the country’s highest peaks. It is a city that has had many names like Kronstadt, which the Teutonic Order established, and Orașul Stalin, whose name came from the Soviet leader Josef Stalin. The many names also indicate that many different cultures and people have left their mark on the city’s development over time.

There are many things to see in Brașov, and you can start from the central square, Piața Sfatului. There have been markets here since the 14th century, and today the cozy square is surrounded by houses primarily from the 18th and 19th centuries. In the middle of the square is the town hall from 1420, which today houses the regional history museum. In the square you can also see the Black Church, Biserica Neagră, from the 1300s-1400s.

You can see quite a few buildings from Brașov’s time as a fortified city as well. The Catherine Gate from 1559 stands beautifully as the only preserved city gate from its time. You can also see the 19th century Poarta Șchei gate and preserved fortress towers. From recent times, the Brașov Town Hall, the Regional Prefecture are some of the architectural highlights, just as there are also several interesting churches to visit.

When in Brașov, one cannot miss seeing Mount Tâmpa, which rises as the backdrop of the Carpathians next to the city. The letters Brașov loom large on the hillside, and from Tâmpa there is a fantastic view of Brașov and the city’s surroundings. There are also other interesting places near the city. Many will probably take a trip to Bran Castle, also known as Count Dracula’s castle.
