Popular Tour Itineraries Featuring 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.

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.

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.
