The 10 Best Things to do in Brasov, Transylvania
Smack in the center of Romania is Brasov, a harmonious mash-up of traditional charm and modern city life. Ride a double-decker bus around the city to get your bearings and see the sites whiz by, then hop off to squeeze down Strada Sforii, the narrowest street in Europe. Take a day trip to see the fortified church of Prejmer, the Libearty brown bear sanctuary, and the deliciously ominous Bran Castle, otherwise known as Dracula’s Castle.

This is the heart of the city. With so many nearby restaurants and cafes, this is a vibrant area with locals and tourists. You can have a seat and watch people carrying bags from their shopping. Just around the corner from Old Town is the historic Black Church.

Brasov is one of the most beautiful cities in Romania, with plenty of historical monuments and natural attractions, many excellent restaurants and offering good accommodations as well. I recommend asking at a hotel reception for the simplified map of the Old Center and have a walk along the fortifications. The central City Square (or Piata Sfatului in Romanian) is an amazing large plaza from where one can see a bit of everything: the Tampa peak with its huge, white name of the city above, the Black Church and the historic layout of business surrounding the place.

This 15th-century Gothic church got its name after the great fire in 1689 blackened its outer walls.

Everytime I come to Brașov, I visit this curch. The entrance fee is small and it's a nice experience for history buffs. They also offer guided tours.
8. Yekaterina's Gate

Reviewed By DraganDPG - Munich, Germany
This city gate is located some 500 metres west from the city centre and stands as the only one original city gate that has survived from that time. It dates back to 1559 and it was a replacement of an old city gate destroyed by the flood in 1528. It is named after St. Catherine's Monastery. Four small corner turrets around the main tower symbolize judicial autonomy of the city. Don't miss.

Queuing to the cable car didn't take super long although it was a hot summer noon and there was quite a lot of people desiring to get up to the Tampa mountain. Ticket sales is quick and simple, prices are affordable and the ride is smooth. A must for a visitor in Brasov.
