Three Must-Visit Attractions in Brașov

1. The Council Square (Piața Sfatului) & Black Church Just a ten-minute drive or a scenic downhill walk from the hotel, the historic heart of Brașov is a must. The Gothic Black Church, completed in the 15th century, holds Europe’s largest mechanical organ and an impressive collection of Anatolian carpets. The surrounding square buzzes with cafés, street performers, and colorful Baroque buildings—perfect for an afternoon of wandering.

2. Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle) Located about 25 kilometers southwest of Brașov, Bran Castle is one of Romania’s most iconic landmarks. Often linked to the Dracula legend, this fortress perched on a rocky hill offers fascinating exhibits on medieval life and royal history. The surrounding park and open-air museum of traditional Romanian houses add depth to the visit. Allow at least half a day.
