Brașov

Brașov is a Transylvanian city at the foot of the Southern Carpathians. Its historic centre combines the legacy of Saxon craft guilds with Orthodox churches and Jewish heritage. Council Square and the Black Church provide useful landmarks, while narrow streets lead towards the old city gates. The compact centre brings these sights together in a walking route.
