Brașov is a medieval Transylvanian city ringed by the Carpathians, with a Gothic Black Church, a cobbled main square and day trips to Bran Castle.

Brașov lies in a basin of the Carpathian Mountains in central Romania, with the wooded Tâmpa hill rising above its old town. The city was built up by German settlers, the Transylvanian Saxons, and its centre is a tidy grid of baroque houses around Council Square, with the Old Council House in the middle. The Black Church, the largest Gothic church between Vienna and Istanbul, was blackened by a fire in 1689.
Strada Sforii, Rope Street, is one of Europe's narrowest streets, and parts of the medieval walls, with the Weavers' Bastion and the White and Black Towers, survive. A cable car climbs Tâmpa, where large white letters spell the city's name. Bran Castle, associated with the Dracula legend, is about 30 kilometres south-west, and the fortified church at Prejmer and the fortress of Râșnov lie nearby. Poiana Brașov, a ski resort, is a short drive up the mountain.
Ciorbă de burtă, a creamy tripe soup, sarmale, cabbage rolls, mămăligă with cheese and sour cream and papanași, fried dumplings with jam, are on most menus, and many restaurants serve Transylvanian Saxon and Hungarian dishes. Plum brandy, țuică, is poured at table. Snow reaches the hills by December, which brings skiers to Poiana Brașov.
