Ancient watchtowers

The White and Black Towers forever watching over the city. Built at the end of the 15th century they have  been part of the city’s landscape for most of its life.

Renovated in early 21st century, they now serve as galleries and sometimes event venues and are the central points of interest when visiting the park beyond the city walls.

Schei Neighbourhood

Brașov started out as a Saxon settlement on the merchant road from East to West. During the first centuries of city life Romanians were not allowed to own property within the city walls and were only allowed acces through one of the gates.

So they slowly started building and settling around that gate, the result of those decades of expansion being the Old Schei Neighbourhood, stretching high into the mountain, a cluster of cobble stone streets and chaotic urban development.

Sub Tâmpa

Tâmpa is one of the most recognisable features of Brașov, towering over it with the famous Brașov light sign on top.

A least known fast is that the entire mountian is a nature reserve due to the rare speciaes of bears, butterflies, birds and plants that call it home.

We’ll take a stroll on the lively promenade at the base of the mountain, forest on one side and breathtaking views of Brașov on the other..

Brașov Fortress

The Old Fortress looks over the city from the top of the last hill we’ll be visiting on our tour.

What started out as a tower in the 15h centrury slowly developed into the full fortress you see today over the span of 3 centuries.

We’ll circle round the castle for a 360 degree look over Brașov – old town, new town, industrial are.
