Brasov Walking Tour
Brasov, Romania
Why Walk Brasov
Brasov sits in a valley surrounded by the Carpathian Mountains, its old town overlooked by the Tampa Mountain and the Hollywood-style 'BRASOV' sign on the ridge. The city was founded by Teutonic Knights in 1211 and developed by Saxon settlers. The Black Church — named for its fire-blackened walls — is the largest Gothic church between Vienna and Istanbul. The medieval town center preserves the Council Square, defensive towers, and the narrow Rope Street.
