The Council Square is a must-see. It is in the heart of Brasov's Old Town, surrounded by buildings with colorful facades and small terraces, making it charming for walks. Indeed, this spot, in particular, is ideal for observing local life, especially by discovering local artisans at the markets. But that's not all; sitting quietly to drink a coffee and enjoy the warm atmosphere is also possible.
In Brasov, various monuments are not to be missed during a visit. The Black Church is on this list, offering a remarkable spectacle. The Gothic architecture is stunning, even if the exterior can look a bit austere. But tourists only have to venture inside to discover this place's wonders. In addition, history buffs are likely to appreciate significantly the imposing organs and the collection of oriental carpets. Another construction not to be missed is the church of Saint Nicolas. Unlike the first, it is a Romanian Orthodox church built in 1292. According to history, this building received essential gifts from Queen Catherine II of Russia and a letter from Pope Boniface IX.
The Strada Sforii, also known as "string street", is another special walk-in Brasov. It is one of the most colorful, narrow alleys in the city. When travelers go there, they discover a color gradient along its entire length, going from red to yellow. Also, they will see the many words, messages and drawings left by the inhabitants on the walls of this alley. All this brings a little artistic touch.
Tempe Hill, a haven for nature enthusiasts, offers sprawling landscapes and breathtaking views. Over 900 meters high, it provides a panoramic view of the city, a sight that will surely inspire awe. The hill is accessible by a scenic cable car ride and boasts a gourmet restaurant at the summit. It's a perfect spot for a leisurely walk, a hearty meal, and capturing stunning landscape images. ◄
