Tour description
Brașov is one of the most beautiful cities in Transylvania, a medieval Saxon town of Gothic churches, pastel merchant houses and old defensive walls, cradled by the Carpathian Mountains. Rich in history and legend, it is a delight to explore. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its story.
You will stroll the grand Council Square, stand before the mighty Black Church, and wander the narrowest street in the city. Along the way you will hear about the Saxon settlers, the guilds and the nearby castles of Transylvania. Charming and historic, Brașov is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
