Brașov Council Square

Nestled within the forested Transylvanian Carpathian Mountains, Brașov is famous for its beautiful old town square resplendent with gothic, baroque and renaissance architecture. Built by Saxon settlers, the buildings have a distinctively Germanic look, making it a great alternative to the more expensive, less easy to permit (and control) town squares of Germany. As well as the picture perfect cobblestoned Council Square, other locations of note include the Black Church, Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church, Neolog Jewish temple, and numerous city fortifications (Brasov Fortress, Graft Bastion, Blacksmiths’ Bastion, Weavers’ Bastion, White Tower, Black Tower, Catherine’s Gate, and Schei Gate). Brasov is home to Rope Street, one of Europe’s narrowest streets. Aerial views of the city can be seen from Mount Tâmpa. Brașov is for sure an excellent location to film period pieces.

Bran Castle, the home of Count Dracula, is located a short 30 minute drive from Brașov.
