📍 Destination Overview
Brasov, ringed by the Carpathians, is Transylvania's most charming medieval town and the gateway to castle-and-vampire country. Built by Saxon settlers, its old town is marked by the Black Church, Romania's largest Gothic church, and Council Square with gabled Baroque houses and a clock tower, beneath a giant BRASOV sign on Mount Tampa.
