The main gateway to Transylvania!

A picturesque town with a medieval appearance, Brasov is the most important city in all of Transylvania, as well as the second in importance and number of inhabitants in all of Romania. Located in a depression of the Southern Carpathians, the city is a cluster of alleys and suggestive streets and baroque facades, and the famous Mount Tampa as a frame.

Brasov is an extremely suggestive town; the splendid Black Church, and the famous Bastions, indelible testimony of its ancient fortifications and walls.

Brasov is also the focal point of all of Transylvania, near the famous Bran Castle and Rasnov Fortress, and just over 150 km from Bucharest.

HOW TO GET TO BRASOV

AIRPLANE

The city does not have an airport, however, those wishing to use this means (recommended) can refer to Bucharest or, alternatively, to the small airport of Sibiu.

Considering the widest offer, it is advisable to make a stopover in Bucharest, about 170 kilometers away. From here, by bus and train, you can easily reach your destination. The train is the cheapest way: it takes about 2 and a half hours, with prices from 48.6lei per person.

The bus (Jetcab) takes the same time, but costs almost double the train: 90lei.
