Overview

If you've just landed in Brașov, this is the tour to take! You will meet in front of the George Bariţiu Library and spend the next few hours walking through the medieval heart of one of Transylvania's most layered cities.

The route covers the essential landmarks - the White Tower and Black Tower on the southern fortification line, the Graft Bastion, Council Square at the heart of Saxon merchant life, the Black Church and Honterus Courtyard, Rope Street, Catherine's Gate, Schei Gate and the Weavers' Bastion.

This is an outdoor tour, designed to give you the historical framework, the architectural context, and the insider perspective that turns a collection of medieval buildings into a coherent storey about trade routes, religious conflict, guild power, Saxon fortifications, and the centuries of overlapping cultures that built this city. You will not enter any of the sites.
