Brașov Old Town

A Saxon town centre tucked between forested hills — the Black Church, Council Square, narrow streets.

About

Brașov was Kronstadt to its Saxon founders, a Habsburg outpost in the Ottoman frontier. The Black Church (Biserica Neagră) is the largest Gothic church between Vienna and Istanbul and still hosts Sunday services in German. Climb the Tâmpa cable car at sunset for the wide view back over the town and the spread of forested hills behind it.
