This is the heart of the city. With so many nearby restaurants and cafes, this is a vibrant area with locals and tourists. You can have a seat and watch people carrying bags from their shopping. Just around the corner from Old Town is the historic Black Church.

This city gate is located some 500 metres west from the city centre and stands as the only one original city gate that has survived from that time. It dates back to 1559 and it was a replacement of an old city gate destroyed by the flood in 1528. It is named after St. Catherine's Monastery. Four small corner turrets around the main tower symbolize judicial autonomy of the city. Don't miss.

Beautiful synagogue with a holocaust memorial right next to it, this was a lovely introduction to synagogues to me. There's a small fee to enter but it's well worth it to see the details of the inside decor. There are restrooms on the outside of the synagogue, on the opposite side of where the memorial is. Have to admit I'm not entirely sure about the opening hours as the synagogue seemed to be closed when we first arrived, then open a little bit later, and closed as soon as we left it.

While I wouldn’t make a trip to Braşov just to visit this paved path along the medieval protective city walls, it is a must-see when you are already in the Old City. The running brook, archways, paved path, and benches make it an enjoyable respite away from the pace of the city. Most sites are locked up, but worth walking around— the “black” tower, the white tower and the door to the catacombs. I came here again and again simply to hear the running water. Simply stop and enjoy where nature meets history.

This place is like a fairytale. It is perfectly located in the top of the hill and has amazing views of the villages nearby. We loved to walk around, enjoying the site and the breathtaking views. The entry fee was 15 RON/person and you can pay either cash or with a card. The lady from the entrance was extremely polite and helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you stay in Brasov or you travel to Sighisoara or Viscri. It is an 1 hour ride from Brasov

Its worth to take a walk along the old city walls, with its bastions, shows how the old Brasov looked like once in the middle ages. Takes you back in time and is a nice view of the city.
