Piața Sfatului

Start in the main square, lined with colorful facades and cafés, and take in the silhouette of the Casa Sfatului in the center. Set aside about an hour to get your bearings, photograph the buildings, and take a break: access to the square is free, while coffee and breakfast typically cost 20–45 RON per person.

The square is a good meeting point for any guided walking tours.

11:30

Black Church

Walk to the large Gothic church, just a few minutes from the square, and take in the size of the building and the details of the façade. Allow about 45–75 minutes for the visit; admission may cost roughly 20–40 RON, but check the official website for prices, accessibility, and visiting arrangements.

Respect the signs about silence and the appropriate dress code for places of worship.

13:00

Sforii Street

Continue on foot to this narrow passage between the houses, a short stop to add to your route through the old town. The alley is crossed quickly: notice the proportions and glimpses of the walls, without lingering too long if it’s crowded; the visit is free. For lunch, plan on 45–60 minutes in the area and an estimated budget of 40–80 RON per person.

Keep the passage clear and remember that the space is narrow.

15:00

White Tower and Black Tower

Reach the towers with an uphill walk from the center and choose shoes with good grip: some stretches are steep and paved. Allow about 1.5–2 hours in total for the climb, stops, and views over Brașov’s rooftops; access to the scenic routes may be free, while any services or entry fees can vary. Check the official website or tourist information to see which access points are available on the day of your visit.

Bring water and consider the afternoon light for photos.

09:00

Poiana Brașov

From Brașov, reach the resort by bus or taxi: the journey usually takes about 30–45 minutes, but traffic and connections can make it longer; expect roughly 5–15 RON for a bus ride and a higher fare for a taxi. Spend the day on a walk suited to the season, a lunch break in the area, and, if you want to head higher up, on the ski lifts, which can cost roughly 50–120 RON; check routes, conditions, and tickets on the official channels before setting off.

In the mountains, the weather changes quickly: check local conditions and choose a route that matches your experience.

08:00

Bran Castle

Depart from Brașov for Bran: the road distance is about 30 km and the trip can take 40–60 minutes, while by public transport the timing depends on connections. Allow around 1.5–2 hours for the castle and the surrounding area; the ticket may roughly range between 70 and 120 RON, so check prices, reservations, and access methods on the official website. You can have breakfast before leaving or plan a short break in the village.

Visiting times and entry conditions may change: check the official details before arranging your transfer.

11:00

Râșnov Fortress

From Bran, continue to Râșnov, about 15 km away: by car the journey normally takes 20–30 minutes, but allow extra time for traffic and parking. Set aside 60–90 minutes for the fortress area and the views over the valley; access costs or any shuttle links may vary, so check the official website for which areas can be visited and at what price. Plan a snack or a simple lunch here before moving on.

Check the official information in advance about access to the fortress and any works or restrictions.

14:00

Libearty Bear Sanctuary (Zărnești)

Reach the sanctuary in the Zărnești area, about 10–15 km from Râșnov, and arrive with the required reservation: visits are organized according to methods and availability that should be checked directly with the facility. Allow at least 1.5–2 hours for the local transfer and guided visit, and consider an estimated cost of 80–150 RON per person, to be confirmed on the official website. Follow the guide’s instructions and behave respectfully around the animals.

Book in advance and check the official website for visit times, meeting point, access conditions, and rates.
