Mysteries of Transylvania: Free Tour of Braşov's Old Town

Travel back to the Middle Ages in Brașov! On this unique tour, we'll explore the Black Church and historic city walls amid laughter, fascinating legends, and a touch of garlic... just in case Dracula gets hungry! Book today!

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Kronstadt, the medieval name for Braşov! Don’t worry—we’ll leave the myths of Transylvania for the photos; you’ll leave here with your blood intact and the legends alive.

Today we’re venturing into an authentic Saxon fortress nestled among the mountains, and we’ll be exploring: - The old city gate. - St. John’s Square. - The Franciscan Church: a church with two faces. - Matei Corvin’s Inn: the king who liked to be a peasant. - The Black Church: Romania’s most iconic Gothic masterpiece. - Piața Sfatului: a medieval court square—the perfect spot for a good cup of coffee. - Ecaterini Gate: the last remaining medieval gate, straight out of a fairy tale. - The Weavers’ Bastion: the fortress built to defend the city. - Behind the city walls. - The White Tower and the Black Tower: the eyes that always watch. See you in Brașov!!!
