Step into Brașov’s medieval heart on this immersive self-guided walking tour. Wander from the Grand Council Square into hidden lanes behind the city walls, cross medieval bastions, and climb to the White Tower for sweeping views over one of Transylvania’s most beautiful towns. Along the way, uncover how Saxon settlers built and defended this powerful trading city, while Romanian communities preserved their identity just beyond the gates. Hear stories of guilds, fortifications, secret passages, and forgotten waterways — plus surprising tales like Vlad the Impaler’s lost love in Brașov. You’ll explore landmarks like the Graft Bastion, După Ziduri, Șcheii Brașovului, and St. Nicholas Church, discovering how different cultures shaped the city side by side. With GPS-guided stops, engaging audio stories, and complete freedom to explore at your own pace, this tour lets you experience Brașov not just as a postcard town, but as a living story carved in stone, streets, and legends.
