Itinerary

Prima Scoala Romaneasca

Passing by

Your tour begins at the First Romanian School, one of Brașov's most important cultural landmarks. Home to the oldest Romanian manuscripts and first books printed in Romanian, this complex in the Schei neighborhood represents the heart of early Romanian literacy.
Saint Nicholas Cathedral

Passing by

St. Nicholas Church is one of Brașov's oldest Orthodox churches, dating to the 14th century. Located in the Schei neighborhood, it was the spiritual center of the Romanian community for centuries and still stands as a beautiful example of medieval religious architecture.
Weavers Bastion or Bastionul Tesatorilor

Passing by

The Weavers' Bastion is one of Brașov's best-preserved medieval defense towers, built by the weavers' guild in the 15th century. Its sturdy walls and towers once protected the city and now house a history museum with fascinating local exhibits.
Schei Gate

Passing by

The Șchei Gate is a 15th-century stone gateway that once marked the boundary between the Saxon inner city and the Romanian Schei neighborhood. Passing through it meant crossing between two distinct worlds that coexisted in medieval Brașov.
Catherine's Gate

Passing by

Catherine's Gate is the only original medieval gate still standing in Brașov, built around 1559. Its four corner turrets symbolized the city's right to execute capital punishment, marking Brașov's status as a major Transylvanian trading power.
Stop 6

Passing by

The Neolog Synagogue, built in 1901 in Moorish Revival style, is one of Brașov's most striking architectural landmarks. It stands as a testament to the city's once-thriving Jewish community and features an ornate facade that demands a closer look.
Black Church

Passing by

The Black Church is the largest Gothic church in Romania, built between 1383 and 1477. Its dramatic name comes from the fire of 1689 that blackened its walls. Inside you'll find one of Europe's finest collections of Oriental carpets, donated by Transylvanian merchants.
Stop 8

Passing by

Built in the 16th century by Lucas Hirscher, the wealthy mayor of Brașov, this Renaissance merchant house is one of the finest secular buildings in the city. Standing on the edge of the main square, it reflects the ambition of Brașov's merchant elite — designed to impress and endure. Your audio guide tells the story of the man behind it and what his legacy reveals about power in this city.
Piaka Sfatului

Passing by

Piața Sfatului is the heart of Brașov — a wide medieval square that has served as market, meeting place, and stage for the city’s most important moments for over 700 years. Surrounded by merchant houses, churches, and civic buildings, it’s where the power of the city has always been on display. Your audio guide brings the square’s layers to life, from medieval trade fairs to modern-day life.
Casa Sfatalui

Passing by

The Old Town Hall has overlooked Piața Sfatului for centuries, serving as the seat of Brașov’s city council and a symbol of civic authority. Today it houses the Brașov History Museum, but its façade still anchors the square as it always has. Your audio guide ends here — reflecting on the institutions and individuals that shaped this city, from the medieval council to the patrons whose buildings still define the skyline.

Meeting point and pickup

Everyone meets at the meeting point.

Meeting point

Meet at the entrance of Prima Școală Românească (First Romanian School), located on Piața Unirii in the heart of Brașov's old town. Look for the historic stone building — the museum entrance is on the square.

End point

The tour ends at Casa Sfatului (Old Town Hall) on Piața Sfatului, Brașov's central square. The Black Church and many cafés are steps away.
