🎄 One of our top 10 European Christmas markets
Spend a Christmas at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains in Brasov. The Transylvanian town comes alive every winter with its market in the Council Square. Stop by the wooden stalls for a chimney cake and vin fiert mulled wine pairing, followed by ice skating around the 30m Christmas tree.
Brasov in December is more than its Christmas markets. Big and small come in equal measure here. We’d recommend visiting the Black Church at nighttime – you can’t miss it as it’s the largest Gothic church in Eastern Europe. Then get into a tight spot at Rope Street, one of Europe’s narrowest streets, measuring in at 111cm in parts.
About Brasov
Nestled in the heart of the Carpathian Mountains in central Romania, Brașov packs medieval charm and traditional culture everywhere you turn. It’s the sixth most-populated city in Romania, behind places including Bucharest, Constanta and Timisoara.
Brașov’s old town is a picturesque maze of cobblestone streets, colourful buildings and historic landmarks. Make sure to visit the 14th-century Biserica Neagră (Black Church) and uncover the symbol of medieval heritage. Whether you stroll the streets at Piaţa Sfatului (council square) or climb the Citadel for panoramic views, it's easy to be immersed in the magic of Transylvania.
Brașov's proximity to the Transylvanian Alps provides outdoor enthusiasts with opportunities for hiking, skiing, and exploring pristine landscapes. Ride the cable car to the peak of Mount Tampa for sweeping skylines.
With an enchanting blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and medieval charm, you'll fall in love with Brașov.
