About Brasov and the Transylvania Region: An aura of mystery and intrigue abounds in this ancient storied region of Transylvania. Brasov is a medieval city with a resounding ring of authenticity. As the entrance to Transylvania, you’ll find a peace and quiet here not present in more modern places. The pace of life slows down, and your shoulders relax. You’ll see mountains and forests, centuries old landmarks that are open to guests and visitors and the modern-day interpretation of life in a small village. Just 1 KM away is City Council Square, the historic center of Brasov. As you wind your way there down narrow cobblestone streets, you’ll take in a mixture baroque, gothic, and Renaissance architecture. Enjoy a beverage at one of the outdoor cafes, as you marvel at the rainbow of building facades and listen to the chime of a 13th century clock tower. In addition to the Council Square, don’t miss the First Romanian School, built around 1500 and the Church of St. Nicholas established in 1292. These are just a short 100 meter walk away. One more thing to put on your to-see list is the Strada Sforii “Rope Street”, it is believed to be one of the narrowest streets in Europe
