Romania
A 3-day trip to Brașov & Transylvania
Fortified Saxon bastions, wild Carpathian roads, and untamed medieval villages.
Transylvania is frequently flattened into Bram Stoker folklore, but the reality on the ground is richer, grittier, and architecturally distinct. Framed by the Southern Carpathian Mountains, Brașov serves as the strategic tactical anchor for a landscape shaped by medieval German Saxons, Austrian monarchs, and fortified rural redoubts. Beyond the spires of the Black Church and the cobbled alleys of Council Square, Transylvania rewards those who leave the crowded tourist corridors for fortified stone churches, unhurried mountain highways, and quiet pastoral life.
