Brașov Guide & Tips

I really recommend this part of the old town, and better yet, very few tourists know about it in comparison to the busy old town. This village-like section of the town is mostly made up of small houses built along narrow roads with gardens and small fields on the sides of the mountains. Until the 17th century, the inhabitants of Şchei were forbidden from owning property inside the city walls. You can easily spend half a day here walking around the neighbourhood, the narrow steep streets and Unirii square.
