Council Square in Brașov, with Tâmpa mountain in the background

With children, Brașov is pleasant to explore on foot from the old town: pedestrian streets, large squares and sights close to one another. Accommodation with a kitchen and space to relax in the inner courtyard gives your family plenty of options for meals and downtime.

What to do with kids in the centre

  • Council Square: wide, traffic-free space, good for a stroll.
  • Rope Street (Strada Sforii), one of the narrowest streets in Europe; children remember it easily.
  • Tâmpa mountain, with its cable car; check the timetable and the weather.
  • Lunch or a coffee on Republicii Street; see also Top 10 restaurants.

Short trips

A few kilometres from the city are Poiana Brașov, Râșnov and Bran Castle. Each of these trips takes around half a day. Opening hours and tickets change, so check them before you go.

What to look for in family accommodation

  1. An equipped kitchen, for meals outside restaurant hours.
  2. The actual number of beds and the maximum capacity.
  3. A washing machine, useful for a longer stay.
  4. The walking distance to Council Square.
