The Council Square

The city of Brasov, with its charming old town, colorful townhouses, and narrow streets, boasts the Black Church, the old town hall, and watchtowers offering stunning views of the entire city. It also boasts a picturesque market square with the town hall and fountains, surrounded by shops, cafes, and museums. Lovely place to see

Brasov Council Square is the heart of the city and a great place to linger. Colorful buildings frame the square, and you’ll often hear street music mixing with the chatter from busy cafes. The mountain backdrop makes it easy to stop for photos. It can get crowded in the middle of the day, so mornings or evenings are better if you want space to explore.

A very nice almost Mediterranean square with lots of cafes, confectionery & shops. However, it is quite touristic and so more expensive than other areas of Romania. A couple decent museums and lots of interesting history

Lots of restaurants, coffee, and dessert establishments. Has an old town look and charm. Family friendly and safe. Fountain and places to sit and eat dinner. Historic area.

One of the most beautiful and lively squares I’ve visited in Romania. Council Square is the real heart of Brașov – surrounded by colorful historic buildings, plenty of cafés, and always buzzing with life. In the center you’ll find the old Council House with its clock tower, which gives the whole place a timeless charm. It’s the perfect spot to start exploring: the Black Church is just around the corner, Republicii Street leads you to shops and restaurants, and if you look up you’ll see the “Brașov” sign on Mount Tâmpa. During the day it feels vibrant with tourists, street performers, and children playing by the fountain. In the evening, the atmosphere becomes more relaxed and romantic. I recommend grabbing a coffee or dessert on one of the terraces and simply people-watching. Clean, well-maintained, pedestrian-friendly, and full of history – a must-see when in Brașov!

A very wonderful square that is definitely worth visiting! The best thing is that when you find yourself in this square, besides the beauty of the buildings and surroundings, you also have an amazing view of the Brașov hills.

Brasov s most important square! History is everywhere. Full with restaurants, bars, coffee shops!

A very pleasant and cozy square. It may get a bit touristy, but still manages to feel laid-back and relaxed. Right in the middle stands the old town hall, now a museum, and around it you’ll find plenty of cafés, restaurants, and churches – including the famous Black Church, the largest Gothic church in Romania. If you look up, you’ll spot the “Hollywood-style” Brașov sign lit up on the hill at night. A bit cheesy? Sure. But somehow, it fits perfectly. :) michaelnae-->(instagram)
