§ 01 — About Brașov

Brașov is a Saxon medieval town at 600m altitude in the Transylvanian foothills, with a 15-minute-wide Old Town anchored on Piața Sfatului and the Black Church (Biserica Neagră). Backpackers come for the day-trip trifecta — Bran Castle (the Dracula one), Râșnov fortress, the Libearty bear sanctuary at Zărnești — and stay for the cheap-and-cheerful Romanian price point (€17 dorms, €4-6 mains, €1.50 beer). Six quality hostels span the Old Town pedestrianised core (Centrum House on Republicii itself), the apartment-style small-host model (Vintage Downtown's Osaka drives the bear-sanctuary trip himself), the highest-rated 9.3 train-station value pick (Zozo near Gara Brașov), the mountain-view fringe (Transylvania Guest House with Carpathian view from front rooms), the boutique king-size-bunk option (SECRET boutique), and the chill Saxon-side-street pick (JugendStube on Strada Michael Weiss).
