The Brașov City Guides answer what visitors actually ask: where locals go for mici and ciorbă, how to see the Saxon walls and towers in a sensible order, which castles are worth the bus ride and where the evening goes once the main square empties. Every guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look out for and one practical tip per place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Sergiana
Strada Mureșenilor 28, old town
A vast vaulted cellar owned by a meat producer, so the sausages, smoked pork and cured slănină come straight from its own farms. Plates are generous, and crackling often lands on the table before you have ordered. From the food guide.
The White Tower
Above Strada După Ziduri, Warthe hill
A horseshoe-shaped watchtower set on the slope above the city walls. You may find the door locked, but the terrace outside looks across the old town roofs to Tâmpa, one of the finest views in Brașov. From the things to do guide.
Peleș Castle
Sinaia, 1 h by train, then a 25-min uphill walk
The neo-Renaissance palace of King Carol I, among the first in Europe to have electricity and central heating. Inside, every room is thick with carved wood, armour and stained glass. Tickets are sold online only, for timed tours. From the mountains and day trips guide.
