1. If you love laidback afternoons...

If you love the outdoors, then the best neighbourhood in Brasov for you is Noua-Dârste. The most recent district of Brasov has quickly evolved into a green oasis of the city.

… or you’re in search of thrills

However, thrill seekers will certainly prefer Aventura Park, the biggest adventure park in Eastern Europe. From route one to 15, every course is a challenge. Ideal for children and adults alike, the routes go from easy purple routes for small children to the entertaining blue routes to the more daring black route that takes the brave ones on a circuit at 20 meters (65ft) high. And if you didn’t get enough of being above ground, you can also try the awesome zip line.

If you’re an architecture lover…

Stunning architectural marvels and great restaurants are dotted throughout the Old Centre of the city. If you prefer medieval architecture, then a tour of the old walls, towers and churches of Brasov’s citadel will be a delight. You can start in the Council Square with the monumental Black Church and continue with the Black and the White Towers, where breathtaking views of the city open before your eyes. Inside the towers you’ll find photos and pictures of the city from days gone by, while outside you can continue your tour following the walls sited at the foothills of Tâmpa Hill. If you are more impressed by Renaissance, Classic and Baroque architecture, then lift your head up while strolling along Republicii Street and take in the array of wonderful buildings that line the street.

Republicii is also a great place to start a gastronomical journey as the best restaurants in town are located right on this street and around.

Way before the medieval citadel of Brasov was erected, Schei was a Romanian settlement, named Cătun, whose citizens were protecting the citadel on the Tâmpa Hill. Once the citadel was built, the settlement was left outside its walls, becoming the home of the Romanians from Brasov area. The neighbourhood is home to the 13th century Saint Nicholas Church, which became an important Orthodox centre. Next to it, stands the centre of education of the Schei citizens and the first Romanian school of Transylvania. Opened at the end of the 15th century, today it is a museum, and stands as a symbol of the Romanian schooling.

If you want to spend several days here, a great accommodation option in the neighbourhood is the Brasovul Vechi guesthouse, boasting a cosy yet elegant location.
