About the tour

The only free walking tour of Brasov at night! Experience Brasov’s mysterious atmosphere and find out its dark secrets during an interactive and fun tour, tailored to your needs and interests.

The saying: "All cats are grey in the dark” certainly does not apply here as Brasov is fantastic at night. In case you have already visited the old city, you will be surprised to see that after dark Brasov is even more fascinating.

I have been living in Brasov for over 20 years so with me with me you are safe. We shall explore together the city like a local, getting off the tourist-beaten tracks but without missing the main attractions. The most exciting part of the tour is a walk on the alley at the foot of Tâmpa Mountain, for you to enjoy a great view of the city at night.

The two-hour free walking tour of the old city of Brasov includes the top key points: the Council Square, the Black Church, the Rope Street, Catherine Gate, Schei Gate, the Weavers bastion, a scenic walk along the alley at the foot of Tâmpa Mountain, a great view of the most picturesque Romanian city and much more.

IMPORTANT: It is a BOOKING-BASED tour.

- For logistical reasons, please book the tour at least a day before the tour starts. My groups are small and intimitate so the sooner you save your place, the better...

- If you are a large group, please warn me and the tour will run only for you (no additional cost). I have had very nice experiences with large families, including kids or large groups of students.

- Please be kind to warn me if you cannot show up, you might be the only one who has booked the tour..
