You might be free to wander around today, but Citadel hasn't always been so welcoming! Learn the story behind this stronghold and exactly what it was designed to defend.

When you've finished at this history-filled fortress in Brasov Old Town, why not check out Poiana Brasov Ski Resort, Piata Sfatului, and Black Church? They're not very far from Citadel and also a favorite with many tourists.

My stay at this apartment was quite comfortable and very satisfying. It's close to shopping, bus line and metro rail. Could not have asked for a nicer and cleaner place.
