I’m really excited to interview Marius Iliescu of Romanian Friend about Brasov, Romania. Marius’ tips for the best things to do in Brasov are awesome because he runs a tour company throughout Romania and is reminded of Brasov’s medieval history every time he walks through its Old Town area.

Getting around Brasov
The local airport is Brașov-Ghimbav International Airport (GHV), which is about a 20-minute drive from Brasov. Use our Expedia tool below to find flight, hotel, and rental car options.
Marius says that there’s no need to rent a car when staying in the Old Town area of Brasov. It is very walkable, and public transportation is a good option. Uber and Lyft are excellent ways to get around.
If you decide to travel outside the city, renting a car is a smart choice. For the best rental car offers, visit Avis, Budget, or Hertz.
