 Brasov Agentia de Voiaj CFR by HORSCHECK
Train tickets are sold in the station office only about 1 hour before the train departs, this is due to the slow seat allocation and reservation system.
An alternative is to buy your tickets at one of the CFR booking offices (Agentia de Voiaj CFR). They can be found in most towns and sell tickets in advance but usually not for same day travel.
We bought our ticket from Brasov to Bucharest at the CFR booking office of Brasov. It is located a 15 minutes walk northeast of the Town Hall Square (Piata Sfatului).
Address: Agentia de Voiaj CFR, B-dul 15 Noiembrie nr. 43, Brasov Leave a Comment

We arrived and left Brasov by train from/to Bucharest.
In Romania the train fares depend on the type of train, which means that fast trains can cost more than double the price than regional trains.
In 2007 an ICE ticket Bucharest to Brasov was 38,80 RON and the journey took about 2,5 hours.
Please read my tip "Buying a train ticket in Romania" for more info.
Brasov has train connections to almost all bigger cities in Romania, as well as to some international destinations including Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava and Prague.
Brasov's train station is located about 2,5 km north of the city centre. The best way to get to town is the local bus no. 4 which goes to Piata Unirii in the city centre. Leave a Comment

 Rasnov to Brasov bus by HORSCHECK
Autogara 1 can be found right next to the train station. Buses to Bucharest leave from here.
Our bus to Rasnov and Bran left from Autogara 2 which is located about 2,5 km north of the city centre just near the Bartholomeus Church.
Tickets can usually be bought directly from the driver. The ticket to Rasnov was 2,00 RON and to Bran 3,50 RON (October 2007). Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

You can get to the summit of Brasov's Tampa Mountain by either walking or by cable car (Telecabina Tampa).
The cable car runs daily except Mondays from 10:00 h until 18:00 h. A return trip costs 8,00 RON (October 2007).
The base station can be found at Aleea Tiberiu Brediceanu; just 10 minutes walk south of the Town Hall Square (Piata Sfatului). The journey to the top station (960 m) at the Restaurant Panoramic takes only 2:20 minutes.
Please read my General Tip "Overview from Tampa Mountain" for more info. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Brasov has an extensive bus network which is run by RATBv (Regia Autonoma Transport Brasov). They usually operate from 5:30 h until midnight. Some special night services are in operation as well.
The main bus stop in the city centre is Livada Postei. Important routes are number 4 which links the train station with the city centre and number 20 which runs to Poiana Brasov.
Tickets can be brought from RATBv kiosks or from newsagent's kiosks. A single ticket costs 1,50 RON and has to be validated when boarding the bus. The route to Poiana Brasov (bus #20) costs 3,50 RON (October 2007). Leave a Comment

 Taxis in Brasov by HORSCHECK
If for any reason you have to take a taxi, make sure that your hotel or a local person orders you the taxi. At least make sure that it is a taxi from one of the bigger reliable companies and that the taxi meter is switched on.
Taxis have the rates (base fee, price per km, price per hour) displayed on the outside of the car. When we were in Brasov the price per km was about 1,30 RON (October 2007).
Most of the Taxis in Romania are the local Dacia Logan cars. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Brasov's city centre is best explored on foot, especially as many streets in the historic city centre are pedestrianised.
There are also many small alleys which aren't accessible to cars or buses.
When wandering around the streets just make sure to have a look at the upper parts of the house facades.
If you are tired from walking you can still catch a local bus and get back to your starting point. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

When you are at the train station in Brasov, you will probably notice white fans parked outside. These microbuses, as the locals call them, offer cheap and fast transportatoin to Bucharest and other cities. If you are going to Sinaia, take one of the buses going to Bucharest as it will stop in Sinaia along the way.
The vans do not leave until they are full or near capacity. Buy a ticket as soon as you arrive at the train station and take a seat near the front of the van. There is a storage area in the back, but space is limited. If you have a lot of bags, you might have to take the train. Tickets cost a couple of dollars. Theme: Bus
