1. Brasov. The 7th most populous city in Romania, Brasov was formed in 1211 when King Andrew II of Hungary ordered the Teutonic Knights to fortify the borders of what was then the Kingdom of Hungary. Today's knights have long since disappeared, but due to the cities position as a significant node on the trade routes between East and West, Brasov continued to grow. Today, Brasov is full of Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance architecture and a lot of curious historical attractions - such as the Black Church, the largest Gothic church after the one in Vienna. The medieval vibes emanating here make Brasov an intoxicating and unmissable attraction in Transylvania.
