Brașov is a city in Romania and the administrative centre of Brașov County. You usually get to see Brasov on the way if you visit the Transylvania castles, such as Dracula's castle.

Brașov is located in the central part of the country, about 166 kilometres north of Bucharest and 380 kilometres from the Black Sea. It is surrounded by the Southern Carpathians and is part of the Transylvania region.

The city is notable for being an important centre of Transylvanian Saxons in the past, and a large commercial hub on the trade roads between East and West. It is also the birthplace of the national anthem of Romania.
