All Months
May through October gives you the best weather and longest days. Summer temperatures hover around 25°C (77°F), perfect for hiking the Postăvaru massif or exploring Bran Castle. But July and August bring crowds — Council Square fills with tour buses and restaurant prices spike. September is the sweet spot. Weather stays warm, leaves start turning, and you'll have the medieval streets mostly to yourself. Winter transforms Brașov into a Christmas market wonderland, but temperatures drop to -10°C (14°F) and daylight ends by 4 PM. Spring comes late here — April can still bring snow, though the mountain wildflowers are worth the unpredictable weather. Here's what locals know: October offers the best hiking weather and the fewest tourists.
