Brașov in February
Not the best time
February tests your winter tolerance with the year's harshest weather. But accommodation prices hit rock bottom and you'll have the fairy-tale snowy city mostly to yourself.
Weather
February brings the coldest temperatures of the year, often dipping to -5°C at night while barely reaching 6°C during the day. Snow remains heavy, and bitter winds sweep down from the Carpathians. The month stays dry despite the snow.

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.
