Roșia Montană
A UNESCO-listed gold-mining village of wooden Roman-era galleries and 18th-century timber houses, now a fragile heritage site.
Not a day trip from Brașov
Roșia Montană is roughly 3h 55m from Brașov one way — about 8h in the car before you have seen anything. That makes a long journey rather than a good day, so we keep it out of the planner instead of selling you the drive.
Within a comfortable day we would point you at Sighișoara Historic Citadel, Bran Castle or Peles Castle.
