Brașov, Romania

Rope Street (Strada Sforii)

Type: historic street / curiosity

Strada Sforii is one of the narrowest streets in Europe and one of the most famous attractions of old Brașov. It was created in the 17th century as a passage between city blocks, and at certain points it is barely just over one meter wide. The street is about 80 meters long and connects two parallel streets in the historic center. Today it is a popular spot for a short walk and photography during a tour of the old town.

Tickets

Entry: 🟢 Free entry

Free access throughout the day. The street is especially photogenic in the early morning hours when there are no crowds.

⛰️ Heads up: Hilly approach — the uphill section may add about 25 percent to the walking time to the attraction.
