The story

Brasov Christmas Market in Brasov

The Brasov Christmas Market, known locally as the Christkindlesmarkt, sets up each winter at the foot of Tampa mountain near the Weavers' Bastion, close to the Black Church and Council Square, with an ice rink, festive shows, contests, a Miss Craciunita pageant, and a bison conservation charity drive.

At the foot of Tampa mountain, where the Weavers' Bastion still stands as part of Brasov's historic fortification system, the city's Christmas market transforms one of its most atmospheric medieval corners into a seasonal gathering place each winter.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

Its program goes beyond typical market stalls to include organized entertainment such as the Cei cinci de la ora cinci show, an ice rink with skating contests, a Miss Craciunita (Miss Little Christmas) pageant, and an Adopta un zimbru charity initiative supporting European bison conservation, giving the market a distinctly local civic and charitable dimension alongside its shopping and food offerings
