Brasov is growing steadily from an economic point of view. This city is a driver of development in the central region, being extremely competitive in terms of GDP per capita and labor productivity.

Fast & Easy Commute
Experts say that Brasov has the best infrastructure in the country. One can get to the opposite part of the town in a 15 minute-drive on a regular day. Parking can be an issue in the center of the city, but this is because Brasov is visited by more than 1 million tourists every year and growing.

Many young people use their bikes for both getting to work and having fun: here, mountain biking is a popular sport. So is skiing.

July 14, 2019 at 12:39 pm EDTWell, if 30% of the popullation would move to Brașov, then all those advantages of which you are talking about would disappear: the traffic would be horrible, green spaces would be turned into parkings and blocks and the list of negative effects could go on…moreover, not everyone can adapt to the cold and long winters here…

July 26, 2019 at 12:23 pm EDTThis percentage shows an intention, there will not be so many actions, for sure. But we know that Brasov is magic all throughout the year, attracting many people who want to enjoy its nature and leisure opportunities. I don’t think we can keep this a secret much longer. 🙂
