Rope Street (Strada Sforii)
Strada Sforii
One of Europe's narrowest streets, about 1.1 to 1.3 m wide and roughly 80 m long, its walls covered in graffiti. A popular photo spot in the old town.
Rope Street connects Boyarna Street in the old town with a path below the city walls. At its narrowest it is only about 1.1 m wide, so with your arms outstretched you can almost touch both walls. It was originally a passage for firefighters to get through quickly. Today the walls are covered with graffiti and couples' messages, making it one of Brașov's most popular photo spots. It is free and open all day, though it is busier with photographers during the day and quieter early in the morning. It is a 5-minute walk from Council Square, and once you exit the lane, you can follow the walls to Catherine's Gate and the Schei district.
