Statistics about Brașov provide valuable context for understanding the city and region's position within Romanian tourism and broader economic patterns. From visitor numbers and seasonal trends to demographic data and economic indicators, statistics help travelers and residents alike understand how the area is changing and what to expect.
Tourism statistics reveal Brașov's position as one of Romania's top destinations. Annual visitor numbers, occupancy rates, and average length of stay all inform decisions about when to visit and what conditions to expect. Seasonal patterns show dramatic differences between peak periods around Christmas, New Year, and ski season versus quieter shoulder months when attractions are less crowded and prices more moderate.
Demographic statistics paint a picture of Brașov as a city of approximately 250,000 residents, making it Romania's seventh-largest city. The broader metropolitan area and Brașov County add significantly to this population. Understanding the resident population helps contextualize tourist impact—Brașov is a real city with locals going about daily life, not a purpose-built tourist destination.
Economic statistics show Brașov's diversified economy extending well beyond tourism. Manufacturing, particularly automotive industries, remains significant. IT and business services have grown substantially. Construction continues transforming the urban landscape. Tourism's share of the local economy, while important, represents one sector among many—contributing to the authentic urban character that distinguishes Brașov from resort towns.
Climate statistics inform travel planning with data on average temperatures, precipitation, and snow cover throughout the year. Historical patterns help travelers anticipate conditions during their planned visit, though climate variability means actual weather may differ from averages. Snow statistics particularly interest winter visitors planning ski trips.
Transportation statistics track the growing connectivity reshaping access to the region. Airport passenger numbers have climbed rapidly since Brașov-Ghimbav opened. Road traffic data shows increasing car arrivals. Train ridership patterns reveal how rail connections serve the tourism and commuter markets. These trends suggest continued growth in visitor accessibility.
