Introduction

Public restrooms play a pivotal role in the development of Brașov, contributing to daily comfort for residents and creating a welcoming experience for visitors. From high-tech facilities to reliable pay-per-use options, the city offers several ways to access clean, well-maintained restrooms. Here's where to find them and what to expect.

Fully automated smart toilets

Brașov's newest smart toilets feature touch-free buttons, automatic soap and water dispensers, hand dryers, and generous interior layouts that are wheelchair-friendly. Anti-vandal stainless-steel fixtures include safety sensors that monitor usage and keep every visitor secure.

Six units are operational in Piața Sf. Ioan, along Pietonalul Uranus, Parcul Trandafirilor, Parcul Tractorul, Livada Poștei, and Scuarul Berzei, with plans to add eight more across the city by year-end. Access is currently free of charge, making them the most convenient option when you're out exploring.

Classic public restrooms

Brașov also maintains classic masonry restroom buildings, many of which now include automated payment kiosks. Entry costs 2 lei and can be paid using 1 or 5 lei notes, contactless cards, or 50 bani coins. These facilities remain dependable and well-kept, especially in busy parts of the city.

Look for them in Piața Astra, the Brașov Central Train Station, the historic centre, Parcul Central, and along the path beneath Tâmpa near the cable car. They're ideal if you prefer a staffed location or need a restroom while sightseeing.
