Field notes

Transylvanian mountain city at the foot of the Carpathians — genuinely beautiful Saxon old town, real ski access (Poiana Brașov 20 min away). Same Romanian DNV (~€3,300/mo, 1-year) as Bucharest. Schengen since 2024. Roughly 25% cheaper than Bucharest for similar internet quality. The town is small (under 250K) — thinner coworking density than the capital but a few solid options. Continental mountain climate; cold winters (regular snow), warm summers (peaks 25°C average).

Mountain humid continental — Carpathian elevation makes winters meaningfully colder than Bucharest (Jan -3°C average with regular snow). Summers are mild-warm (peak 19°C average). Real four seasons. Poiana Brașov ski season runs December–March; the trekking and trail-running summer is the other anchor.
