MOUNT TÂMPA

Braşov is dominated by this massive presence, offering fantastic views from the top.

The mountain that saw the first defense fortress of the city now features a Hollywood-inspired sign that reads ‘Braşov’. Following a cable car ride to the top of the mountain (or a hike starting from Mount Postăvaru in Poiana Braşov, and heading through Mount Cristianul Mare in the Tâmpa Mountains), visitors are treated to a spectacular view of the entire city.
