Why Mount Tampa matters
Tampa is the forested mountain right above the old town. A cable car climbs to the top in a few minutes, and from the terrace you see the whole town spread below, with the Black Church in the middle. The large letters of the Brasov sign mimic Hollywood's, and the sunset views are excellent.
Talking points
- The cable car runs from just outside the old town.
- A giant BRASOV sign sits on the slope.
- Hiking paths also lead up from the town.
