MOUNT TAMPA

Mount Tampa stands majestically over Brasov, like an ancient Saxon knight, guarding the city from potential enemies.

 

Tampa can not be missed due to the giant white Brasov sign which decorates the side of the mountain.

 

The mountain is situated beside the southeast of the old centre and if one is energetic enough  is well worth strolling up the path to the top of the mountain for some amazing panoramic views of Brasov and the surrounding valley.

 

For those who are not up to the walk up the mountain. The cable car, which operates on most days, will whisk you up in less than 5 minutes. Plus there is a cafe/restaurant at the top of the mountain.

 

Mount Tampa is well worth visit especially on a clear day and if the weather is warm we recommend taking a picnic up with you and take a leisurely stroll down the mountain. Of course do not forget your camera as there will be amazing opportunities to capture different views of Brasov.
