About this tour
This session rides the cable car up Mount Tîmpa above Brasov's old town. You see the view widen as the cable car climbs, then reach the top beside the hillside letters spelling the city's name. The session stays at the viewpoint for a proper look before descending.
We open with a short sound check partway up the climb. I keep a brief, practical pace and take questions once we reach the top. Afterwards I send a short list of the buildings named from above.
This suits anyone wanting a wide view over Brasov early in a visit. It also works well before the more detailed old town walks.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city

A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Sarmale (stuffed cabbage rolls) and Șchei, worth a slower look.
Good to know
