1Medieval princely courtCurtea Domnească și Turnul lui Ștefan cel Mare
What remains of the late-15th-century princely court: the Church of St John the Baptist, the 1499 bell tower and the cellars of the princely houses, now a museum.
Stephen's Tower is the symbol of the town and can be visited, with the princely church and the cellars right beside it.
Centrul istoric, Piața Libertății
2Gondola lift and viewpointTelegondola și Muntele Cozla
A 1.9 km gondola that climbs in about eight minutes from outside the station to the Cozla plateau at 632 m, with views over the town, Lake Bâtca Doamnei and Mount Ceahlău.
It is the easiest way to see the town and the surrounding mountains from above, and the operator keeps it open all year, weather permitting.
