<p>Probably the best time to visit Sibiu is late <strong>spring and autumn</strong> . Then you can count on the most perfect conditions and no large crowds. Summer is usually too warm to explore the city.</p>

When to visit Sibiu?

<p>Sibiu&#39;s attractions are <strong>mainly focused around the old town</strong> , which is located in the city center. Be sure to plan a walk around the main square and also take a photo on <strong>the Bridge of Liars</strong> . Provided, of course, you dare to climb it.</p><h3> Piata Mare </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/rumunia/sybin/sybin-2.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Sibiu" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Piata Mare, Sibiu, Romania - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> The main square of the old town is <strong>Piata Mare</strong> . Throughout its history, it has played a variety of roles. It was a market square, a place where executions were carried out and various cultural events were organized. <strong>It is surrounded by nice tenement houses</strong> . It is worth paying attention to their roofs. They are equipped with protruding windows, which the inhabitants call <strong>&quot;eyes&quot;</strong> .</p><h3> Jesuit Church </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/rumunia/sybin/sybin-3.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Sibiu" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Jesuit Church, Sibiu, Romania - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> In the northern part of the square <strong>there is a Jesuit church</strong> (Biserica Romano-Catolică Sfânta Treime) dedicated to Holy Trinity. It was built in the first half of the 18th century. Its <strong>interior is very richly decorated</strong> . The dominant style is the baroque style, which, as we know, likes splendor and exaggeration.</p><h3> Turnul Sfatului </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/rumunia/sybin/sybin-4.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Sibiu" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Turnul Sfatului, Sibiu, Romania - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> To the north-east of the church there is <strong>the town hall tower</strong> (Turnul Sfatului). The gate at its base connects the Piata Mare, or large square, with the Miata Mica, or small square. The tower is also <strong>the best viewpoint in Sibiu.</strong> After entering one of the highest floors <strong>, you will be able to admire a vast panorama of the old town</strong> and further districts of the city. The tower can be visited every day from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.</p><h3> Fifth Mica </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/rumunia/sybin/sibiu-piata-mica.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Sibiu Sibiu" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Piata Mica, Sibiu, Romania - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> A smaller but equally important square in Sibiu is <strong>Piata Mica</strong> . Around it there are low, charming tenement houses with sloping roofs and arcades. The one at number 26 houses <strong>the Museum of Pharmacy</strong> (Muzeul de Farmacie), which will appeal not only to pharmacists. At number 21 you can find <strong>the Saxon Ethnographic Museum. Emilia Sigerusa</strong> (Muzeul de Etnografie și Artă Populară Săsească &quot;Emil Sigerus&quot;). It focuses on presenting the culture of Central Transylvania.</p><h3> Cathedral in Sibiu </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/rumunia/sybin/sybin-5.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Sibiu" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Sibiu Cathedral, Romania - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> The most impressive building in the old town is undoubtedly <strong>the cathedral</strong> (Catedrala Evanghelică CA Sfânta Maria). <strong>Its soaring tower quite dominates the city landscape</strong> . It is 73.4 m high. The temple has been rebuilt over the centuries. Inside you can see works of outstanding artists, including Johannes von Rosenau.</p><h3> Bridge of Liars </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/rumunia/sybin/sybin-7.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Sibiu" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Bridge of Liars, Sibiu, Romania - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> One of the most picturesque points in the old town of Sibiu is <strong>the Bridge of Liars</strong> (Podul Minciunilor). <strong>It was built in 1859 as the first iron structure in Transylvania</strong> . There is an urban <strong>legend associated with it.</strong> According to her, if a liar decides to cross it, then the bridge will collapse. So if you have any lies on your conscience, maybe it&#39;s better not to tempt fate and choose a different path.</p><h3> Stair passage </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/rumunia/sybin/sibiu-pasaz-schodowy.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Sibiu Sibiu" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Staircase Passage, Sibiu, Romania - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> If you are looking for an atmospheric and incredibly photogenic place in the Old Town of Sibiu, be sure to visit <strong>the Passage of Stairs</strong> (Pasajul Scărilor). Its main task is to connect the upper part of the city with the lower one. This passage, although a bit dark and raw at times, is perfect for photos.</p><h3> Dumbrava Park </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/rumunia/sybin/sibiu-dumbrava.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Sibiu Sibiu" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Dumbrava, Sibiu, Romania - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> If you are tired of walking around the city and want to move to the bosom of nature, then be sure to go to <strong>Dumbrava Park</strong> (Parcul Natuhiral Dumbrava Sibiului). It stretches southwest from the center of Sibiu. There is <strong>a zoo</strong> on its premises, which is the oldest facility of this type in Romania. In the park you will also find <strong>a quite interesting open-air museum, more precisely the Museum of Folk Civilization &quot;ASTRA&quot;</strong> (Muzeul Civilizației Populare Tradiționale ASTRA). It is a perfect place to explore the folk history of Transylvania, ancient methods of farming and the technologies used then. In addition, the entire open-air museum is exceptionally picturesque.</p>

hostel_pangeea-37900977.jpg

PanGeea Hostel is a great place for an economical stay! Its biggest advantage is, of course, its location. Right next to the old town and the National Museum. A great place for someone who travels without their own car. It took me about 10 minutes to walk here from the train station. When staying here you can really feel the atmosphere of the city!

Hostel PanGeea

lumiere_house_sibiu-179046875.jpg

Renovated in style, a real old Sibiu house. Its main advantage is its location in the very center, a few hundred meters from the Old Town. There is no breakfast on offer, but the lovely owner showed us a great restaurant located exactly opposite. A good place if you want to go sightseeing and get into the rhythm of the city.

hotel_golden_tulip_ana_tower_sibiu-sybin-golden.jpg

The Golden Tulip Hotel offered us everything we needed. The restaurant, which served delicious breakfasts and lunches, is located on the 11th floor. There are great views of the old part of the city from there. Transfer from the airport was not a problem and we walked everywhere from the hotel. After a whole day of sightseeing, the jacuzzi was a great option.

Hotel Golden Tulip Ana Tower Sibiu

An intimate hotel located near the old part of the city, but in a peaceful and quiet area. Modern and stylish rooms. We really enjoyed the breakfasts where we could try local products. We left the car in the hotel parking lot and explored the city on foot. We recommend!

A very pleasant hotel located in a quiet neighborhood. It has private parking at no extra charge, which is a big plus. The room was clean and well equipped, and the receptionist was very helpful in planning our city tour. A good place both for transit accommodation and for a longer stay and sightseeing in the area.
