📍 Destination Overview
Sibiu in southern Transylvania was built by the Saxons in the Middle Ages; its elegant old town was a European Capital of Culture. Three linked squares form the core of Baroque buildings, with the famed iron Lies Bridge. The quirkiest detail is overhead: attic dormers on old roofs look like narrowed eyes gazing down, called the Eyes of Sibiu — the city's most singular, mysterious symbol.

Sibiu is a Transylvanian town built by Saxons and a former European Capital of Culture; best from May to September, with one of Romania's most famous Christmas markets in December. Don't miss the Large Square surrounded by Baroque buildings, the Small Square connected to the Liars' Bridge (legend says it creaks if you lie), and climbing the City Hall Tower for a panorama of the red-roofed old town. Most unique are the pairs of dormer windows on the old rooftops, shaped like eyes gazing down at the streets - the Eyes of Sibiu - mysterious and charming. You can combine a visit to Sighisoara.
