SIBIU

Sibiu is one of the most beautiful, interesting and flourishing cities in Transylvania. It is an important economic and cultural center. In fact it was the Cultural Capital of Europe, in 2007.

Sibiu is a medieval town that has always been considered a mysterious town, a citadel so well fortified and so difficult to conquer. It holds one of the best preserved historical sites in the country, many of its medieval fortifications having been kept in excellent state.

Whether you intend to spend half a day or longer, you can’t miss the most important tourist attractions such as the three main squares with their historical monuments, the Council Tower (one of the oldest well-preserved towers in Sibiu), the Liars’ Bridge and the impressive gothic Evangelical Church or the Brukenthal National Museum.

Astra National Museum Complex (www.muzeulastra.ro ) is the most important ethno-museum institution in Romania. Situated in the natural reservation of Dumbrava Sibiului on the road to Rasinari village, 8 kilometers away from the city centre, the Open Air Museum spreads across a 96 ha area and is the largest open air ethnographic exhibition in Europe. The museum currently has over 400 monuments of folk architecture and technique as well as an impressive collection of ethnographic heritage objects. The collection of mills, the wooden churches, and the traditional homesteads are very popular and very much appreciated.
