The 10 Best Historic Sites in Sibiu, Transylvania

September 27, 2021 Stefan Strunk

The historic center of Sibiu is still partially enclosed by its original 12th-century medieval walls. Begin your visit in the Piata Mare, home to the Brukenthal Palace, containing the main halls of the Brukenthal National Museum. Descend the Passage of the Stairs down into lower Sibiu, and make sure to be on your best behavior as you cross the Bridge of Lies. A trek in the nearby Făgăraș Mountains will lead you past breathtaking ridges and serene glacial lakes.

Well worth the climb to the top for the views. And the late 1400's clock mechanism on the 6th floor was interesting.

Steps from the Golden Barrel restaurant, this narrow pedestrian way between the medieval walls is one of the unique places in Sibiu, a must-see and take pictures of (or with).
