5. Orthodox Cathedral Holy Trinity
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 240 reviews
This is the second largest Orthodox Cathedral in Romania.
Reviewed By Honisoiquimalypense - Derby, United Kingdom
This is quite an impressive building from outside with its red and yellow striped brick work - very Byzantine in appearance. It was apparently modelled on the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and is the seat of the Romania Orthodox Archbishop of Sibiu. Although the outside is quite magnificent in its own way - the inside is fabulous - ornately decorated and painted with a great altar. This is the umber one attraction in Sibiu, in my opinion.

8. St Andrews Scottish Pub
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 58 reviews
Small, cosy and traditional, this Scottish Pub is as close to the real thing you’ll find East of the North Sea. Plus, they have an excellent selection of local and international craft beers. Their tap list may vary, yet the bottle range is broader, covering pretty much every style you can think of, and keeping up to date with the latest releases. With an over 18’s only policy, expect a mature, adult environment. - Beerologique

Reviewed By Tiberiu_Baranyi - Timisoara, Romania
Another iconic place in Sibiu is the "Piata Mica" or Small square if you like. It is right next to the Big square and you can walk here from right under the townconcil tower (tell you about it in another review). As its name is stating is kind of small - but it is actually not that small but since there are a lot of parking spots around it - yes you can come with the car and park in the small square - not free so don't forget to pay your parking ticket. To mention a few points of interest: - the ASTRA museum - Bridge of Lies - Town Council Tower. - easy access to the Huet square - restaurants and cafes So for sure it is definitely worth it to include this place in your tour of Sibiu city - would be nice for you to take a guided tour of the place so you get the most out of your visit. Also check out the pastries, restaurants and cafes in the square - so you have everything needed at your convenience. Overall is one of the landmarks to hat you meed to visit when in Sibiu - enjoy!
