What to do and see in Sibiu, Transylvania: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

January 22, 2022 Veronika Gaddis

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.

Lutheran Evangelical Cathedral & Tower

Reviewed By sricu1 - Tel Aviv, Israel

The cathedral was built in 1520 on the building of a 12th century Romanesque church. In the foreground stands the statue of George Daniel Tautz, Bishop of Sibiu from 1899. The cathedral is Gothic-style and has five towers, the highest of which is 73 meters high and is seen from almost everywhere in the city The eastern wall of the church is covered with a huge painting (more than 9 meters high), painted by the painter "Rosano" in 1445, showing the crucifixion of Jesus. The largest organ in all of Southeastern Europe, located in the Baroque style dating from 1671, has six thousand pipes and in the summer months of June-September, there are concerts for organ organisms on Wednesdays.

Orthodox Cathedral Holy Trinity

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.

St Andrews Scottish Pub

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
