Visiting Sibiu in the summer, Romania
Reviews > Europe > Romania > Sibiu > Visiting Sibiu in the summer
We arrived to Sibiu (in german it's Hermannstadt) in the afternoon. Sibiu has been chosen to be the European Capital of Culture in the year of 2007 together with Luxembourg.
The city is beautiful and amazingly clean compared to other romanian cities, with a wonderful city center. All of the buildings (I think) were renovated, there are flowers planted everywhere and anytime you go you will find some kind of program organized at the city square.

Though, its former Gothic style can be still observed on the outside walls and on the chapel as well. The Defensive System still attracts hundreds of tourists as it is still in perfect condition. Long strolls along its defensive thick walls made of bricks and the passing through old gates and entrances impresses each visitor while exploring the... Read more »
