Our guides are not just certified professionals — they are passionate storytellers who bring the city to life. From the moment you step into the Grand Square, you will feel the weight of history and the charm of a city that has preserved its medieval character unlike anywhere else in Romania. Tour highlights: Grand Square (Piața Mare) — the heart of Sibiu, surrounded by stunning baroque and renaissance architecture. This is where merchants, nobles, and emperors once gathered. Today it remains the social and cultural centre of the city. Small Square (Piața Mică) — connected to the Grand Square by a narrow passage, the Small Square is one of the most charming medieval squares in all of Transylvania. Look up and you will notice the famous Eyes of Sibiu — the distinctive dormer windows on the rooftops that seem to watch over the city. Liar's Bridge (Podul Minciunilor) — Sibiu's most legendary landmark and one of the first cast-iron bridges in Romania. According to local legend, the bridge will collapse if anyone tells a lie while standing on it. Our guide will tell you the real story behind the myth. Huet Square (Piața Huet) — one of the oldest parts of the city, dominated by the impressive Gothic Evangelical Cathedral. This square takes you back to the medieval Saxon community that founded and shaped Hermannstadt — the German name for Sibiu. Fortifications Street (Strada Cetății) — walk along the medieval defensive walls and towers that once protected the city. Sibiu had one of the most elaborate fortification systems in Transylvania, and several towers still stand today as a testament to the city's resilience. The Eyes of Sibiu — the mysterious dormer windows that appear throughout the Old Town are one of Sibiu's most iconic symbols. Our guide will explain their origin, their architectural significance, and why they have captured the imagination of visitors for centuries.
