What you'll see
Four squares, a bridge that won't tolerate liars, and a city that quietly watches you back.
-
01
Huet Square & the Evangelical Cathedral
The oldest corner of the city, dominated by the Gothic Evangelical Cathedral. This was the heart of the medieval Saxon community that founded Hermannstadt — as Sibiu was known back then.
-
02
The Bridge of Lies
Romania's first cast-iron bridge — and, according to local legend, the one that collapses if you tell a lie while crossing it. Your guide will tell you the real story.
-
03
Small Square & the Eyes of Sibiu
One of the most beautiful medieval squares in Transylvania. Look up — sleepy, eye-shaped attic windows peer down at you from the rooftops, watching everyone who passes through.
-
04
The Grand Square
The heart of Sibiu for 700 years. Merchants, nobles and emperors all gathered here. Baroque on one side, Renaissance on the other — the social and cultural centre of the city.
-
05
Schiller Square
A quiet little square lined with Baroque and Classicist houses, named after the great German poet Friedrich Schiller. A corner of the city that still holds on to the atmosphere of old Sibiu.
-
06
Cetății Street & the City Walls
A walk along the old defensive walls. Three medieval towers are still standing — remnants of one of the best-preserved urban fortifications in Transylvania.
