I found Sibiu a very nice, amazing historical city, I think the city won the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2007 for a very good reason.
Here are just some of its sights what I enjoyed most: 1. The 'Holy Trinity' Romanian Orthodox Cathedral, based on plans of Virgil Nagy and Jozsef Kamner.
2. The Evangelical Church built in the 14th century located on the Huet Square among of many gothic style buildings.
3. The Catholic Church built in the 18th century.
4. The Tower of the Carpenters.
5. The Small Square (what a funny name:P), and 6. the Liars Bridge.

Sibiu Sights

Presently this arcaded building houses the Transylvanian Civilization Museum. On the left of the bridge, you can see the Luxemburg House, recently renovated, which got its name from the carnation. It’s a Baroque four-storey mansion and it used to be the seat of the Goldsmiths’ Guild. The Huet Square, notably features the Evangelical Lutheran Cathedral, built in the 14th century. Its tower is 73 m high and houses a pipe-organ made in 1672, one of the oldest still playing in the country.... Read more »
