City in Romania

Sibiu

3 things to see

Sibiu is one of Transylvania’s most beautiful towns, with pastel buildings that have distinctive “eyelid” roof windows and a lively main square that costs nothing to sit in and soak up. Romanian prices are low across the board, so wandering the old town, crossing the Bridge of Lies, and day-hiking in the nearby Carpathians stay easy on a tight budget. It pairs naturally with Brasov for a wider Transylvania loop, and summer is the sweet spot for the mountain trails.
