Sighisoara to Sibiu
Today, you will leave Sighișoara and travel to Sibiu, a picturesque town with views of the snow-capped Carpathians. Along the way, stop in Mediaș to visit St. Margaret’s Church, the most significant landmark of the former citadel. This Gothic structure stands as one of the most impressive buildings in Transylvania, with its fortified walls and well-preserved medieval features. Upon arrival in Sibiu, known as the “City with Eyes,” check in to your hotel before setting out on a guided walk. While the medieval architecture is striking on its own, having a local guide will reveal further details including the origins of the town’s rooftop windows. The tour will take you through the heart of the historic center, which was named European Capital of Culture in 2007. You will explore landmarks such as the Small Square, the Big Square, the Liar’s Bridge, and the imposing Lutheran Cathedral. The city’s Germanic influences, brought by 12th-century Saxon settlers, are evident in its buildings and layout, making it one of the most historically significant towns in Romania.
