Sibiu is a captivating city located in the heart of Transylvania, Romania, packed with rich medieval history. Notably known for its vividly colored Baroque buildings and the iconic 'eyes of Sibiu' - attic windows resembling eyes that seem peering down from rooftops. Sibiu's charm extends from its grand squares such as the Large Square (Piața Mare) hosting the Brukenthal National Museum, to its Gothic-style Evangelical Cathedral with a striking steeple. The city also prides itself on vibrant festivals such as the Sibiu International Theatre Festival that draws artists globally and is recognized as one of Europe’s cultural capitals. The old town's alleyways, bridges, and towers make Sibiu a delightful destination for history buffs, while the nearby Făgăraș Mountains cater to outdoor adventurers.

Nestled in the heart of Southeastern Europe, Romania delicately balances the rugged charm of its Carpathian landscape with the historical and architectural grandeur of its urban centres. Its rolling mountains and unspoiled countryside play host to a rich biodiversity, including Europe’s largest population of brown bears. Romania is perhaps most famous for its mythical region of Transylvania, the alleged home of the legendary Count Dracula, with the Bran Castle adding a layer of atmospheric mystery. From the vibrant Bucharest that's a blend of the contemporary and historic, to the remarkably preserved medieval towns such as Sighisoara, Romania offers its visitors a world steeped in entrancing folklore, captivating natural landscapes, and an intriguing past.

Romania

When planning a trip to Romania, it is important to exercise normal safety precautions, as recommended by the United States, Canadian, and Australian governments. Be aware of your surroundings, secure your belongings, and remain vigilant about personal safety and security measures.

Sibiu was one of my favorite places in Romania. The city is quite small, very pedestrian-friendly and full of interesting places. I had no safety issues.
