Nestled in the heart of the Transylvanian countryside, almost 300km northwest of Bucharest, lies the beautiful 12th century Saxon town of Sibiu. The winding cobbled streets, brightly coloured traditional houses and decorative bridges make up the picturesque chocolate box town of Sibiu, whose old town feels like a long ago fairy tale setting.

As the official European City of Culture (2007), Sibiu boasts the best preserved architecture in Romania as well as its very own established museum, the Folk Museum. The quaint back alleys and stunning church-adorned squares provide the perfect opportunity to soak up the culture, pausing for refreshments in the numerous cafés and restaurants dotted in and around the majestic old town. The walking tour is a lovely way to explore the historic city. See below for more details.
