Welcome to Sibiu, a city in the heart of Romania's Transylvania, where history seems to gaze back at you from every roof. This enchanting medieval town offers a rich blend of history, culture, and gastronomy, making it an idyllic destination for travelers seeking authentic charm.
The region of Sibiu is situated in southern Transylvania, boasting a unique cultural and natural landscape. The Region includes the city of Sibiu and its surroundings, standing out through its exceptional heritage and traditions carried on by a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural community.
Sibiu's perfectly preserved old town is a testament to its past as a prosperous Saxon trade hub. You'll find yourself effortlessly wandering through centuries of history as you navigate the city's two main sections:
The Upper Town: Here you'll find the elegant Large Square (Piața Mare), the bustling Small Square (Piața Mică), and the iconic Council Tower. Climb the tower for a panoramic view of the city's terracotta roofs and the surrounding Carpathian mountains.
The Lower Town: Explore the city's more vernacular side with narrow, winding streets and covered passageways connecting the old squares.
A former European Capital of Culture, Sibiu has since focused on its vivid cultural life, also developing its tourist profile. Alongside its other valuable assets, traditions had an important role in shaping Sibiu as a viable tourist destination, food culture being one of the main attractions of the Region.
The cuisine of southern Transylvania is a mosaic that reflects the multicultural gastronomic and cultural influences of the local populations and various societal trends.
In our region, we have 11 different cultural influences: on the one hand, those of those who lived here (Romanians, Saxons, Hungarians, Armenians, Hebrews, and Roma), on the other hand influences of surrounding, regional or historical powers and authorities (Austrian, Turkish, Russian, French, and Greek).
