Tour description
Sibiu is one of the most beautiful and best-preserved Saxon cities in Transylvania, famous for its grand squares, its pastel houses with 'eyes' in the rooftops, and its rich German heritage. A former European Capital of Culture, it is elegant and atmospheric. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and charm.
You will stroll the linked Grand and Small Squares, cross the famous Bridge of Lies, and wander the old town of guild towers and cobbled lanes. Along the way you will hear about the Saxon settlers, the guilds and Transylvanian history. Elegant and historic, Sibiu is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
