Cute spot, easy to find. Great for meeting friends or for viewing the small square or the lower part of Sibiu.

One of the most beautiful and iconic landmarks in Sibiu! The Bridge of Lies is full of charm and history. It’s a perfect spot for photos, and I love how it connects the old town’s storybook streets. The view from the bridge is amazing, and it’s surrounded by great cafes and shops. If you visit Sibiu, you must see the Bridge of Lies!

The Bridge of Lies in Sibiu may be small, but it’s packed with stories. Locals say it creaks when someone lies while standing on it—spooky and fun to test out. Built in 1859 as Romania’s first cast-iron bridge, it connects Little Square to Huet Square and offers a great view of the old town. It’s one of the most photographed spots in the city, with a great view of the lower town below. A quick stop with character while wandering Sibiu’s historic center.

The Bridge of Lies (Podul Minciunilor) in Sibiu is a must-see! This historic cast-iron bridge, dating back to 1859, is not only beautiful with its Neo-Gothic details and city coat of arms, but it’s also surrounded by fascinating legends. Locals say the bridge creaks if someone tells a lie while standing on it—such a fun story to share with visitors! The location is perfect, connecting Piața Mică (Small Square) to Huet Square, and offering wonderful views of the old town. The surrounding area is full of charming architecture, cozy cafés, and cobblestone streets—great for photos and walking tours. Whether you’re here for history, legends, or just to take in Sibiu’s medieval charm, the Bridge of Lies is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Transylvania! 📍 Easy to find in Sibiu’s historic center 📷 Great photo spot, especially in the evening

It can get pretty busy, but the view it’s amazing

Nice location to have a good photograph. Interesting story of how the name came about - shall leave for you to find out

such a beautiful place to visit and stay a little. At daytime is charming and beautiful, at night full of light and misery. We took some beautiful pictures here.

Amazing and super interesting place, totally worth visiting. It's a huge park, perfectly maintained. Parking is free but in busy days it would be difficult to find a spot. In the park, you will find plenty of shadow in hot summer days. There are a lot of rest areas, and wonderful kids playing area.

Amazing— The word “ASTRA” is significant in Romania because it refers to a historic cultural association and some major heritage institutions central to Romanian national identity and Transylvanian history. Cultural Association and National Awakening ASTRA (Asociația Transilvană pentru Literatura Română și Cultura Poporului Român) was founded in 1861 in Sibiu, Transylvania, as a society dedicated to promoting Romanian literature, education, and culture during the Austro-Hungarian rule. ASTRA played a vital role in the Romanian national awakening by supporting schools, libraries, publications, and scholarly gatherings focused on Romanian heritage. Its efforts were instrumental in boosting Romanian consciousness, particularly among Transylvanian Romanians who faced assimilation pressures.

I absolutely loved this place and enjoyed being there. I was on an organized tour, so with the free time given, I was only able to explore half of it so I explored the older section. There is a magnificent delta and you see different architecture representing different places in Romania. I was there about an hour. Definitely not enough time. There was enough english to understand what you were looking at. There was lots of modern wooden art everywhere and a huge gift shop. I wish I had the time to just sit and enjoy the fall colors and wild life playing on the lake.

This is a Must to do place if you are travelling in Sibiu region. The museum is so rich in its history and depicts so nicely the traditional life of Romanian people in the past. During our visit there was even a national Olympiad of Romanian culture happening in this place, which allowed us to meet people from all around the region of Romania. One thing which united all of them were there beautiful dresses, beautiful smiles and warm hearts.

Amazing place, beautiful surroundings, a perfect day out for children and adults. Incredible restoration of Romanian buildings from different parts of the country. A must see if you're in Sibiu

This fantastic park offers a diverse array of traditional Romanian buildings from various regions and time periods, making it a great place for everyone to visit. It’s conveniently located near the city, accessible by bus. Plan to spend half a day there if you want to see everything.

Great collection of traditional buildings from all around Romania! Our advice would be to have life actors who would be representatives of certain time period, talk about crafts and introduce visitors to past lifestyle. That way it would be more interactive, interesting and educational.

Nice view, interesting to see a medieval tower from inside.

The Council Tower is a must-visit in Sibiu! Located right in the heart of the Old Town, it's easy to find and the perfect starting point for exploring. The tower is perfectly situated between the two main squares, Piața Mare (Great Square) and Piața Mică (Small Square). Its ground-floor passage connects the two, making it easy to access.

Very beautiful birds’ eyes view of Sibiu. Best time to go is before the sunset on a sunny day. My pictures are not the best because of the cloudy conditions.

A lovely tower that perfectly fits the vibe of the square. The nearby streets add even more charm – those kinds of cozy alleys where you might stumble upon something interesting or at least a great café. The tower dates back to the 13th century and originally served as a defensive lookout and fire watch. Today, it's a nice spot for a short climb with beautiful views over the old town. Or you can simply enjoy it from below, as it calmly completes the picturesque feel of the whole area. :) (instagram --> michaelnae)

Unexpectedly beautiful. I didn't expect to like it so much, the view is great and I loved how good the inside looked too.

For a small fee you can view a part of the beautiful city-with its gorgeous architecture. It is a little narrow climbing up the tower, so keep that in mind. I was there at the end of November and there was already a Christmas Market, but the tower isn't so crowded, the waiting time isn't more than 10 minutes (if any)

The tickets are too cheap And the views are amazing

Saint Mary Evangelical Cathedral in Sibiu dominates the city skyline with its tall spire and Gothic architecture. From the square, you can admire its striking stonework and details up close. It’s a quiet spot to pause while exploring the city center and offers great angles for photos, especially in the morning light. The cathedral is a key landmark and a must-see for anyone walking through Sibiu.

A really beautiful cathedral that has lots of information about previous mayors of Sibui. A really nice place to visit price of a ticket is also really nice especially for students. You also get a stunning view out of the tower which is really some stairs up. But the view is worth it.

Another hallmark of Sibiu, one of the oldest cult buildings in the city, visiting this place is a must - especially if there are concerts (or rehearsals) inside which will make it come alive. If you're here in December, come visit it to see the Christmas Tree and the festivities. Also, you should climb the tower as the view from up top is great!

Tickets cost 15 lei (3 euro) for the church and 25 lei (5 euro) for the church + the tower. I got a ticket for both the church and the tower and it was well worth it. Along with this, shortly after I entered there was a tour in Romanian, which I listened to. The tour was not a walk through the church, but was rather you sitting and listening to the guide give you information on the history of the place. The church was initially Catholic until the Protestant revolution when the parishioners were converted to Lutheranism. The organ inside is one of the largest in southeast Europe, and was the first organ in Romania! In fact, there are two organs inside the church, both being very beautiful. Along with this, there are many tombstones and carvings of the leaders of Sibiu and other important personalities local to the area. Both Catholic and Lutheran impressions have been well kept and preserved, so you can note the transition of faith over time, seeing Art styles from both creeds in one building. The bell tower, however, is the real treat. There are a lot of stairs, so be mindful that it is a brief climb to the top. On your way up, you also pass the gigantic bell! Once you reach the spire, the views are spectacular. Well worth the visit, both to the church and the tower.

A beautiful church to visit, with very fair entry prices and the chance to climb the tower for great views. I was lucky to attend a free evening concert here, which made the visit even more special. The Wi-Fi is surprisingly fast, and the QR codes around the church give excellent explanations of the stone art. Staff were very welcoming and spoke both English and German. Highly recommended!

The church is interesting, the memorials with inscriptions are interesting- worth scanning some of the QR codes to see the stories. The tower is very interesting - an exposed climb up past the clock mechanism (sadly in a shed like structure and not on view) and the impressive bells, before being able to peer across the rooftops from the four mini turrets around the steeple. Well worth the admission charge.

Wonderful cathedral set in the quiet piața Huet. Architecturally stunning with gothic interiors and a colourful roof best seen from the bell tower. Cost is 10 Lei to tour the cathedral interior, 10 Lei to climb the bell tower or 15 Lei for a combined ticket.

The most notable aspect of this museum is its second floor, which houses a remarkable collection. However, the overall experience was somewhat disappointing. Unfortunately, there was a lack of information provided about the majority of the pieces, and the organization of the exhibits seemed disjointed, transitioning abruptly between religious artifacts, contemporary art, and 17th-century relics. Additionally, the museum staff was rather intrusive, following us closely throughout our visit and engaging in distracting conversations among themselves.

The museum is absolutely stunning. The building itself is gorgeous and you can really see the Baroque and Rococo style in the furniture and interior design. Inside, you’ll find impressive masterpieces by great artists such as Nicolae Grigorescu and Ștefan Luchian, alongside fascinating pieces from Samuel von Brukenthal’s own collection — it’s a wonderful way to see his passions and interests come to life. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to offer guidance or answer questions. Even the garden and courtyard are beautiful and worth spending time in. Overall, it was an outstanding experience, a true highlight of Sibiu that I recommend.

We only visited the European Art Gallery, which is a very lavish display of Baroque art, statues and everyday objects from that period of time. It is a must for any admirer of the fine arts and also for the cat lovers, since you’ll find its mascots, Antonello and Donatello, roaming all over the interior garden 😄

Fantastic collection of art and historical artifacts covering the past thousand years in the region.

The Brukenthal Palace represents one of the Baroque treasures of Central Europe. The construction of this imposing edifice had no other purpose, from the very beginning, than the creation of a propitious background for the conservation of an art collection and of antiquities having an inestimable value.

For Romania nice paintings from Cranach, Bruegel, Rubens, Jordaens and Italian masters. Also many Romanian paintings. There are more paintings than expected if you look at the facade of the building, a former Palace. For one ticket one can visit the European and Romanian collection. I was less satisfied with the personel. I was taking pictures when a lady asked me if I had paid for my camera. I didn't because at the ticket counter there was no mentioning of a photo tax. See proof of my photos. Looking at the website it is for professional photography. My camera is a compact camera with a small sensor. Nowhere near a professional camera like a DSLR or other full frame or 4/3 inch. It would cost RON 500, €100!. One can take pictures with a smartphone though. I advised the lady at the ticket booth to draw one line, because it is ridiculous that you can't take pictures. Old times persist in this museum.

Impressive museum with impressive paintings and different exhibits. They have 2 exhibitions: European and Romanian, for each one you have to pay a different entrance fee. I was disappointed about the staff (one person, not all of them). She ask me to don’t take pictures. I’ve visited a lot of museums and I’ve never seen this kind of attitude before, but this is only in my country. Most of the museums don’t have this policy, but on the contrary being happy when people are taking pictures and sharing them on social media, because they know this will help them to get more visibility and be promoted by tourists. Unfortunately we still have this communism mindset. 🫤 But I still took pictures 🤘

This is a whole different level. If you’re in Sibiu, this is a must. No “maybe”, no “if we have time later” – you just have to stop here. The cathedral is absolutely majestic, especially when you stand in front of those huge, ornate doors and look up – you instantly feel tiny. Inside, you’ll be embraced by the classic Orthodox vibe: gold everywhere, colorful frescoes, and the unmistakable scent of incense. The cathedral was built at the beginning of the 20th century, inspired by the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul – so it’s like a quick cultural trip across Europe. Even if the streets outside are buzzing, it’s wonderfully peaceful inside. Honestly, even I stopped talking for a minute – and that says a lot. 😄 (instagram --> michaelnae)

The Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral in Sibiu is breathtaking inside, with soaring domes and vibrant iconography that fill the space with color and light. The atmosphere is calm and reverent, making it a great stop to pause during a walk through the old town. Photography is allowed but best done respectfully.

This is really a stunning church to visit it is so amazing to look at all the frescoes on the walls and ceiling. It really is worth a visit even if you are not really religious. The art itself is really worth visiting for and if you want you can also go shop in an small shop near the church for some merch. There is no entry price so it is free to visit.

Very beautiful , very big and elegance decoration. I came first time at night, they already closed , exterior when light up are so gorgeous but next day try to see again still very beautiful in daylight. Interior is stunning.

This is an amazing Cathedral-- the painted frescos are stunning. Truly looks like a smaller version on the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul, Turkey!

Absolutely stunning church. Reminded us of the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul but more intimate.

Wonderful and profoundly spiritual experience for anybody interested in Religion in all its form.

Historical looking passageway. Just a quick walk around this place to get a feel of how it was like back in the olden days.

There are 176 wood stairs making the connection between the bottom of the hill and the city school

Very nice view of the city

A little underwhelming, there are much more interesting things to experience in Sibiu

Stairs passage...yeah...well not realy a big deal to see here, some stairs and a 3-5 min walk between two walls. Not to much to see. But you can get some cool pictures here so for 5 min why not visit.

The Pasajul Scărilor (Stairs Passage) is one of the narrow pedestrian streets connecting the Lower Town and the Upper Town. Built in the 13th century, this is, partly due to the archways and cobblestones, one of the nicer streets of the old town of Sibiu. On the north side of the passage is the Butoiul de Aur (the Golden Barrel), Sibiu's oldest restaurant.

A lovely place with view in the historic town center.

Really cool zoo with many big cats, wolves, and bears inside of a big green open space park. It is a beautiful walk all throughout the zoo and nice to even just sit down and relax around the lake. The cats and wolves were very active during the day I went so it was a great experience. The bears were very lazy though haha. If you like experiencing different zoos, I would highly recommend giving this one a go! Tell the white tiger hi for meee 🤗

Is a really nice zoo to visit with multiple entrances even one is in the open air museum. The price for the tickets is really cheap and you get alot for that price. The enclosures of the animals are also quite big which is nice. There is also a possibility to paddle on the water in an boat. And there is an food and merch store in the zoo itself.

It's the oldest zoo in Romania I think. They have quite a few uncommon animals. Like albino Siberian tigers, and some unseen by me hawks. And I'm a biologist. It's also a really cool place to just move about in, and escape the city. The animals have some of their cages dirty and they should probably provide some extra shade for a few of the species in the summer. As they were literally lying down from the heat. So were we mostly. But we visited in the evening.

some of the animals are kept in bad condition, like small enclosures but contrary to most of the reviews, they are well fed, i attached a photo. I own 3 parrots so i can tell when something's wrong with them and i could clearly tell that one cockatiel (nimfă) was sick. The bear was clearly not ok tho, it was probably new to the zoo and not used to it yet-he was moving in circles for the entire 2 hours we were there. Other than that, they seem to be quite happy. Tickets cost 5 lei per kid and 10 per adult.

The zoo is decent, not that big and the animals seems to be decently cared for. The birds area is very small and not that interesting compared to the Pitesti Zoo. Entry is 10ron for adults, 5 for kids and the hidrobike is 50ron for 30 minutes or 30ron for the row boat.

Beautiful zoo with nice pets. Not too big or small and realy cheap. 10 Lei Adult 5 Lei Child. (Till 14-16) also you can book a pedel or rowing boat for the sea. Small restaurant ( kantina ) also in the zoo with a rooftop terrace. It's a good choice for 2-3 ours visiting. We definitely recommend.

Nice, a bit small but with nice and new cages. The crocodile 🐊 is interesting and nice that small kids can see it clear.

A really beautiful church with quite a unique vibe. When we visited, it was surprisingly dark inside, which gave it a slightly mysterious feel – as if someone in a hooded cloak might appear at any moment to whisper ancient secrets. Built in the 18th century in Baroque style, this church feels much more intimate and peaceful compared to the grand cathedrals elsewhere. And the best part? It’s often overlooked by tourists, so you can really soak in the quiet atmosphere without the crowds. (instagram --> michaelnae)

The Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church in Sibiu stands out with its elegant baroque architecture and beautifully detailed interior. The ceilings and altars are richly decorated, giving the space a warm and inviting feel. It’s a quiet spot right by Piata Mare, perfect to step inside and take in a moment of peace while exploring the square.

Wonderful Cathedral and inviting atmosphere.

One of the greatest cathedrals in Romania, in my opinion perfectly comparable to similar places in Vienna or Krakow, maybe only the one in Oradea is another landmark comparable to this one in the country The exterior is great and fits in really well with the environs but it is the richly decorated interior that seals the deal, especially the exquisite stained glass Always a pleasure to come here while in the city, need to come to a sermon next time

A great piece of architecture full of history and ...feeling that God is down here...Nihil Sine DEO!

Beautiful Church. It's surprisingly easy to miss, since the outside looks like just another building in the main square. The marble pillars inside are beautiful, and the lighting is really great.

A real roman catholic cathedral, not so big outside it is situated in the center of the town, it hold amazing stained glass and it is truly impressive.

A very nice small tower. For RON 2 (€0.15), you may climb the stairs and walk inside it. Also, you can enjoy the Views of Sibiu from above. Recommend

A nice place to visit if you have at least 45 min to spare. The person working is amazing and very passionate. You van learn lots of Sibiu history and see some nice views. And the price is extremely reasonable!

This is a great little museum all about the Guilds that used to operate in Sibiu and defend it from attacks. Sadly there is no information about the Guild Tree in the town. You go up this tower (Carpenters Tower) and come down Potters Tower. The person running the towers wasn't helpful, other than helping us get tickets (very cheap - 2 Leu.

Great piece of medieval history. Enjoyed the towers and the self-guided tour.

Definitely worth it , it’s a 20 min visit. You get to walk all the length of the wall !

Excellent value at only 2 lei (easy payment machine, no staff on site). The renovation of the towers is impressive, with clear local history information throughout. A highlight is being able to walk between the connected towers, which gives a real sense of the city’s past. Well worth a visit!

Entry price is 2 Ron, the access area is situated in this tower and the end of it is in the potters tower. There are informative panels all over the places with relevant historic information about the towers. It takes around 1 hour to visit the whole place if you are reading all the informative panels. There is a big parking lot next to the potters tower (the exit).

An interesting and diverse collection, although the interpretation is limited in places with only basic information presented in Romanian, German and (in most parts) English. The importance of the guild system, with many artefacts, is well shown. Also a good if small coin collection and arms and armour collection. The lapidaries, with collections of Roman and Medieval stonework, were sadly closed as of mid-June 2024.

This is a terrific smaller museum that makes the most of its excellent collection. I’ve visited quite a few museums in Romania over the last three weeks, a common issue is all the info being only in Romanian. This museum has cleverly gotten around that issue by setting up displays that are self-explanatory, although there are brief notes. It was a treat to be able to walk through and just enjoy the tableaus that “show you” shelter styles, pottery, weapons and jewelry from various periods. Eventually you do get some signage, but lighting is a problem. The collection is very good, but we do need to be able to actually see it and the explanations. Still, this museum is well worth your time - don’t miss the outstanding historic coin collection in the tower!

I really enjoyed this history museum, the building itself is beautiful. The exhibits are interesting and give you a glimpse into Sibiu’s local traditions, and even the early days of Freemasonry here. The staff were kind and helpful, which made the visit even nicer. A great spot if you want to dive deeper into Sibiu’s past. This museum is definitely worth a visit.

This museum is BIG. Don't let the small gate fool you. It has a lot of things exhibited, and it is a nice way to spend an hour or two. Furniture, gold coins, weapons and armours, glass piecea, iron work, wood work, all placed in an old castle.

Very nice Collection but hardly any information in English telling the story of artifacts and history, which is probably amazing. Building itself is also very nice.

Can't really recommend this one too much. It's in a beautiful historic building and has a great collection of objects. However, there is very little information even in Romanian (less of course in English), though the lapidarium is a little better in that regard. It really doesn't tell a story and hence is more like a museum to old objects - not Sibiu history. At over 8 USD, not a very satisfying experience. The childhood exhibit, which I think is temporary, is an exception : cool stuff + good storytelling.

The building itself is a great architectural monument of Sibiu , it houses the museum , which is not large but it is certainly worth a visit if you enjoy history . Visited on 1 sept 23 , ticket was 39 lei (4 euros) , located in the city center , it closes at 18:00 during the working days . It has many exhibits , a souvenir shop and facilities .
