Sibiu, Romania: A dreamlike journey to the city of a thousand eyes and the capital of jazz!

Today, I must share with you the hidden gem of Romania - Sibiu! Located in southern Transylvania, Romania, it is a place that is both ancient and mysterious, and full of fairy-tale atmosphere. Built in the 13th century, this small town is easy to explore on foot. The old town is divided into the Upper Town and the Lower Town, which are cleverly connected by the Bridge of Lies. The architecture here is a blend of Baroque and Renaissance styles, and the unique "eye houses" are unforgettable. 🚩Sibiu Great Square: Located in the city center, it has been mentioned in historical documents as early as the 15th century. The clock tower stands tall in the square, and the colorful houses are lined up in a beautiful way, making it a great place to take photos. 🚩Brukenthal Museum: Located on the west side of the Great Square, it is a fine Baroque-style building. Built in the 18th century, it is the oldest surviving museum in Romania! The museum has a European Art Gallery, a Romanian Art Gallery, and a library, each of which is worth savoring to feel the charm of art. 🚩Council Tower: This is a great place to overlook the city of Sibiu. Built in the 13th century, it has 7 floors and is the tallest building in the old town. The light yellow exterior walls and the blue clock under the spire are unique and eye-catching. It used to be a defensive gate in the city, and standing on it, you can feel like you are traveling back to that ancient era. 🚩Bridge of Lies: This bridge connects the Upper Town and the Lower Town and has a romantic and interesting legend. It is said that if you lie on the bridge, it will collapse, so many lovers come here to make eternal vows of love on the bridge, full of sweetness. 🚩Orthodox Cathedral: Similar to the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Türkiye, it is like a smaller version of it. The interior of the church is tall and magnificent, with luxurious decorations in the Neo-Byzantine style and beautiful murals on the walls, which are really amazing and make people marvel at the greatness of art. 🚩Lutheran Cathedral of Saint Mary: It was built on the site of a 14th-century Romanesque church and has five towering spires. Climb the spiral wooden stairs to the top of the tower and enjoy the beautiful view of the entire city of Sibiu, which is truly unparalleled. Sibiu is really worth a visit! Are you tempted? 😘
