Take a three hours walking tour and uncover historical Sibiu and its fascinating past. The itinerary includes the three emblematic squares of the Old Town, the ruins of the fortified walls and state of the art churches and monuments.  The tour follows the historical events in chronological order, starting with the end of the 12th century when the city was founded by the German colonists - known as the Transylvanian Saxons -  who settled in this part of the region.  This is the perfect tour for curious travelers who want to make the most out of their time in Sibiu.

Itinerary

1. Big Square (Piata Mare)

   The postcard image of Sibiu, the Large Square is the biggest of all the historical spaces in the Upper Town. Today, the Large Square is an open-air exhibition of fine Baroque-style monuments like the must-visit Brukenthal Museum and many more aristocratic residences from the past centuries. The space of the Square is also representative of the religious diversity of Sibiu that once meant powerful churches fighting for domination.
