- Must Visit Towns in Romania - Exploring Sibiu (Transylvania)! Sibiu, known as the city with eyes, we absolutely loved our time exploring this beautiful town in Romania. From the Bridge of Lies, the Piata Mare ( large square), and the wonderful architecture, there is much to enjoy while wandering the streets within the old town. We also explored beyond the main tourist areas and found Sibiu's many beautiful churches and cathedrals. The Holy Trinity Cathedral (Orthodox church) is an absolute must-see and just a short walk from the town square. We climbed the Council Tower where we got the most amazing view of Piata Mica (small square), Piata Mare (large square), and throughout Sibiu and the countryside beyond.
#Sibiu #Romania #transylvania
Exploring Sibiu in the summer months we were fortunate to be there during some wonderful events. We took in the Red Bull Romaniacs race, rock concerts, and an amazing Orchestra in Piata Mare square. And, of course, you can't finish a day in Sibiu without taking in authentic local Romanian cuisine and local craft beer. Thank you so much for joining us on this journey!
Cheers!!!

Sibiu, Romania was such a beautiful city to explore, we absolutely loved the time we spent here. Have you visited Romania before? Or, have you decided to add it to your list of places to travel to?
I've visited Romania 3 times in 1 year I was in Sibiu just after Xmas The 🎄 market is the best in All of Romania really enjoying your videos All the best 👍
This was so inspiring. I'd love to go after seeing your vlog :)
very nice ❤❤❤
Romania is by far a must and hidden gem!
The food is amazing in Romania 🇷🇴
This is one of my favorite cities in România!
Welcome to my adoptive country ❤️🇹🇩
Thank you, and thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Vă mulțumim pt ca a-ți arătat despre noi și țara noastră frumos.God bless you.
It is such a beautiful country with beautiful people. Thank you, Florin for having us.
Yes, Romania is now on the list. You get an assist in the box score. Good work, you two. Thanks! And keep 'em coming! 😅 Cheers! 🍻
Thank you! Romania has been a bit of a surprise for us to be honest. We really didn't know what to expect but have really had a great time. As always, thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!🍻
I am so glad you visited The Holy Trinity Cathedral (Orthodox cathedral) which is a splendour ! With all those colors and murals, absolutely exceptional !
Romania looks fantastic. We’d love for you to include a Airbnb tour and the costs of you meals. Can we see more churches?🤣🤪
Romania is fantastic!! Unfortunately, our Airbnb in Sibiu was not worth showing!!!! We left 3 days early!!😆 Our meal at the restaurant was $26.00 total, such a great deal!! We usually have the cost in the video but somehow missed it in the edit. Our mistake. 🙄 We had the church conversation and decided that we will only show churches that our extraordinarily over the top from now on!!😂😂 Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
If you pick a place to stay, choose the upper town. In the lower town where you have stayed, even if is cheaper, is less comfortable. As you will say in America, is up and coming.
Great advice Simona!!
Cheers!!!🍻
I had no idea there were so many pretty towns and cities to visit in Romania. Definitely added to my list after the last few videos of yours. Thanks again.
Hi, Bruce. We honestly had no idea either, we are loving Romania. We would definitely recommend adding Romania to your list. Thank you for watching and safe travels.
Cheers!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie thank you. I look forward to watching the rest of your adventures. Berlin next for me.
There are many places in Romania to see, the romanian government doesn't do such a good job in promoting the country, TH-camrs who travel the world like Brian and Carrie have done far more promotion to Romania than the government.
As for towns and cities that worth seeing are many
Sibiu - overall a pretty city
Sighisoara - lots of colorful buildings
Oradea - one of the most restored cities in Romania
Brasov - there are so many things to do here from wondering the old town to hiking to the near by mountain Postavarul Massif
Bucharest - a mix of old and new, has one of the biggest mall in Eastern Europe with a build in mountain façade, not mentioning the largest building in Europe
Alba Iulia - largest fortress in Romania, on foot to visit the whole thing it would take at least 2 hours
Hunedoara - this town has The Corvin Castle it is one of Europe's best kept medieval castles, oh yeah there are a lot of castles and fortress around Romania
Timisoara, Cluj-Napoca, Iasi, Targu Mures, Baia Mare, Arad, all good looking cities and the list could go on and on, so many localities that has something to offer
Great rundown on everything Romania has to offer, John. We have had several viewers say how Romania is now on their list of places to explore! We have several more videos to come out in Romania!
Cheers!!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie thank you!
You guys are so fun to watch, I am so happy to see you've enjoyed my hometown!
We loved Romania and Sibiu! We plan to return someday to see the rest of your beautiful country. Thank you for watching!
Cheers!!🍻
I was blown away by Sibiu. I was with a professional group that was doing some stuff on the outskirts of town, and I can't believe stopping into the historic center wasn't on the agenda. We broke off from the group and were able to run around the core for 30 mins or so and WOW. I'm dying to go back. If Sibiu was in Western Europe, it would be buried in tourism (not that it doesn't have tourists).
So happy to hear you got to see a bit of the city center. Such an beautiful place that definitely deserves more than 30 min. Thanks for watching!! Cheers 🍻
Looks very nice! I would imagine in autumn, that would be a perfect "romantic weekend"!
Absolutely! Lovely place, we had an amazing time 😀
Mulțumim pentru toate video- urile minunate făcute ! Thank you for the amazing videos & your visit in our country! Send you love! 🥰🤗🇷🇴
Loved learning about Romania. You both are wonderful excellent chemistry funny and informative can't wait to retire and start doing what you both are doing you make it look so happy and so great thank you for all you are doing keep up the fantastic job. I'm already falling in love with both of you Brian and Carrie can't wait for the next one.
Thank you so much, such kind words!! We are feeling very blessed and love doing what we are doing. Thank you for watching our channel Anna.
Cheers!!!🍻
Thank you so much for promoting my country ❤️
It usually is underrepresented (but understandably, as it's our fault for not promoting it more - private OR government wise). Not to mention the disastrous infrastructure ☹️ but, indeed, Romania IS a hidden gem.
Hope you'll get to see Oradea as well (my favorite one in Romania, I'm from Bucharest).
I've also been living in Poland for some years, and Budapest for a year now - Poland and Hungary really are true gems worthy of exploring as well ❤️❤️❤️ And not just Budapest and Kraków.
Looking forward for your next videos on your Romanian galore trip.
Take care both of you ❤️
Thank you! We did make it to Oradea, such a nice town!
Unde ai locuit in Portugalia? Merg la sfârșitul lui Martie anul viitor pentru o săptămână si as acea nevoie de ceva sfaturi.
Your videos have put Romania to the top of our list !!!! Looking forward to your cost breakdown
Thanks guys! We have had such a great time here. Love Romania!
Wonderful! Your series of Vlogs from Romania has inspired me to add to my travel list. Thank you!
Thank you, Becky! We really loved our time in Romania. Such a beautiful country.
75 km from Sibiu, you can visit in Alba Iulia (the other capital), the largest citadel in South Eastern Europe.
Yes, we went and had such a great day! That video will be out soon! Thank you so much for watching!!
Cheers!!🍻
Alba iulia is definitely not in south-eastern europe 😂
As a Midwesterner who lived in Sibiu for 2 years, I can totally agree that this is a "must visit" city. I taught at the local university through the U.S. State Department's Fulbright Program. I will add, though, that there is so much more to see in Sibiu beyond the center city area. Some of the outlying small towns are also great. I did enjoy my visits to other Romanian cities, but--maybe because it was "home"--Sibiu was my favorite.
We loved our time in Romania and hope to return someday soon. The country is very underrated in our opinion. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
Cheers!!🍻
You misunderstood: the 150 lei were for a ticket that gives you access to all the museum in town that fall under the Brukenthal Museum administration, eight museums in total. The price just for this museum you wanted to visit is 39 lei. I am sure that you can find much more expensive museums across Europe. Yes, the filming tax is quite high and stupid (I don't why they enforce that) but unfortunately it is found in many museum here.
That makes sense, it did seem high. That is where the language berrier comes in place. Thank you for clarifying. Cheers!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie Glad to help. I wish you nice trips here, or anywhere you go.
Thank you so much!!
Cheers!!!🍻
I really like your casual banter and fun approach that seem much more apparent in your videos over the past months. Second only to Brian’s craft beer critiques. You really seem to be enjoying yourselves.
Thank you, John. We are getting more comfortable in front of the camera. We had no idea what we were doing when we started last September. 😅 We are enjoying life and feel blessed. Thank you for watching and supporting us.
Cheers!!!🍻
The Orthodox Church is my favourite too. The frescoes are so impressive. Sibiu is such a wonderful place, full of little alleyways and surprises. It's charm is timeless. Love your videos. They're always fun and interesting.
Thank you for watching, Jane!
Wow! Thank you! Frumoasa filmare a orasului vechi! Podul Minciunosilor...Inima Sibiului ( Hermanstade). Multumesc mult! Imi place acest oras!
Hi guys. Amazing video. We probabkly were in the Sibiu at the same time. I remember that music podium and moto cross podium as well.
Thanks for another fine Vlog of Sibiu, Romania. Enjoyed it.
Thank you, CM!
Cheers!!!🍻
Thank you so much for showing us the churches inside
Thank you for watching May!
muzel astra its gorgeous thumb up guys

So charming city! I liked Sibiu very much.
Me too!
Great video 👌
Thank you!!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Mmmm desert beer, lol love it! Another great video guys! Cheers 🍻

We are wonderful! Nice people ❤️
Romania has been amazing for us. Thank you so much for the hospitality! Until next time!
Cheers 🍻
Lovely videos!
Thank you, Robert!!
Nice to see you again,Mr. Craig T Nelson..
😂😆👍🍻
Great video guys. Yep, Sibiu is a beautiful city. Oh, and I'm all for Brian's idea of a smoothie 🤣🍺
Thank you Ursul! 🤣🤣
*The President of Romania, Klaus Johannis, was born here, in Sibiu ( Hermannstadt of German ), Sibiu is an old Saxon city*
Thanks for the introduction! I'm watching this on the morning of my flight there. I got a really cheap fare direct from Vienna to Sibiu on Ryanair, so I'm taking a quick weekend tour. I'll definitely check out the Orthodox church!
Very cool, Lisa!! You will have a great time!! Thank you for watching and safe travels!
Cheers!!🍻
nice video
Thank you!
I look forward to sitting down with a cup of coffee to catch up with your adventures every Saturday AM.
You’re totally inspiring us to do something similar in a few years.
Greetings and cheers from Bellingham! ❤️🤗🍻
Hi, Anne. Bellingham is still the most beautiful place we have been!! We will be home in November and looking forward to a few pints at Stemma! Thank you for watching.
Cheers!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie yes, it is. We love Bham, *even in the winter*. We’re up above Squalicum HS; my avi is the view from our upper deck.
I’m sure your calendar will be full when you’re here, but if you find you have the time, please consider letting us buy y’all a couple of 🍻when y’all are in town. Hit me up on FB messenger. 😃
Cheers and safe travels!
We would love to Anne, keep in touch!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Cool that you enjoyed the bakeries, a couple of them aren't original to Sibiu (still good stuff) but the other three on that street have some things very hard to find in other cities, pasties traditional to villages around Sibiu. Did not find them anywhere in Bucharest, for example.
Well...before you leave Romania , consider visit Salina Turda, its once in a lifetime visit! trust me! You wont find any place like that in the entire world. Its also healty! If you decide to go check it out, you wont regret it!
We did make our way to Salina Turda! It was a bit of a day to get there but we did make it. That video will be out on Friday! Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie I saw on IG yesterday that you guys made it to Salina Turda. I was going to recommend it but forgot, and it's a little bit out of the way so I thought you'd pass it up. Glad you were able to visit. We certainly enjoyed it when we visited. Looking forward to a Cluj video!
We did make it to Salina Turda!! Finally!! That video will be out Friday with Cluj coming out on Saturday. Thank you for watching Daniel.
Cheers!!!🍻
You found our Favourite town in all of eastern Europe! When you go back....go back to revisit the Cathedral and look for Draculas ( Vlad the Impaler) son is interned there !! And get over the height issue and go to the top of the tower. The mechanism and the amazing views are worth it. We are planning on making it our base for further explorations. Keep up the vids! Cheers Sten and Rita🤩
We had such a great time in Sibiu. We hope to go back to Romania within the next couple of years. Thank you for watching and happy travels!
Cheers!!🍻
Glad you enjoy it . I hope you didnt miss the vilage museum because Sibiu has an incredibile one
Hi, Maria. We had to decide what we wanted to experience while in Sibiu and we did not make it to the Village museum. So many great sights to see unfortunately we couldn't see everything. Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie is a wonderful City, the thing is most of what you saw is german settlers influence so the village museum was actualy you see Romania .
Romania is a safe country to live now...
We have had no concerns at all with safety for the two months that we have been here. Romania is a beautiful country!! Thank you, Dan.
Cheers!!🍻
4:08 'O sole mio" is a well-known Neapolitan song written in 1898
This beautiful city was constructed, and founded by German immigrants. Its German name: Hermannstadt.. It was the capitol of the fortified cities of Siebenbürgensachsen , a colonial system founded and cultivated by the large German population of Transylvania of past centuries.
We are visiting Sibiu in October 😊
You will have a great time!! Thank you for watching!!!
Cheers!!!🍻
That was a lot of feed. I see someone ate the entire meal. That is ok...you guys walk a lot. Have a great week. btw...we are visiting Spain first week of oct. YAY
I'll bet you can't wait! Valencia?
That bridge near the clock tower at the beginning is the Liar’s Bridge. Young men in the Middle Ages would meet on the bridge and promise their girlfriends to marry them after returning from the army….
👏❤️🙌
I've noticed that you try to travel to expensive locations on off season or shoulder season. How expensive do the places in Romania feel in the middle of summer?
Oh, and great editing! Timing and cuts are really on point.
Good observation! Romania has been on budget for us. We knew that we would pay more for the summer months but overall Romania is less expensive than most places that we could have visited. We will have a cost video out soon. Thank you for watching and supporting our channel!
Dessert beer! lol!
😜
Hi guys! Love the video! Sibiu is beautiful. Question, how much was the dinner?
We usually add the price in the video and missed it this time, our mistake. We paid $26.00 USD for everything and it was really good!!!
Cheers!!!🍻
The food looked delicious!
👍👍🙋👍👍
Hermannstadt/Sibiu and Riga. Two of the most beautiful German cities. You could have an imagination of how Germany looked before the bombing campaigns
guys u gotta see also the black sea (Mamaia - luxury resort, Vama Veche - hippie resort)
also Therme Bucharest is a must see (largest spa in europe)
We only have a couple more days in Romania, Dacian. After two months here we realize that we need to come back to see everything that we missed. Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
I personally don't think the Romanian seaside is worth seeing. It is not the same as it was many years ago. It got worse and worse. Plus, from somebody who just came from portugal, the Black Sea is not beautiful to look at
@@loredanachiriac1 actually you got it all wrong about the seaside...my experience there was a very good one, i stayed in Olimp for 3 days and everything was tip top
"Mamaia - luxury resort" - only when it comes to prices, otherwise there's nothing luxurious about it. As a Romanian I wouldn't recommend our sea side to anyone at the moment, there's a lot of work to be done there until it becomes worth visiting.
Ce ma Mamaia stațiune de lux,am fost după mulți ani la mare,e jale mare,în afara de Constanța restul arata ca după bombardamente
How many months do you plan out your stays? Dreaming of this journey. Five years and counting. Have to get kids through school first. Love your videos and how you share information!
Hi, Jamie. We usually plan out 3 months ahead on our location and about a month ahead on our Airbnb. We do watch for accommodations to make sure there are plenty available so we know that we will have a place when we do decide to book. Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Hi I enjoyed watching your video on Sibiu Romania.❤️
Please can you tell how to get from Sibiu to Brasov? Thank you 🥰
We took the train! 😃
Guys, i recomand you to visit also Iași, Oradea, Constanța, or the Danube delta. These are some amazing places în România
Romania was created by uniting 3 states who were speaking the same language. Transylvania is very pretty, with many castles and medieval towns, it looks like central Europe. I would recommend to take the plane directly to Sibiu, Cluj, Brasov etc for a first trip. Moldova and Wallachia, including Bucharest, are balkanic and have fewer castles, they are cool for a second trip to Romania.
Thank you, Razvan!!
Cheers!!🍻
Not really, Transylvania/Siebenbürgen was German since the 12th century. With the beginning of the 18th century the first Romanians arrived. Till the deportation of most of the Germans (Siebenbürgen Sachsen) it was a heavy influenced German city till 1945
@@Freigeist2008😂😂
Hi Brian and Carrie, could you tell me what months you were actually there please? and yest definitely on our list now... thank you 🙂
We traveled through Romania in July and August. Happy You've added it to your list.... It's a beautiful county ❤️.
La comida la bebidas los postres son excelentes en Rumanía, diría que es la más diversa y elaborada de toda Europa la que más variedad tiene.
Excluyendo el marisco, lo tiene TODO.
La cervezas son muchas y exelente calidades, el tiempo es fabuloso em verano.
We had a wonderful time in Romania and plan to make a return trip one day. Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!🍻
Did you book your accommodation with Booking or Airbnb in Romania? I really like Brian's sense of humour!
Thank you!!! 😂😅 We use Airbnb most of the time. We did use Bookings one time in Albania and it was a good experience so it really comes down to price and convenience. Thank you for watching!!!
Cheers!!!🍻
I like Sibiu but for me and my family Brașov is on top
We loved Brasov! We spent two weeks there and really liked the way the video turned out. Great place to explore! Thank you for watching!
Cheers 🍻
What was the name of the restaurant with the traditional meat in Sibiu? How long did you stay in each spot in Romania?
Hi, Jennifer! The place is call Crama Sibiul Vechi. We will leave the link below. We highly recommend it!
Cheers!!🍻 sibiulvechi.ro/en
Great video, thanks!
Entry to that museum you skipped, was expensive indeed … wherever I see the eu (intentionally without capitals) flag, I usually run fast and far, because it became some sort of symbol of expensiveness. Sibiu is a nice city, I’ve been there a few times some years ago … it is incredible how such a nice city can be the native place of such a clown president (he was born there).
I am so glad you had a warm weather, just as you like it most. If you are the ones who bring nice weather, come again … if not, come again anyway, you will always be welcome in Romania.
Looking forward to your next video.
Take care, stay safe and have a wonderful time.
Cheers …
Thank you Kay for always commenting, we really appreciate all the support and positive thoughts to the channel!
Cheers 🍻
I'm curious. During your visit to Romania did you use English or Romanian while interacting with people in shops, restaurants, etc.? What was your experience like with this?
Mostly English everywhere we have gone. The only time we have had any language barrier was at the train station.
@@BrianandCarrie Thank you for your response. I'm enjoying your videos!
Thank you, Matt!
Cheers 🍻
Dessert beer - nothing wrong there!
Nothing at all!!😆
Cheers!!!🍻
Beautiful place , thank you, is it a place you would consider moving to? , cost of living , safety , etc thanks fir your input 🤗
The cost of living and safety are very good in Romania. As much as we love this country we would want to be close to the coast and beaches. Thank you for continuing to support us!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Do you usually pay with cash for meals and groceries or do you use your credit card?
We usually use cards but cash is sometimes easier so we do carry small amounts of cash with us.
Cheers!!🍻
i hope you are still in Sibiu because you missed the best place with the best beer and ribbs. the place is called ribbs and beer. (13 beer and sticky oven ribbs)
Hi, Alex. We went twice and once they were closed and the second time it was outside seating only and it was way too hot!! We did show the cool sign in the video!! 😂 Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie oh man, you missed such a good artizanal beer. GL in your travels!
Thank you, Alex! We had some of the beer at a different place with bottles. Craft beer seen is fantastic!!🍻
Is there any mosque in Romania?
Yes, there are mosque in Romania.
Instagram City :))
for sure!!
The city is called Nagyszeben in Hungarian. It was formed in the 12th century. It was part of Transylvania (Erdély) until 1920, when the treaty of Trianon divided Hungary and the city like other part of Hungary became the part of Rumania.
During the Austro-Hungarian Empire the city of Nagyszeben, Sibiu had German, Hungarian and Rumanian population.
On today's territory of the city of Sibiu and all the other settlements around Sibiu, there were Dacian settlements. The Dacians were the ancestors of today's Romanians.
A real proof is the Dacian Citadel from Tilișca, together with the related settlement, is located on the Cățănaș hill and was discovered in 1957. The oldest habitation of the Cățănaș hill was archaeologically documented in the first Iron Age, the Hallstatt civilization, the phases A, B and C, in the XII-VII centuries BC. BC Then the first fortification system was erected, consisting of the outer wall of the fortress. After an interruption of several centuries, the fortress will be inhabited again by the Dacians, starting from the 3rd century BC. From the 1st century BC, the fortified defense system inherited from the Hallstatt fortress was rebuilt and expanded, by strengthening and raising the border of the upper plateau. Another "pincer" entrance was arranged on the northwest side.
The residential tower was also built and dozens of terraces were laid out, mainly for defense, but also for living. The fortress thus becomes a fortified center of the Dacian state, with remarkable craft activity.
In the middle of 12th century, our era, the Saxons and Szeklers appeared on the territory of present-day Transylvania. Transylvania was always, before Christ, Dacian territory. Dacian ruins and settlements bear witness, some discovered, on the ruins of the old Dacian fortresses are now covered by the current fortresses and fortifications made by the Saxons.
Transylvania was and is Romanian territory. The Hungarians, who were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, took this territory and killed many of the Romanians who were always in the majority, changed their names to Hungarian names, killed their families, fields were taken and their houses set on fire. So, who is older in this territory of Transylvania???? You, the Hungarians, who came to Transylvania in the 12th century, or the Romanians, the majority of the population, who were here before, from the time of the Dacians, before Christ????
Thank you both for sharing your enthusiasm about romania 🙂
I am Romanian, living in Denmark for more than 20 years. I am interested in asking you a couple of questions, but I am afraid I will make it too long here plus would get too personal 🙂 do you guys have an email address maybe?
Yes! Brianandcarrie21@gmail.com
Auzi loredana, romania is a frumos country but oamen are prost
