[We recommend visiting Sibiu to anyone of any age. In a few words, it's enchanting, medieval, colorful, crisp, and elegant.]
Sibiu is known as "the town with eyes" because of distinguishable eye-shaped windows in the city's large building that appear to be looking at you. The medieval architecture of Sibiu, well preserved from the 12th and 13th century, is painted with pastel colors and topped with elegant churches and bell towers. We loved spotting them for the entire month we lived in Sibiu and realized how much character it adds to the city.
If any of you noticed, we provided a stamp of approval with our names on it for the restaurant "Charlie's Speciality Coffee and Brunch" in the Lower Town of Sibiu. This personal virtual stamp of approval is something we have decided to award only THE BEST restaurants/meals we experience around the world. Charlie's was deserving of this stamp, the first one we have ever made! Look out for more in videos to come :)
Living here for a month during November to December couldn't have lined up better with one of the city's main attractions, the Sibiu Christmas Market, which we visited nearly a dozen times. The Christmas Market is in Piața Mare and truly is the number one highlight of Sibiu this time of year. It really makes Sibiu, Romania a must visit in the winter.
The little square, Piața Mică, felt like a true central point of attractions in the city. Its bowl shape and large area made it feel wide open, and you could spot some of Sibiu's top things to do (on our list) in all directions. Bridge of Lies and The Council Tower top the list for what is to be found in the small square. The Grand Square and Huet Square can be reached in a few minutes walking, as well as the lower town. Yes, all these attractions on our life in Sibiu are this close together, except for ASTRA Open Air Museum.
The ASTRA Open Air Museum just outside of Sibiu was certainly its own unique experience from anything else on our list. The 10 km long outdoor museum had hundreds of replicated medieval (folkloric) Romanian buildings and houses from all different regions of Romania.
This museum is the largest of its kind (outdoor) in Europe and 2nd largest in the world!
"Honestly, as I explore other countries since visiting Sibiu, it climbs my list higher and higher. I have become sure that it is one of the top 3 coolest cities I have ever been to." -Griffin
We have visited and explored 3 major cities in Romania: Brasov, Bucharest and Sibiu. We are planning on returning to all three again, and also visiting (for the first time) Cluj Napoca and more of the Transylvanian countryside. We are not sure when we will be back, but we are certain that we will.
Look out for our next video where we try some tasty traditional Romanian food around Sibiu and Brasov.🍴🥘

A local told me that it was named the bridge of lies because soldiers going off to war would take their significant others to that bridge and “lie” to them telling them they would return safely
Never heard this, very interesting thank you!

Where’s Archie?🐈 Please include at least one clip of him in your vlogs. I bet you’d get more views and subs if you did.
He was at home during these adventures, he loved it in Romania because the place we stayed in was like a jungle gym for him. He had a whole bunk bed to himself lol. He will be in much more of our videos going forward! Looking to sort of give him his own series of adventure videos on here to go with our other travel content.
👍😀😻Subbed.
Guys, love your videos, but people that don't already know geography and culture might get the wrong idea. Sibiu is not located in the Balkan Peninsula and culturally wise it was more influenced by German/Hungarian/Austrian culture along with, of course, Romanian one. Dobrogea, in the South-East is actually part of the Balkan Peninsula and has about 12 minorities with their own influences and styles living harmoniously there.
Not even Dobrogea is Geographically in Balkans! BTW. Now is recognized there is not event Balkan Peninsula (which was the concept of some German geographer!). Balkans are more a geopolitical concept!
very interesting, never have heard this.. worth changing the title perhaps?
@@VenturousVagabonds ”...The concept of the Balkan Peninsula was created by the German geographer August Zeune in 1808, who mistakenly considered the Balkan Mountains the dominant mountain system of Southeast Europe spanning from the Adriatic Sea to the Black Sea. The term Balkan Peninsula was a synonym for Rumelia in the 19th century, the European provinces of the Ottoman Empire. It had a geopolitical rather than a geographical definition, which was further promoted during the creation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in the early 20th century. The definition of the Balkan Peninsula's natural borders does not coincide with the technical definition of a peninsula; hence modern geographers reject the idea of a Balkan Peninsula, while historical scholars usually discuss the Balkans as a region...” (Balkans-Wiki)
