Sibiu was founded in the twelfth century by Transylvanian Saxons, but among all the cities built by by them, it was the largest, the wealthiest and the most powerful one.
Our apartment was located in the city center, on the famous Azilului street, next to the Liars' Bridge, which was the first iron bridge in Romania. We did not want to loose time and we went for a walk to discover Sibiu.
We did not have a plan, we just wanted to walk around with no purpose. We were taking random streets and discovering Sibiu's hidden gems located in the Upper town and Lower town with colorful houses and cobblestone streets.
Sibiu turned out to be a very lovely and charming city. Also much bigger than Sighisoara.
In the late afternoon, in Piata Mare, there was some festival, so we had
opportunity to watch some traditional dances performed by dozens of
dancers.
