Piața Mare

“The Little Square is in the old city and historical center of the city, full of restaurants, bars, terraces (in summer)”

“Nicolae Balcescu street is the main pedestrian street that links the ensemble of the old squares with the new part of the town. It takes 10-15 minutes to walk from an end of the street to another one. Zara has always good discounts and it's definitely cheaper than anywhere else. Galeriile Pacea is a multilevel store with Chinese products. Humanitas Bookstore has also guide and maps for Romania/Sibiu and downstairs you can have a tea/coffee while reading a book.”

“The Romanian cultural association ASTRA decided in 1897 to establish a museum of Romanian civilisation as a "shelter for keeping the past". The museum was opened in 1905, under the supervision of Cornel Diaconovici, in what is today the ASTRA Palace in Sibiu, built through a public subscription with the specific purpose of creating a museum. In 1929, in Cluj, an open-air Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania was created, and in 1932 the Village Museum was opened in Bucharest by Dimitrie Gusti.”

“The Brukenthal National Museum (Romanian: Muzeul Naţional Brukenthal; German: Brukenthalmuseum) is a museum, erected in the late 18th century in Sibiu, Transylvania, Romania, housed in the palace of Samuel von Brukenthal — who was Habsburg governor of Transylvania and who established its first collections around 1790. The collections were officially opened to the public in 1817, making it the oldest institution of its kind in Romania. It is a complex of six museums, which, without being separate administrative entities, are situated in different locations around the city and have their own distinct cultural programmes.”

“The most important marketplace in town, where you can find a nice variety of products from the local cheesemakers, tasty sausages, and pastrami.”
