Three Must-Visit Local Attractions

1. The Old Town of Sibiu Just a 15-minute walk from Villa Santa Maria, Sibiu’s medieval Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site in waiting. Cobblestone streets, pastel-colored houses with characteristic “eyebrow” dormers, and three grand squares (the Large, Small, and Huet) form a living museum. Climb the Council Tower for panoramic views, and don't miss the Liar’s Bridge—legend says it groans when someone untruthful crosses.

2. Brukenthal National Museum Housed in a stunning 18th-century Baroque palace, one of the oldest museums in Europe. Its art collections span Flemish, German, and Romanian masters, and the museum also hosts temporary exhibitions. The palace’s inner courtyard café is perfect
