Impressive Sibiu, Charming Sibel: Brukenthal Palace, Evangelical Cathedral

Get a taste of ancient Saxon life in the city and the countryside on this tour of Sibiu and Sibiel


Overview
Spend a day exploring the ancient treasures of Sibiu and spend an evening in the heart of the Romanian hinterland.

The largest and wealthiest of the walled cities built by the Transylvanian Saxons in the 12th century, the medieval allure of Sibiu has been wonderfully preserved.

Explore a palace-cum-museum from the 18th century, where medieval weaponry, rare artwork, and ancient Romanian literature are on display.

Admire the Gothic splendor of the Evangelical Cathedral—which towers above the town at a height of 74 meters—and learn how the son of Dracula met his bloody fate.

Venture to the small hamlet of Sibiel, where you’ll enjoy a home-cooked Saxon meal at a traditional rural inn and spend a night in the quaint Romanian countryside.
