Sibiu: A Whimsical Waltz Through Watchful Rooftops

#cityplaybook 📍 Sibiu, Romania #cityplaybook #sibiu #romaniatravel #hiddengems #whimsicaltowns #medievaleurope A Transylvanian treasure where the rooftops have eyes and every street feels like a secret. Sibiu is the kind of place that lives between fairy tales and reality. Cobblestone lanes curl around pastel buildings, their quirky rooftops peering down with sly “eyes”—like the city itself is alive and watching, playfully whimsical. I crossed the famous Bridge of Lies, lingered in Piata Mare, and climbed the Council Tower for a view that stitched together spires, squares, and time itself. Tip: Warm up with ciorbă de burtă (tripe soup) or enjoy a rustic dessert like papanasi—delicious Romanian donuts with cheese and jam. Must-snaps: • Rooftops with “eyes” in the Upper Town • Golden hour from the Council Tower • Lantern-lit streets in the Lower Town Sibiu doesn’t just invite you—it enchants you, quietly and completely.
