Spend a day in the capital of the historical region of Transylvania, the city of Sibiu. There you'll admire one of the most beautiful medieval cityscapes in Romania, as evidenced by the city's title as "European Capital of Culture". On the drive down, you'll find out more about the Saxons roots, their colonization in Transylvania and their cultural impact on the country. In Sibiu, you'll start off by seeing the city's walls and the three main squares. Then, you'll visit two of the most important churches. Climbing up to the top of the Council Tower will give you a beautiful overview of the old city.

We visit the fortified church in Cristian to learn of local saxon traditions and way of life in this village. It all looks like time stood still in the 19th century here.
