One of the big attractions in Transylvania is Sibiu. Recently appointed as EU capital of culture, the square and many of the streets have a certain western European gleam to them. An old Saxon town, it is very walkable, with plenty of cobbled stones and 3 main squares. It is also a student town, but when we visited in July they were on their summer holidays, so the vibe wasn’t studenty per se. We happily meandered for several hours in the heat until our feet began to melt into our shoes! The houses are adorned with tiled roofs, which also have eyelet shapes in them, which give the sense of being watched. Managed to pick up some maps of the Fagaras Mountains and Bucegi Mountains with hiking trails marked. Which meant we could at last go safely into the mountains. Or so we thought.
