Well worth the climb to the top for the views. And the late 1400's clock mechanism on the 6th floor was interesting.
5. Orthodox Cathedral Holy Trinity
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 240 reviews
This is the second largest Orthodox Cathedral in Romania.
Reviewed By Honisoiquimalypense - Derby, United Kingdom
This is quite an impressive building from outside with its red and yellow striped brick work - very Byzantine in appearance. It was apparently modelled on the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and is the seat of the Romania Orthodox Archbishop of Sibiu. Although the outside is quite magnificent in its own way - the inside is fabulous - ornately decorated and painted with a great altar. This is the umber one attraction in Sibiu, in my opinion.
6. Medieval city of Sibiu
Overall Ratings

7. Ocna Sibiului Salt Mine

Reviewed By EasyFigure - Clearwater, United States
I'm biased when writing this review but it's because I spent in this place all my childhood holidays. Now an American, I miss the "mud" baths and was challenged to describe what this means to me. First of all, the "mud" is clay; not just any but a naturally enriched clay with minerals that are therapeutic for arthritis, skin issues, and others. The water has the salinity a bit less than that of the Dead Sea; the value of your money is certainly cheaper (not to deter anybody from going to Israel, on the contrary, that place is amazing on so many fronts). A bit further away from this place there is also a nudist place, something that many would walk away from; if that's your enjoyment, nobody will bother you. Eating local food is the best part of it. If the traditional music is not on your taste, move away. When I was a child there was little shade from the nearby trees; now there are restaurants, a massage service, games, and all you need to buy for a couple of dollars. Entrance is something like $3 for the entire day; beat that if you can! Making B&B arrangements in this area is better with private owners to get a real feeling of the archaic way of life. If you want to see cows returning home by themselves, pet farm animals or just simply wonder on the hills and hear the trains whistle, have the backpack experience, this is the place to be. Downtown Ocna Sibiului the internet is free though the signal is not always strong (or secure for that matter). I always enjoyed being here without wearing a watch; let time stretch out when talking with the locals, seeing the same way of life as it was 100 years ago. It's not for everyone especially Generation Z. But if you can convince a teen to join you, they might just learn about more meaningful things in life than the virtual world: social skills 101, raw nature, farming, appreciation of family. I can't wait to go back.
