Hello, My name is Mark Tudose and few years ago I have start "Art & Crafts" in Sighisoara. At first I have made a local artist gallery with handmade products around Sighisoara. I do the wood part in the gallery. In time we developed more opening a museum section for our gallery with pieces made of wood about 50 years ago. This year is for the first time when we will open this museum part for our customers. So, feel free to visit us and let me know your opinion. I really think that the only way for a craft it comes with the story behind. I hope you will like our stories.

Well worth the climb to the top for the views. And the late 1400's clock mechanism on the 6th floor was interesting.
6. Sf. Nicolae Church (Saint Nicholas)

St. Nicholas is more than a church. It is an Orthodox Cathedral as well as a Museum Complex as it also represents the First Romanian School, taught in Romanian in times where schooling was regarded as a luxury and subjects were mostly presented in French, German or Latin. St. Nicholas is an amazingly beautiful monument in itself and while in Brasov, I highly recommend stopping for a visit.

Reviewed By sricu1 - Tel Aviv, Israel
The cathedral was built in 1520 on the building of a 12th century Romanesque church. In the foreground stands the statue of George Daniel Tautz, Bishop of Sibiu from 1899. The cathedral is Gothic-style and has five towers, the highest of which is 73 meters high and is seen from almost everywhere in the city The eastern wall of the church is covered with a huge painting (more than 9 meters high), painted by the painter "Rosano" in 1445, showing the crucifixion of Jesus. The largest organ in all of Southeastern Europe, located in the Baroque style dating from 1671, has six thousand pipes and in the summer months of June-September, there are concerts for organ organisms on Wednesdays.
9. Orthodox Cathedral Holy Trinity

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.
10. Pivnita lui Teo - Teo's Cellar
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 115 reviews
At Teo’s 500-year-old cellar you can taste, enjoy and buy different sorts of local alcoholic beverages such as brandies and liquoirs. Among those several have received different prizes for their outstanding quality at national and international fairs. Our family has been producing these beverages for the past 200 years following traditional recipes perfected by local Saxons for centuries from the local area, also known as Tarnava Valley. Our brandy is kept in oak barrels for at least 3 years.

We spent a very pleasant 2 hours in Teo's cellar and in his company. What can we say? As a couple who very regularly go wine-tasting, we can confirm that his wines are delicious, his award-winning cognac is fabulous, and his fruit liquors and brandies are superb! If we were to revisit Sighisoara, we'd happily stay in Teo's accommodation next time.
