Muzeul de Farmacie Sibiu

The Pharmacy Museum in Sibiu is arranged in a historic building in the city centre that once housed one of the oldest pharmacies in Transylvania, with an activity spanning several centuries. The museum, part of the Brukenthal National Museum, presents visitors with the development of the pharmaceutical art, with instruments, containers, ceramic and glass vessels, scales, mortars and substances used over time to prepare medicines. The collections illustrate both traditional pharmaceutical practice and the development of medical science, including objects linked to homeopathy, whose founder had connections with Sibiu.

The authentic atmosphere of the rooms, with period furniture and shelving, carries the visitor into a pharmacy of times past. Set in the heart of the Sibiu historic centre, near the Great Square and other sites, the museum is easy to include in a tour of the city. It is recommended for those interested in the history of medicine and pharmacy and in the rich cultural heritage of Sibiu, a city with European traditions.

Muzeul ASTRAMuseum

Muzeul ASTRA

The ASTRA Museum in Sibiu, set in the Dumbrava Forest, is one of the largest open-air museums in Europe, a true reconstruction of the traditional Romanian village across dozens of hectares of forest and meadows. Over four hundred authentic structures — peasant houses, farmsteads, water and wind mills, craft workshops, wooden churches and folk technical installations — were brought from every region of the country and carefully reassembled, telling the story of Romanian rural civilisation. Visitors follow picturesque paths beside a lake, discovering crafts, demonstrations and traditional fairs held periodically. It is a living lesson in ethnography and a delightful place to walk in any season, especially in autumn. Set aside several good hours to explore it at leisure and wear comfortable footwear. Check the visiting schedule and the calendar of hosted events.

Catedrala Sfânta Treime din SibiuChurch

Catedrala Sfânta Treime din Sibiu

The Holy Trinity Cathedral of Sibiu is the city's main Orthodox cathedral and an important landmark of Transylvanian religious architecture. Raised in the early twentieth century, the cathedral was built in a Neo-Byzantine style, visibly inspired by the great Hagia Sophia church in Constantinople, with an imposing central dome and a spacious, bright interior decorated with rich murals and a remarkable iconostasis. The edifice reflects the assertion of the Romanian Orthodox community of Sibiu at a time when the city was dominated by the Saxon tradition and Lutheran churches. The facade, with its towers and alternating brickwork, and the tall dome roofed in ceramic, stand out in the urban landscape. The cathedral lies near the historic centre, in an area easily reached on foot, forming part of the circuit of Sibiu's monuments. The interior, with its solemn atmosphere and fine acoustics, impresses visitors. As an active place of worship, the cathedral holds regular services, and visitors are asked to respect the quiet and dress appropriate to a sacred space.

Podul MinciunilorLandmark

Podul Minciunilor

The Liars' Bridge in Sibiu, spanning a street in the lower town in the heart of the historic centre, is the first cast-iron bridge in Romania and one of the oldest of its kind in Europe, cast in the mid-19th century at the region's famous foundries. The small pedestrian bridge, with elegant railings and ironwork ornaments, links the Lesser Square to the ramp descending to the lower town and offers a picturesque view of the tiled roofs and the city's famous "house eyes." Its colourful name has given rise to entertaining legends about dishonest merchants and lovers with empty vows, told by guides with humour. It is a small but emblematic spot where every visitor pauses for a photograph. It stands in the centre of Sibiu, steps from the Great Square; visiting is free and possible at any time.
