This former “European Capital of Culture” earned the moniker due to its proliferation of theaters, music festivals and museums. Train buffs can check out the delightful Steam Locomotive Museum and the unusual Pharmaceutical Museum, with its cringe-inducing old surgical tools, will definitely keep your attention. After a visit to Sibiu, you will also always associate it with the distinctive, eye-shaped windows in many of the houses. And it’s a convenient base for exploring Romania’s famous fortified churches.
