The Eyes of Sibiu will be on you at every turn if The Eyes of Sibiu will be on you at every turn if you visit this unique city in Transylvania 👁️👁️ Many of the rooftops here have narrow window slits cut into them, with a dark opening in the centre which makes them look like eyes watching you 👀 In fact, these windows were designed for ventilation purposes as items such as grain, meats, and cheeses were stored in the attics. This design let air flow through the attic without allowing too much sunlight to enter 🪟 The windows have a history dating back to the 15th century, but most of the ones seen today are from the 19th century 😳 Have you seen the Eyes of Sibiu before? Or in any other nearby city in Romania? 🇷🇴 • • • • • • • • • • #sibiu #sibiu❤️ #sibiuromania #sibiucounty #sibiumylove #romania #visitromania #romaniatravel #travel #traveltips #travelblogger #kristatheexplorer #romaniamagica #sibiueyes #visitsibiu #historicplaces #uniquedestinations #historyblogger
With over 900 years worth of history to uncover, S With over 900 years worth of history to uncover, Sibiu should be near the top of your Romania bucket list 👌🏼 It features the largest example of a medieval urban settlement in the country, and it’s most well known for it’s historic buildings with rooftops that gaze down at you. The eye-shaped windows were initially installed for ventilation purposes, but they’ve now become a symbol of the city 👁️👁️ It’s a good idea to spend a least one full day in Sibiu’s old town so you have enough time to explore the cobbled streets, walk around the various squares, and find some hidden gems along the way 🚶🏼‍♀️ 🥐 @warosebakery 🍲 @restaurantlaturn Have you been to Sibiu in Romania yet? 🇷🇴 • • • • • • • • • • #sibiu #visitsibiu #sibiu❤️ #sibiuromania #romania #romaniatravel #visitromania #kristatheexplorer #travel #traveltips #travelblogger #travelblog #uniquedestinations #europetravel #sibiuoldtown #historicplaces #sibiucity #sibiumylove
Sibiu is one of the most visited cities in Romania Sibiu is one of the most visited cities in Romania, so it’s certainly worth spending at least one night here during a trip to Romania 🙌🏼 We found a beautiful luxurious four bedroom guesthouse to stay in, located only a 10 minute walk from the walls of the old town 🚶🏼‍♀️ @kesletz.house is situated in a mid-century building that’s been lovingly renovated. Our room, the Bibliotheque Suite, is very spacious and pays homage to the original purpose of the room - a library. It also features blackout curtains and a rainforest shower, so you’re sure to have a quiet and relaxing stay 🛌 And it doesn’t matter what time you arrive either, because you’ll be provided with a personal code to enter the building and your room on the day of arrival 👌🏼 Do you enjoy staying at convenient guesthouses when you travel? 🇷🇴 • • • • • • • • • • #sibiu #sibiu❤️ #sibiuromania #sibiucity #visitsibiu #visitromania #romaniatravel #romania #kristatheexplorer #traveltips #travel #travelblogger #travelmore #guesthouse #luxuryaccommodation #hiddengems #mysibiu #discoverromania #transylvania
