SIBIU Romania 🇷🇴 - Must Visit! (Beautiful Town in Transylvania) 2022

[@BrianandCarrie]

Sibiu, Romania was such a beautiful city to explore, we absolutely loved the time we spent here. Have you visited Romania before? Or, have you decided to add it to your list of places to travel to?

[@gullygullible9774]

I've visited Romania 3 times in 1 year I was in Sibiu just after Xmas The 🎄 market is the best in All of Romania really enjoying your videos All the best 👍

I am so glad you visited The Holy Trinity Cathedral (Orthodox cathedral) which is a splendour ! With all those colors and murals, absolutely exceptional !

We're in Sibiu this week and we had dinner at this place last night. Wow, it did not disappoint! Thanks for the recommendation.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Such great memories for us! We loved Sibiu. 😁

[@tcurtisFl]

Romania looks fantastic. We’d love for you to include a Airbnb tour and the costs of you meals. Can we see more churches?🤣🤪

[@BrianandCarrie]

Romania is fantastic!! Unfortunately, our Airbnb in Sibiu was not worth showing!!!! We left 3 days early!!😆 Our meal at the restaurant was $26.00 total, such a great deal!! We usually have the cost in the video but somehow missed it in the edit. Our mistake. 🙄 We had the church conversation and decided that we will only show churches that our extraordinarily over the top from now on!!😂😂 Thank you for watching!! Cheers!!!🍻

[@simonabarbu7646]

If you pick a place to stay, choose the upper town. In the lower town where you have stayed, even if is cheaper, is less comfortable. As you will say in America, is up and coming.

There are many places in Romania to see, the romanian government doesn't do such a good job in promoting the country, KZbinrs who travel the world like Brian and Carrie have done far more promotion to Romania than the government. As for towns and cities that worth seeing are many Sibiu - overall a pretty city Sighisoara - lots of colorful buildings Oradea - one of the most restored cities in Romania Brasov - there are so many things to do here from wondering the old town to hiking to the near by mountain Postavarul Massif Bucharest - a mix of old and new, has one of the biggest mall in Eastern Europe with a build in mountain façade, not mentioning the largest building in Europe Alba Iulia - largest fortress in Romania, on foot to visit the whole thing it would take at least 2 hours Hunedoara - this town has The Corvin Castle it is one of Europe's best kept medieval castles, oh yeah there are a lot of castles and fortress around Romania Timisoara, Cluj-Napoca, Iasi, Targu Mures, Baia Mare, Arad, all good looking cities and the list could go on and on, so many localities that has something to offer

[@BrianandCarrie]

Great rundown on everything Romania has to offer, John. We have had several viewers say how Romania is now on their list of places to explore! We have several more videos to come out in Romania! Cheers!!!🍻

[@dudmic]

@@BrianandCarrie thank you!

[@charlie4845]

As a Midwesterner who lived in Sibiu for 2 years, I can totally agree that this is a "must visit" city. I taught at the local university through the U.S. State Department's Fulbright Program. I will add, though, that there is so much more to see in Sibiu beyond the center city area. Some of the outlying small towns are also great. I did enjoy my visits to other Romanian cities, but--maybe because it was "home"--Sibiu was my favorite.

[@BrianandCarrie]

We loved our time in Romania and hope to return someday soon. The country is very underrated in our opinion. Thank you for watching and commenting!! Cheers!!🍻

[@Greg.from.Oradea]

Thank you so much for promoting my country ❤️ It usually is underrepresented (but understandably, as it's our fault for not promoting it more - private OR government wise). Not to mention the disastrous infrastructure ☹️ but, indeed, Romania IS a hidden gem. Hope you'll get to see Oradea as well (my favorite one in Romania, I'm from Bucharest). I've also been living in Poland for some years, and Budapest for a year now - Poland and Hungary really are true gems worthy of exploring as well ❤️❤️❤️ And not just Budapest and Kraków. Looking forward for your next videos on your Romanian galore trip. Take care both of you ❤️

So charming city! I liked Sibiu very much.

[@BrianandCarrie]

[@LoveStallion]

I was blown away by Sibiu. I was with a professional group that was doing some stuff on the outskirts of town, and I can't believe stopping into the historic center wasn't on the agenda. We broke off from the group and were able to run around the core for 30 mins or so and WOW. I'm dying to go back. If Sibiu was in Western Europe, it would be buried in tourism (not that it doesn't have tourists).

[@BrianandCarrie]

So happy to hear you got to see a bit of the city center. Such an beautiful place that definitely deserves more than 30 min. Thanks for watching!! Cheers 🍻

You misunderstood: the 150 lei were for a ticket that gives you access to all the museum in town that fall under the Brukenthal Museum administration, eight museums in total. The price just for this museum you wanted to visit is 39 lei. I am sure that you can find much more expensive museums across Europe. Yes, the filming tax is quite high and stupid (I don't why they enforce that) but unfortunately it is found in many museum here.

"Mamaia - luxury resort" - only when it comes to prices, otherwise there's nothing luxurious about it. As a Romanian I wouldn't recommend our sea side to anyone at the moment, there's a lot of work to be done there until it becomes worth visiting.

Romania was created by uniting 3 states who were speaking the same language. Transylvania is very pretty, with many castles and medieval towns, it looks like central Europe. I would recommend to take the plane directly to Sibiu, Cluj, Brasov etc for a first trip. Moldova and Wallachia, including Bucharest, are balkanic and have fewer castles, they are cool for a second trip to Romania.

The city is called Nagyszeben in Hungarian. It was formed in the 12th century. It was part of Transylvania (Erdély) until 1920, when the treaty of Trianon divided Hungary and the city like other part of Hungary became the part of Rumania. During the Austro-Hungarian Empire the city of Nagyszeben, Sibiu had German, Hungarian and Rumanian population.

[@radustroescu7108]

On today's territory of the city of Sibiu and all the other settlements around Sibiu, there were Dacian settlements. The Dacians were the ancestors of today's Romanians. A real proof is the Dacian Citadel from Tilișca, together with the related settlement, is located on the Cățănaș hill and was discovered in 1957. The oldest habitation of the Cățănaș hill was archaeologically documented in the first Iron Age, the Hallstatt civilization, the phases A, B and C, in the XII-VII centuries BC. BC Then the first fortification system was erected, consisting of the outer wall of the fortress. After an interruption of several centuries, the fortress will be inhabited again by the Dacians, starting from the 3rd century BC. From the 1st century BC, the fortified defense system inherited from the Hallstatt fortress was rebuilt and expanded, by strengthening and raising the border of the upper plateau. Another "pincer" entrance was arranged on the northwest side. The residential tower was also built and dozens of terraces were laid out, mainly for defense, but also for living. The fortress thus becomes a fortified center of the Dacian state, with remarkable craft activity. In the middle of 12th century, our era, the Saxons and Szeklers appeared on the territory of present-day Transylvania. Transylvania was always, before Christ, Dacian territory. Dacian ruins and settlements bear witness, some discovered, on the ruins of the old Dacian fortresses are now covered by the current fortresses and fortifications made by the Saxons.

[@manomanu8418]

Transylvania was and is Romanian territory. The Hungarians, who were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, took this territory and killed many of the Romanians who were always in the majority, changed their names to Hungarian names, killed their families, fields were taken and their houses set on fire. So, who is older in this territory of Transylvania???? You, the Hungarians, who came to Transylvania in the 12th century, or the Romanians, the majority of the population, who were here before, from the time of the Dacians, before Christ????
