Although it has been a popular destination for a long time now, it really rose to fame after it held the title of European Cultural Capital in 2007, along with Luxembourg, another city that I’m in love with. Years have passed and Sibiu not only kept its reputation as a cultural hub but even consolidated it by being the city host of several national or international fashion, food, sport or art festivals. No matter how the city will lure you to wander on its cobbled streets, you will soon discover all the other things that are great about it - and that’s mainly its history, food, and peculiar architecture - the houses with eyes on the roof.
