"Sibiu, the former capital of Transylvania, proved a wonderful place to visit. The city's old town is on a hill, with every other building in the three main squares and the sidestreets seemingly a historic monument, dominated by the medieval Lutheran cathedral of Saint Mary. The characteristic design of attic windows makes it clear why Sibiu is called the town of a thousand eyes, and the Teutsch Haus provides a brilliant history of the region and the Transylvanian Saxons."
"The hefty student population gives the city a real buzz, from the boat and beach bars along the River Oder (try Forma Pynna beach bar), to the delicious Georgian bakeries (stop at Piekarnia Gruzinska PURI on Facebook for pastries on the way to checking out the painted backyards of the Nadodrze neighbourhood). While tourists concentrate around the huge central square,"
Sibiu features a hilltop old town dominated by the medieval Lutheran cathedral of Saint Mary and distinctive attic windows that earned the nickname town of a thousand eyes. The Teutsch Haus presents local history of the region and Transylvanian Saxons. The old town contains numerous restaurants and cafes and a riverside market selling giant aubergines, tomatoes and peppers. Wine Not offers a wide selection of Romanian and Moldovan wines and a resident black cat. Wrocław combines quirkiness and beauty with a strong student scene, river bars, Georgian bakeries, painted Nadodrze backyards, and lively old-town pubs and bistros. Helsinki is noted for world-class architecture and cinematic associations with Aki Kaurismäki.
