Sibiu or Hermannstadt as it goes by it's german name, was one of the two european cultural capitals last year, the other was Luxembourg I think, I don't realy care that much!

I got all the images from Google Earth and it required a lot of patience and tobacco! I don't really smoke, it's just a saying where I'm from!

Please enjoy this trip to one of the most picturesque cities (or maybe towns) in Europe!

First some higher ground images!

And some street level shots as well!

Hope you liked Sibiu, I'll be back!

We have some really beautiful cities in Romania, unfortunately they've been spoiled by "communist architecture"! But that's part of our heritage too, I guess we have to live with that!

10x for the posts and opinions guys! I think that house is actually called The House With Eyes, but I'm not really sure!

Frumos foc Sibiul! Nu am apucat sa trec pe-acolo decat de cateva ori in graba, gen doar 2-3 ore, dar sper sa-mi fac timp candva sa fac o vizita de vreo cateva zile bune. Este minunat ca nu a ajuns Ceasca sa darame tot pentru a-si tranti cutiile de chibrituri acolo. Arata ca un oras cu adevarat European, organizat, curat, cu persoane civilizate si primitoare. Si-a meritat titlul de Capitala Culturala Europeana 2007 impreuna cu Luxemburgul pe deplin!
Sper ca viitorii primari sa se ocupe de toata infrastructura orasului, pentru ca este o bijuterie a Romaniei.

Handz up 4 Sibiu! :cheers:
