About this activity

Do you know that Sibiu never hired an army? Its potters, carpenters, and goldsmiths were each handed a tower and expected to hold it.

Dracula's son was stabbed to death at a church door in Sibiu, and his tombstone is still here. These are the kind of stories you will hear on this self-guided walking tour of Sibiu. It is an audio tour you play on the app, with no groups, so you choose the start time and set the pace.

As you walk through the city, you will stand in the square where a revolution left bullet scars in the stone, meet Conrad Haas, the arsenal master who sketched multistage rockets four centuries before spaceflight, cross the Bridge of Lies, and walk the best-preserved stretch of the old wall.

Pause for a coffee, skip a stop or step inside where you like. Ideal for curious travelers and history lovers who want the story behind the stones.
