Lovely Sibiu.
I arrived in Sibiu Romania, early morning, off the night train from Budapest in Hungary.
in November 2016. Sibiu was busy getting ready for the Christmas Market, so hotels
nearly full. i did not have a hotel booking. At a hostal that was full a helpful man
rang a hotel for me, that's how i came to be at the hotel Gallant. 140 lei or £28 in Strada Aurig,
. Good value. (2021 £31 ) There was a good restuarant . National and International menu. i stayed 2 nights. Airport is 3 miles away On leaving because i was
departing before i could have breakfast they gave me a packed breakfast to take
with me. Sibiu is a lovely place in the Transyllvannia Plateau in Central Romania. There are 3
squares which make up the main town, with steps and road down to the Lower town. The preserved
medieval walls are great feature. First recorded mention of Sibiu dates from 1191
AD . The architecture of the historic town centre is mainly Baroque and Neoclassical.
