On Cetății street you will find a couple of important old landmarks like the Potter’s Tower and the Carpenter’s Tower. You can visit the interior of those towers if you want but you will have to pay for a ticket.
These old towers can be found almost at the edge of the historic center of this beautiful Transylvanian city.


The Large Square
Another popular place in Sibiu is the Great Square where you will find many landmarks to visit. Besides the landmarks, you will also find many restaurants with terraces and various shops.
Among those important landmarks that are located in the the Great Square I can mention the Brukenthal National Museum which was the first museum in the region of Transylvania, the Council Tower and almost in the middle of the square you will find the Falkenhayn fountain.



The Small Square
After exploring the Greater Square it was time to head towards the Little Square which is actually a very short distance away.
The first stop was at the Lutheran Cathedral of Saint Mary which was recently restored.
Behind the Lutheran Cathedral, you will find the Guilds Tree and a the famous Liars bridge.
