Sibiu Sightseeing Tour | Astra Museum Tour
We suggest you a walking tour in the old town of Sibiu where we’ll visit the most important attractions and discover the history of the town and its people.
But, if you want to know more about our region, we suggest a visit at the Ethnographic Astra Museum – one of the biggest open air museums in South-East Europe. Located outside Sibiu, in a forest, on the bank of a lake, the museum recreates the amazing rural atmosphere from the traditional Romanian villages all over the country. During our walk through the alleys of the museum we’ll talk about the rural life in Romania, about the diversity of the ethnic groups, about controversial topics like the origins of the Roma people, about crafts and traditions. We promise a relaxing and enjoyable day!

The tour includes:
- The Classic Walking Tour in the old town of Sibiu with the most important attractions: the fortification walls and towers, the Big Square, the Brukenthal Palace, the Town Hall, the Catholic church, the Little Square, the Liars’ Bridge, the Luxembourg House, the Journeymen House, the Lower Town, the Evangelical Church, the Orthodox Cathedral, the History Museum etc.
- A Walking Tour in the Astra Open Museum: a visit of various traditional households, windmills, watermills, churches, stables, barns etc.
The tour does not include but we’re happy to add:
- Local lunch – it can be either in Sibiu or at the traditional restaurant from the museum – quite an experience!
First, we’ll have the tour in Sibiu, for about two hours. Then, we’ll go to the Open Air Museum. Located at about 4 km/ 2.5 miles from Sibiu, by car it will take us about 15-20 minutes. Depending on your time and possibilities we can also have a walk from Sibiu, through the Sub Arini Park and Dumbrava forest till the museum. It will be a nice walk, for about an hour.
The visit in the museum will take us two more hours. If the weather is pleasant, maybe even more. Of course, we could also take a ride with the carriage – great experience!
Normally, the tour should last for about 5 hours but we can adapt it to your program. If hungry, we can add a stop for lunch. Of course, we can also enjoy a snack during our walk through the museum – there are so many places where we could stop and enjoy the view.
