I'm still under the impression of my most recent trip this summer, very recent considering that summer has just started. Astronomically, summer started today, the longest day of the year!
I'm referring to the trip that ended a few days ago. A three-day holiday in one of the most interesting cities in Romania. Sibiu, the former capital of Transylvania (1692-1791).
Also called "City with eyes", because of the small windows, two each, on the roofs of the houses.
The three days in Sibiu were three days full of walks. Three days for discovering the city or for reminiscing, because I have been here a few times before, but never stayed more than a day.
The old center, the city center, is the main attraction. It is a part of the city where the vast majority of the houses are many hundreds of years old, some are even from the 13th century!
This city center consists of the Upper City and the Lower City. Access from one side to the other is done through many sloping streets but, especially, through a few stairs, as if you were going upstairs... or going downstairs.
In the Old Town there are several squares, each with its own importance and beauty. This staircase leads from the Golden Square, a small square that I've only just discovered and has become my favourite, and the Small Square.
The Golden Square is a small and hidden square, without the crowds of other squares. That's exactly why I like it, because it's a bit crowded and because there's a café here.
The Golden Square is in the Lower Town. To get to the Upper Town we climbed the staircase, which ends at the Little Square. On the stairs I noticed two young people. Tourists, because I saw that they were guided by the map in their phone. Very young and cute, they caught my attention and I managed to photograph them without disturbing them.
I love watching people on the street. I like to photograph them but it's not easy, because many people don't like it. Fortunately, Sibiu is a tourist city, the inhabitants are used to taking pictures and so are the tourists. I had no problem photographing whatever I wanted!

It must be amazing to walk down the streets. Good to see the photos.
Yes, indeed, it is a special, enjoyable and instructive walk. Thank you!
How cool are those houses with eyes. So small… they truly look like eyes.
Such a great walk through the streets and steps up and down.
Glad you could stay a little longer in this city now and truly explore it.
Have a wonderful day today 👋🏻☀️ Thanks for sharing @bluemoon
Thank you! I have long wanted to stay longer in this city and I had the choice between a trip to the mountains, to remote places or this city and I chose the city. I don't know if I did well, but I liked it.
There can always be another trip to the places you want.
City or mountains is a tough choice when you like both. Maybe do them one time city one time mountains, than city again etc.
we try to do that too, as we like both too. 😎You are welcome @bluemoon 😁👋🏻

What a cool place, and interesting those small windows in the Roof, I wonder is there a reason for them, but I can see why it gets the name the city with eyes
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)
With pleasure! The purpose of those windows is to ventilate the air in the attic.
Ok that makes a lot of sense
With pleasure!
Nice, a place that needs to be visited ,the place is romantic. Like post. Thank you.
With pleasure!
Summer has started early for me as well. I am discovering new places in my city. Seems it will be domestic holiday this year too due to inflation in my country as well as the whole world.
This place reminds me of narrow streets and squares of Italy. I also love to see tourist wandering around. It is like we have a common goal, enjoying where you visit :)
That's for sure!
