Sibiu is on the verge of being discovered: In 2007, it shares the "European City of Culture" title with Luxembourg. Undergoing a thorough big-budget makeover, its large medieval squares and gorgeous buildings have been extensively rejuvenated with repairs, fresh coats of paint, and a good spring-cleaning. An excellent example of the (usually smaller) fortified Saxon towns that dot the Transylvanian landscape, Sibiu was saved from destruction during the Communist era largely because Ceausescu's son, Nicu, was the city's mayor. The medieval heart, surrounded by a sprawling city, is held together by stone-walled fortifications and the remains of the 39 guild towers that served as defensive watchtowers; within lie cobblestone streets, secret back-alleys, crumbling stairways, and elegant monuments.
