A morning fog lifts off the plains outside Bucharest as a private vehicle eases onto the highway, and by midmorning the roofs of Sibiu appear—steep, tiled, and arranged around open squares where people still move at the pace of centuries. The tour deposits travelers at Big Square, where Gothic and Baroque façades frame cafes and the stonework of a fortified town that has watched trade and empire shift for 800 years.
