The Passage of Stairs is one of the most atmospheric corners of Sibiu, a picturesque medieval stairway and covered passage that links the upper town with the lower town through the old fortifications. Its stone arches, towers and steps, framed by ancient walls and offering glimpses of the rooftops below, evoke the city’s medieval past and make for a wonderfully evocative walk. Charming, historic and beautifully preserved, it is a hidden gem of the old town and a delightful place to explore and photograph while discovering the layered history of the Saxon city.
