Nicolae Balcescu is Sibiu’s main pedestrian street, an elegant, lively promenade lined with handsome historic buildings, shops, cafes and restaurants that runs through the heart of the city. Always busy with strollers, it is the natural place to shop, people-watch and pause for a coffee, with a mix of fashion stores, boutiques and everyday shops. Beautiful, sociable and central, connecting the old town with the surrounding streets, it is the commercial and social spine of the city and a pleasant place to browse and soak up the atmosphere of Sibiu.
