The Bridge of Lies features on most city tours, with visitors often invited to cross the path to reveal their honest intentions. It’s said that the bridge will creak when a lie is told, so it’s worth testing it out while posing for pictures on the scenic overpass. Located so close to the Lutheran Cathedral and Piata Mare, the bridge is an easy stop on a walking tour, with some multi-day packages including a stroll through Sibiu as part of a wider Transylvanian itinerary.
The pedestrian bridge connects Piata Mica to Piata Albert Huet, making it a major tourist thoroughfare. Head west from Sibiu’s main train station and within fifteen minutes you’ll arrive in the historic center.
Visit on a clear, bright day to enjoy the best views from the bridge, especially during the spring when the decorative flowers are in full effect. Arrive early in the morning to beat the crowds or arrive around dusk for an unforgettable view of the sun setting beyond the city limits.
Sibiu is undoubtedly one of the most striking cities in Transylvania. As you stand on the bridge, notice the eye-like windows that seem to watch you from the roofs all around, which only add to the bridge’s magical atmosphere. Nobody knows the true origins of the bridge’s name, though city tours provide plenty of historical background to its fantastic folklore.
