CÂ}I TURI{TI SUNT A{TEPTA}I S| SOSEASC| LA SIBIU<br />
Beneficiile pe care le aduce titlul de Capital\ Cultural\ European\ sunt<br />
de mai multe feluri. Sibiul va deveni un ora[ cunoscut, poate dup\ capitala<br />
]\rii cel mai vizibil din Rom‚nia. Miz‚nd pe aceasta, suntem `ncredin]a]i<br />
c\ vom atrage mai mul]i investitori spre Sibiu, care are deja faima unei<br />
loca]ii economice bune, datorit\ unei zone industriale create `n 2003.<br />
Infrastructura care s-a modernizat - drumuri, re]ele, transport public,<br />
iluminat etc. - va r\m‚ne [i dup\ anul 2007 [i va `mbun\t\]i clar calitatea<br />
vie]ii `n Sibiu.<br />
~n al treilea r‚nd, vom atrage un num\r important<br />
de turi[ti. Evalu\rile noastre sunt de 400.000-500.000<br />
de turi[ti `n plus fa]\ de un an obi[nuit. ~n 2005, am<br />
avut cam 350.000 de turi[ti. Ceea ce este mai important,<br />
se creeaz\ premisele ca num\rul celor care vor<br />
vizita Sibiul s\ creasc\ `n continuare, `n mod natural, [i<br />
dup\ 2007.<br />
CARE SUNT, POTRIVIT LUI KLAUS WERNER<br />
JOHANNIS, PRIMELE CINCI PUNCTE DE<br />
ATRAC}IE ALE SIBIULUI<br />
~ntreg centrul istoric este un punct de atrac]ie, `ns\<br />
sunt sigur c\ turi[tii vor vrea s\ vad\ Pia]a Mare,<br />
Turnul Sfatului, Podul Minciunilor [i Pia]a Mic\,<br />
Muzeul Brukenthal [i Pasajul Sc\rilor, cu trecerile lui<br />
fantastice pe sub arcadele contrafor]ilor din zidurile de<br />
fortifica]ii. Pe l‚ng\ acestea, sunt convins c\ ansamblul<br />
de biserici fortificate din jurul Sibiului va prezenta<br />
interes pentru turi[ti. Dac\ ar fi s\ fiu subiectiv, a[<br />
recomanda cl\direa baroc\ a Colegiului Brukenthal,<br />
un loc pe care `l vizitez de fiecare dat\ cu pl\cere.<br />
DAC| NU A{ {TI NIMIC DESPRE ORA{, CUM MI<br />
L-A}I DESCRIE<br />
Sibiul este un ora[ care adun\ la un loc rigoarea<br />
arhitecturii germane cu un [arm aproape mediteranean.<br />
Sibiul p\streaz\ `nc\ imaginea de acum trei secole,<br />
a celei mai bogate [i mai influente dintre cele [apte cet\]i<br />
transilvane, care era, `n acela[i timp, [i un centru al<br />
artelor [i culturii.<br />
Centrul istoric, de un farmec deosebit, al\tur\<br />
cl\diri de perioade [i stiluri diferite - de la gotic [i<br />
Rena[tere p‚n\ la baroc [i Jugendstil. Cine se plimb\<br />
prin centrul vechi vede `n jur o adev\rat\ cronic\ a<br />
celor opt secole de istorie a ora[ului. Aceasta este<br />
„perla“ ora[ului, dar ve]i descoperi [i loca]ii care<br />
vibreaz\ de tinere]e [i locuri moderne sau inedite `n<br />
care s\ v\ bucura]i de [ederea `n Sibiu.<br />
VORBIND DESPRE ORA{E, DESPRE C|L|TORII,<br />
AVE}I DESTINA}II DE ZBOR FAVORITE<br />
Sunt sigur c\ toate destina]iile sunt interesante `n felul<br />
lor, de accea las pe fiecare s\ le descopere farmecul. ∫<br />
bring unique experiences. Visitors will have chance to enjoy culture in<br />
dozens of ways: theatre, music, literature, paintings, dance, film, architecture,<br />
tradition craft, contemporary art, photography and gastronomy. We<br />
are preparing a warm welcoming for tourists, a unique urban landscape<br />
and the surroundings of the city offer an amazing natural landscape.<br />
HOW MANY TOURISTS ARE YOU EXPECTING IN SIBIU<br />
The benefits the titleof European Cultural Capital are of many kinds.<br />
Sibiu will become a well-known city, maybe the most visible city of<br />
Romania after the country’s capital. Putting our stakes on this grown visibility,<br />
we are sure we will attract more investors to Sibiu, which already<br />
has the fame of good economic location due to the industrial area that<br />
was created in 2003. The modernized infrastructure - roads, networks,<br />
public transport, illumination and so on - all these will remain after 2007<br />
and will improve the life quality in Sibiu.<br />
Thirdly, we will attract a significant number of<br />
tourists. Our evaluations are of 400,000-500,000<br />
tourists in comparison with the usual years. In 2005,<br />
we had around 350,000 tourists. What is important is<br />
that the establishment of the premises that will make<br />
the number of tourists in Sibiu to continue to grow<br />
naturally even after 2007.<br />
WHICH ARE, ACCORDING TO KLAUS WERNER<br />
JOHANNIS, THE FIRST FIVE POINTS OF<br />
ATTRACTION IN SIBIU<br />
The entire historical center is a point of attraction,<br />
but I am sure the tourists will want to see the Grand<br />
Square, the Council Tour, the Bridge of Lies and the<br />
Small Square, the Brukenthal Museum and the Stairs’<br />
Passage. Besides these I am sure the entrenched<br />
churches surrounding Sibiu will be of interest for the<br />
tourists. If I were subjective, I would recommend the<br />
baroque building of the Brukenthal College, a place I<br />
visit with pleasure every time.<br />
IF I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE CITY, HOW<br />
WOULD YOU DESCRIBE IT TO ME<br />
Sibiu is a city that combines the precision of the<br />
German architecture with an almost Mediterranean<br />
charm. Sibiu still keeps the three-century old image<br />
of the riches and most influential of the seven<br />
Transylvanian citadels, which was in the same time a<br />
center of arts and culture.<br />
The historical center, of a special charm, combines<br />
buildings of different periods and styles - from<br />
Gothic and Renaissance to baroque and Jugendstil.<br />
Who walks down the historical center sees a real<br />
chronicle of the city’s eight centuries of history. This<br />
is the city’s „pearl,“ but here you will discover locations<br />
that vibrate with youth and modern or unusual<br />
places where to enjoy your staying in Sibiu.<br />
TALKING ABOUT CITIES AND TRAVELLING, DO<br />
YOU HAVE FAVORED FLIGHT DESTINATION<br />
I am sure all destinations are interesting in their<br />
own way, which is why I let each person discover<br />
their charm. ∫
