45 Most Colorful Cities Around The World You'll Want To Visit

34. Sibiu, Romania: Eyes on the Roofs and Pastels Below

Sibiu may not scream color at first glance, but look closer. Its pastel-painted Baroque buildings—rose, butter, mint—are watched over by eyebrow-shaped dormer windows known as “the eyes of Sibiu.” The effect is subtly surreal, like being in a town that watches you back. Cobbled squares brim with local crafts, and each corner turns up surprises: turquoise shutters, frescoes, flower-filled carts. Visit in winter for fairy-lit markets or in spring when the town is awash in bloom. Sibiu is pastel with a pulse.
