罗马尼亚的锡比乌圣诞市场
随着冬季寒潮来临,锡比乌市变成了一个令人眼花缭乱的假日仙境,这里有罗马尼亚最受欢迎的圣诞市场之一。锡比乌圣诞市场从11月底到1月初在中央广场举行。在今天的图片中,一串串闪闪发光的灯悬挂在广场上,形成了一个雨棚,使鹅卵石街道沐浴在温暖的节日光芒中。那里还有一棵灯火辉煌的圣诞树,周围是迷人的木屋,售卖各种各样的东西,不仅有手工制作的装饰品,还有当地制作的点心,比如罗马尼亚传统甜面包,芳香的热葡萄酒,还有撒上盐的热脆饼。
锡比乌本身就是一个历史悠久的地方,以其保存完好的中世纪建筑、色彩缤纷的外墙和充满活力的文化景观而闻名。它曾是德国移民在12世纪建立的最富有城市,2007年被指定为欧洲文化之都。在圣诞节期间,锡比乌的光芒更加明亮,旋转木马,溜冰场和各种表演使这座城市充满活力。
Sibiu Christmas market, Romania
As the winter chill sets in, the city of Sibiu transforms into a dazzling holiday wonderland as it hosts one of Romania's most popular Christmas markets. The Sibiu Christmas Market, known in Romanian as Târgul de Crăciun din Sibiu, is held in the central square from the end of November until early January. Sparkling strings of lights drape across the square, seen in today's image, creating a canopy that bathes the cobblestone streets in a warm, festive glow. There also stands a beautifully lit Christmas tree, surrounded by charming wooden huts selling everything from handcrafted ornaments to locally made treats like cozonac, a traditional Romanian sweet bread; vin fiert, an aromatic mulled wine; and covrigi, a type of pretzel served warm and sprinkled with salt.
Sibiu itself is a place steeped in history, known for its well-preserved medieval architecture, colorful facades, and vibrant cultural scene. Once the wealthiest city founded by German settlers in the 12th century, it was designated the European Capital of Culture for 2007. During the Christmas season, Sibiu shines even brighter, with carousels, ice skating rinks, and performances that bring the city to life.
