Getting around Sibiu

Buses are the main means of public transport in Sibiu. There are a grand total of 20 bus routes connecting the different landmarks within the city. There are also two more bus routes which will take you to the villages that are in the countryside surrounding Sibiu. However, Sibiu is a comparatively small city, and so you can actually make it to all of the main sites, such as the museums and the cathedral, on foot. If you like, you can also take a taxi to a particular area of interest. Hiring a car is another option, and this is particularly good if you want to visit attractions a little further away, such as the lake.

Getting from the Airport to the City

Sibiu International Airport (SBZ) is located just 1.8 miles (3 km) to the west of the city centre. Take a shuttle bus or a taxi to make the short and inexpensive journey to your hotel. You can share the ride with other passengers if you choose to hire a taxi, making the journey even cheaper. Or, just hire a car online and get the car hire company to have it waiting for you at the airport so you can drive yourself and your luggage to the hotel.
