Car rental in Sibiu

Let's face it; we're miles away from those overcrowded roads of London. In Sibiu, traffic is generally smooth with fewer cars compared to what you'd find in large cities. But remember, Romanians drive on the right-hand side. It might feel a bit odd initially, but you'll soon get the hang of it. Speed limits vary from 50 km/h in town to 100km/h on main roads.

Car Class Recommendations

A compact car should be your top pick. But if you plan to explore the Carpathian Mountains, consider an SUV for comfort and safety. Not to mention the panoramic views!

Parking

Don't worry about finding parking spots. The city centre has numerous parking bays and garages. However, take note that some areas require a parking permit.

Must-Visit Attractions

Sibiu is a historical treasure trove. Visit the 'Council Tower' for stunning city views, and don't skip the Brukenthal National Museum for a touch of art and history.

Driving Routes

The Transfagarasan highway is a must-drive for its breathtaking views. And if you're up for adventure, take the road from Sibiu to Biertan and visit one of the best-preserved fortified churches in Romania.

Beaches

Looking for beaches? You're in the wrong place! But a couple of hours' drive will take you to stunning lake beaches like Belis and Tasnad.

Sibiu - City and People

Sibiu embodies a blend of German, Romanian and Hungarian cultures. The locals are quite friendly towards tourists. Just don't be surprised if you don't spot a lot of tea-drinkers around. Coffee is king here!

Currency

Romania is not on the Euro yet, so you'll have to deal with the Romanian Leu. Many places also accept credit cards.

The Climate

Sibiu has a temperate continental climate quite unlike the damp climate back home. So you may want to pack more of your shorts and T-shirts!

Seasonal Events

Visiting in June? Don't miss the International Theatre Festival. You'll enjoy the thrill of being part of one of the biggest performing arts festivals in the world.

Get ready for the ultimate holiday. The enchanting city of Sibiu awaits!
