Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Sibiu

9 stays · 5 aparthotels and 4 serviced apartments

Sibiu is a Transylvanian city built around a pedestrian-friendly historic centre, and aparthotels and serviced apartments in Sibiu suit visitors who want a kitchen and a little more room than a standard hotel offers. That matters for families, for remote workers staying a few weeks, and for business travellers who prefer to cook some of their own meals.

Where to stay in Sibiu

Upper Town (Piața Mare)

  • first-time visitors
  • sightseeing
  • evenings out

Wikivoyage names three main squares in the Upper Town: Piața Mare (the Large Square), Piața Mică (the Little Square), where it says bars and cafés cluster, and Piața Huet around the Lutheran Cathedral. Wikipedia lists the Council Tower, the Bridge of Lies and the Brukenthal National Museum among the landmarks. It is the most convenient base for sightseeing on foot, though the squares can be lively in the evenings.

Lower Town

  • quieter stays
  • walking
  • couples

Wikipedia treats the Lower Town as the second half of the historic centre, alongside the Upper Town, so the old centre's sights remain within walking distance. It is a sensible choice if you want to be near the old centre without staying on the Upper Town's busiest squares, which Wikivoyage associates with bars and cafés.

Railway station area

  • transport links
  • short stays
  • business travel

Wikipedia describes Sibiu railway station as a major hub with connections to Cluj-Napoca, Brașov and Bucharest, and Tursib says its network serves the train station, bus station, Old Town and airport. The area suits early departures and arrivals.

Terezian

  • long stays
  • residential feel
  • families

Wikipedia lists Terezian among Sibiu's modern neighbourhoods, alongside Hipodrom, Lazaret and Ștrand. It lies outside the historic centre, which makes it a practical option for longer stays where everyday shopping and a quieter street matter more than being on the main square.

Dumbrava and the ASTRA museum

  • families
  • green space
  • day trips

Wikipedia says Dumbrava Sibiului Natural Park covers 960 ha and holds the ethnographic exhibits of the ASTRA National Museum Complex. Wikivoyage places the museum 5 km south of the centre and mentions bus 13 for the trip. It is better as a day out than as a base, but it suits families who prefer green space.

Getting around Sibiu

Sibiu International Airport is west of the city; Wikivoyage places it 6 km west of the city centre, while Wikipedia says 3 km west of Sibiu, so check the distance on a map for your plans. The airport's own page lists Tursib bus routes 11, 112, 116, 117 and 118, and says a stop called AEROPORT TERMINAL stands in front of the passenger terminal in the arrivals area. Wikipedia names Wizz Air and Lufthansa as focus carriers, with routes including Munich, London-Luton, Dortmund and Vienna.

Tursib runs the city buses. Its tourist page says tickets can be bought at Tursib agencies, from street vending machines, from yellow contactless machines on the bus and in the SibiuBus app, which also shows buses in real time. It adds that line 3 takes you closest to the Christmas Market and mentions a Sibiu–Păltiniș tourist route for the mountain resort. For longer journeys, Wikivoyage lists trains and buses to Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca, and the old centre is easy to explore on foot.

Living in Sibiu for longer

For a stay of several weeks, the residential districts on Wikipedia's list of neighbourhoods, such as Terezian and Hipodrom, are worth considering because they sit outside the historic core. Wikivoyage says the Old Town has plenty of souvenir and craft shops, especially on Piața Mică, so day-to-day food shopping is usually easier away from the squares.

Wikipedia reports a growing network of cycle lanes, 43 km in total, which can make cycling a realistic way to move around between the centre and residential areas. Bus passes and the SibiuBus app are described on the Tursib site. Because the historic centre is largely pedestrianised, think about where luggage can be dropped off before choosing a base deep inside it.

When to visit Sibiu

Wikipedia classes Sibiu as humid continental, with a January mean of −2.5 °C and a July mean of 20.3 °C, so winters are cold and summers are warm rather than hot. Annual precipitation is given as about 643.7 mm.

Wikipedia says the Sibiu International Theatre Festival takes place each year at the end of May, a Medieval Festival runs in August, and the Christmas market, established in 2007, has grown considerably. Wikivoyage lists the Sibiu Music Festival for the second weekend of September. Event dates change, so check the organisers' pages before booking.

Wikipedia notes that Sibiu was European Capital of Culture in 2007 and that the historic centre is divided into an Upper Town and a Lower Town. Wikivoyage describes the old centre as largely pedestrianised, so a base in or near it keeps most sights within walking distance. The city lies in Romania, with Brașov and Cluj-Napoca the nearest big cities for onward trips.
