The best areas to stay in Sibiu

Best for: First-time visitors, short trips

The historic centre

If it's your first time in Sibiu and you're here for three nights or fewer, stay central. You'll pay a premium per night and win it back in taxi fares and walking time. Use Booking.com's map view and draw your search around the oldest part of town.

Best for: Repeat visitors, longer stays, better value

One neighbourhood out

The band just outside the centre is where Sibiu gets interesting and considerably cheaper — usually 25–40% less for the same standard of room, and a ten-minute walk or one stop on public transport from everything.

Best for: Everyone
