Prices line by line
All prices are per person. Romania pays in lei (RON); these are converted to euro.
Sightseeing tickets
Grand Square, Small Square and the Liars' Bridge are free. The Brukenthal Museum, the Evangelical Cathedral tower, the ASTRA museum, the Potters' and Carpenters' Towers and the zoo each charge separately; those prices sit on the day-by-day plan, since they don't come up in the same budget every day.
From the airport
The Tursib line 11 bus from Sibiu airport (SBZ) to the centre is €0.66 per person — the same fare as any other ride on public transport. The stop is called Aeroport Terminal and sits within the city's fare zone.
Trips out of town
Transfăgărășan, Biertan, Sighișoara and Păltiniș each have their own transport and tickets, outside the daily budget in the city — prices per trip sit on the day-trips page.
What this sum leaves out
- Street food. Breakfast and any drink with the meal sit outside the list above too.
- The tourist tax. Charged separately at the front desk; the amount depends on the hotel.
- A day trip beyond Sibiu. Transfăgărășan and the rest each have their own transport and tickets, outside the daily budget in the city.
