Tarom, Str. Nicolae Balcescu 10 (tel. 0269/21-1604; Mon-Fri 8am-6pm), flies from Bucharest to Sibiu daily. Both Tarom and Carpatair (tel. 0269/22-9161) have connections with German destinations, and Carpatair also flies to Timisoara. At press time, burgeoning budget carrier Blue Air (www.blueair.com) was launching various domestic and international services; you can also investigate Austrian Airlines (www.aua.com) for a direct international connection. For years, it has been difficult finding train connections to the city, and rail access remains limited. Nevertheless, Sibiu's railway station, Piata 1 Decembrie, is about .7km (1/2 mile) from Piata Mare, and is directly opposite the bus station. From the station, catch trolleybus no. 1 to get to the center, or use a taxi (tel. 0269/44-4444). You can buy onward train tickets from CFR's Agentie de Voiaj office, Str. Nicolae Balcescu 6 (tel. 0269/21-6441; Mon-Fri 7:30am-7:30pm).

For information and sightseeing services, head directly to the Tourist Information Office, Piata Mare 7 (tel. 0269/21-1110; Mon-Sat 9am-5pm, Sun 10am-1pm); visit their website (www.sibiu.ro) before your trip. Alternatively, visit Kultours on the ground floor of Casa Luxemburg, Piata Mica 16 (tel. 0269/21-6854; www.kultours.ro). They hand out a useful map, offer sightseeing trips, rent bicycles, rent rooms, and sell books, souvenirs, and postcards.
