Sibiu Tickets, Hours and Guided Visits

Sibiu’s big attractions are ticketed institutions more than tours, and most sell entry at the door. This page sorts them by what you pay, when they open and what needs planning ahead. Prices are in RON and run adult, pensioner, student unless stated.

Brukenthal National Museum, branch by branch

The museum has six branches, each with its own ticket.

  • Brukenthal Palace, Piața Mare, art galleries: 50, 25, 12.50.
  • Casa Altemberger, History Museum, Strada Mitropoliei 2: 36, 18, 9.
  • Natural History, Strada Cetății 1, with a few dinosaur models in the courtyard: 20, 10, 5.
  • Pharmacy History, Piața Mică 26: 16, 8, 4.
  • Contemporary Art: 15, 7.50, 3.75.
  • Hunting Museum: closed indefinitely, opened only for groups of 10 or more who book 24 hours ahead by writing to secretariat@brukenthalmuseum.ro .

The 48-hour ticket covering every branch is 120, 60 and 30. Add up the Palace, Altemberger, Natural History and Pharmacy and you reach 122 RON, so the pass saves money only on a four-branch spree. A named six-month pass costs 300 RON for adults.

Since 28 October 2026 the Palace, Altemberger, Natural History and Pharmacy branches have been open Wednesday to Sunday from 09:00 to 17:00, with the ticket desk closing around 16:15 to 16:30. Contemporary Art is open Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00. Summer hours can differ, so use the price page and the visiting page . The museum takes guided-visit requests directly.

ASTRA with a guide or a vehicle

Entry to the open-air museum is 50, 20 and 10 RON. Parties of 20 or more pay 40, 15 and 5 RON, and yearly passes cost 150 RON for one person, 300 RON for a family and 40 RON for a student. A guide charges 150 RON per hour in Romanian or 250 RON per hour in another language, with the ticket paid on top. A nine-seat electric vehicle is 500 RON per hour plus entry. See the ASTRA ticket page for the full list.

Concerts, theatre and festivals

The Sibiu State Philharmonic plays in Thalia Hall and sells seats through filarmonicasibiu.ro, with the programme changing by season. The Sibiu International Theatre Festival (FITS) holds its 34th edition on 18 to 27 June 2027, and tickets go through the festival site . The 2026 ARTmania music festival ran on 24 and 25 July, and the Cetăți Transilvane medieval festival normally lands on the last weekend of August, so check each year’s dates.

The Christmas Market

Piața Mare hosts the market from 13 November 2026 to 3 January 2027, free to enter, open 11:00 to 22:00 Monday to Friday and from 10:00 at weekends. Some attractions inside, including a Golden Ticket, are paid and worth booking early. See the official market site . Watch bags in the crowds.

Cathedral tower

The Evangelical Cathedral tower on Piața Huet is about 73 m high and is the walk-up viewpoint. The stair is steep and narrow, and a ticket for church and tower usually lands between 5 and 15 RON. The church closes during weddings and baptisms. Only plan on this tower, since the Council Tower is shut for works expected to run to the end of 2027.

Heritage visits by request

The Great Synagogue on Strada Constituției dates from 1898 to 1899 and is a protected historic monument. Ask at the community office to visit, and do not expect a posted timetable. The Friedrich Teutsch Centre at Strada Mitropoliei 30 is the Evangelical Church’s cultural and archive centre. Both are quiet places of living heritage.
