Timisoara Travel Forum

Hello,

I see that the train takes 10 hours from Sibiu to Timisoara. Is there a faster bus that leaves in the morning? How long does it take by car?

Thank you!
Dave

According to www.bahn.de there are 3 direct trains daily between these two stations. They take between 5 and 6 hours, not 10 hours.

According to www.autogari.ro, there are also a few buses, taking about 6.5 hours.

Thanks for the reply Alan.

On www.bahn.de I see only one direct train to Timisoara:

Sibiu
Timisoara Nord Th, 04.10.07
Th, 04.10.07
dep 15:40
arr 21:38
5:58 0

All the earlier trains look as if they take 10 hours.

I was hoping to catch a train in the morning. I will be hiking out of the Cindrel Mountains that morning and I need to be in Timisoara sometime in the afternoon on the same day.

Thanks again!
Dave

There are also direct trains at 05.05 at 17.35, taking just over 5 hours. But I guess they are respectively too early and too late for you. Unfortunately it looks like you may have the same problem with buses - they are either extremely early or in the afternoon, at least according to autogari.ro. Unless someone else here knows of an indirect route that would get you there in the morning.
