Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sibiu a dog-friendly city?

Yes. The Old Town has a growing cluster of dog-friendly cafes, three fenced off-leash dog parks opened in 2023, and Parcul Sub Arini for longer walks. The main things to plan around are the citywide leash and muzzle rules and the cobblestone streets.

Are there many stray dogs in Sibiu?

This was not independently verified for the current city center situation at time of writing; if traveling with a dog, keep it leashed in public spaces regardless, as required by local law.

What documents do I need to bring my dog to Sibiu?

EU pet passport, microchip and a current rabies vaccine are sufficient for EU travelers, since Romania is in the EU and document checks at entry are routine.
