Now, Wizz Air will be connecting the city with Birmingham, from October this year.
The flights will operate twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays from October 28, with fares starting from £17.99.
The flight would take just over three hours.
Sibiu has a wealth of different places to explore.
History is evident throughout the city, with remains of medieval walls and towers present, including the 13th-century Council Tower.
In the upper town, there is also the Brukenthal Palace – which now houses the Brukenthal National Museum and is full of European paintings.
For those who find churches fascinating, then the nearby Evangelical Cathedral is a must with gravestones in its walls.
Just outside of the city, is also the Dumbrava Sibiului Natural Park.
The parkland area stretches over 960 hectares and it is an oak forest with a plethora of wildlife including deer, porcupines and foxes.
A beer costs around 11 lei, which is about £1.83 – so relatively cheap.
And the average coffee costs 12.20 lei, which is around £2.03.
Food is also cheap, with a three-course meal for two people at a mid-range restaurant costing £29.12 on average.
Olivia Harangozó of Wizz Air said: “We are excited to add this new route to our operations from Birmingham.
“Sibiu is one of Europe’s hidden gems, and we are delighted to give Brits more opportunities to visit this city and experience its – and Romania’s – rich history and vibrant culture.”
All flights will be operated using the latest-generation Airbus A321neo aircraft.
WizzAir also recently announced a new route between Birmingham and Rome, Italy, which is due to commence service on June 16.
The flights will operate three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
