Sibiu Steam Engines Museum — Attraction in Sibiu

We loved to visit the Museum, it's great that it's free but like you will read in other comments not well maintained.

It closes at 15h00 so be on time, a visit would not be taking a lot more than 30minutes.

Behind the steam trains there are still some things in operational service. For example, we were walking on the turning circle, which they use to turn the trains, someone came to us that we shouldn't be there, 15min later a train was being turned on the circle for the Sibiu train station. It was for us not directly clear where the museum ended, and the still operational part began. Nevertheless, it was a nice experience :-) Thanks for the people / organization keeping...

We went on a public holiday. Luckily they allowed visitors. Unfortunately they asked us to pay some entrance fee that was not advertised anywhere. Upon exiting the guard changed and the new guard asked me a female, next to my partner to go to coffee with them, an old male that could be my father/grandfather. Although I am Romanian, it took me long enough to realise he was asking me for money for them to drink a coffee for allowing us to visit the museum they are guarding.

Onto the museum part, cool old engines, not very cool how nobody cleans the place, bushes growing and covering some engines/ engine...

This is a still functioning train depot / train maintenance facility. As the time passed by, old steam engines have been retired from active service and left on site. They have not been restored, but rather preserved. You might be expected to sign your name in the visitor´s book as you enter the facility, but you do not need to pay for your entry. An employee might discretely accompany you at least at the beginning of your visit - to make sure you do not wander off to dangerous areas where trains are still moving. A nice place, I really enjoyed the visit and would certainly...
