How to get there
Sibiu International Airport (SBZ) is the closest airport to Golf Club Paul Tomiță in Pianu de Jos — approximately 70–80 km south-east.

Where to stay
Staying near Alba Iulia puts you within minutes of both golf courses in the Transylvania cluster. The Theodora Golf Club itself has a 4-star on-site hotel, making it the most seamless base for a dedicated golf trip. The fortress city of Alba Iulia — a Vauban citadel of exceptional scale with an unusually complete promenade route around its star-shaped ramparts — is worth an evening of its own and is one of the more underrated walled cities in Central Europe.
