Best Tours & Activities in Sighisoara | Discover Romania

Nestled in the heart of Transylvania, Sighisoara is a hidden gem where cobbled streets, colorful buildings, and medieval towers create a fairy-tale atmosphere. This perfectly preserved town is brimming with character, culture, and legends, making it a must-visit for travelers who want to experience authentic Romanian charm.

A Glimpse into the Past

Founded by Saxon settlers in the 12th century, this fortified town flourished during the Middle Ages as a significant commercial and defensive hub. Its beautiful citadel, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, tells stories of knights, merchants, and legendary figures such as Vlad the Impaler, said to have been born here.

Best Time to Visit

The warmer months from May to September offer pleasant weather, ideal for walking and sightseeing. Winter brings a tranquil atmosphere, with fewer tourists and occasional dustings of snow adding to the fairytale vibe. Each season reveals a different side of the town’s charm.

Is it easy to get around?

The city is compact, and most attractions are within walking distance. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as the cobblestone streets can be uneven.

What are the must-see attractions?

Don’t miss the famous Clock Tower, the birthplace of Vlad Dracul, the scenic Church on the Hill, and the quirky Covered Staircase. Simply wandering through the old town’s alleys is a delight.
