Day 6 – Sighisoara Medieval Town

Day 6 – Sighisoara Medieval Town

Welcome to Sighisoara, one of the most beautifully preserved inhabited citadels in the world! This UNESCO gem is home to medieval buildings, hidden chambers, burgher houses, towers and ornate churches full of myths and legends. It is here that Vlad the Impaler was born, who served as inspiration for one of the biggest legends in international folklore, Count Dracula. A must-see event that takes places every year here is the medieval festival, when, for a week, the old town is packed with knights, princesses, dances, performances and music. Also, on our way from Viscri to Sighisoara, we make a quick stop in Saschiz to visit the fortified church, also part of UNESCO Heritage List.
