Sighişoara, on the banks of the Tarnava River is a medieval Romanian town where you will surely feel like you have travelled through time. The town, which was under Hungarian and German rule in 15th century Europe, is also a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. Houses and cottages whose pastel colors have been very well preserved into our time, pave the way for thousands of tourists every year in Sighişoara as they walk on cobblestone streets. One of the most remarkable points of the town is the house where Vlad Dracul lived, who was known also as Count Dracula and famous for his torture of Ottoman soldiers.

Altough the history of Sighişoara, like other Romanian cities, dates back to the 1st century, the way it looks today is largely from the 12th century. At this time the Hungarian Kingdom called on German merchants to develop trade and build a castle and castle walls for protection. The castle is located on a high hill above the town. The clock tower,  between the castle walls, bears symbols of planets and other astrological symbols and  dates back to 1280. It shouldn’t be missed. The medieval festival is held every July. If you happen to be in Sighişoara during the 3 day festival, the crowds in traditional local costumes, and streets full of theater, music, dance, and exhibitions will draw you into the festival enthusiasm.
