Bran is Dracula's castle, they say, but this town is the real deal. And the clock tower museum brings you so close to medieval Romanian life that you can almost smell it. A must see. The town reeks of the real. And Vlad walks behind you all the way. More

This is an excellent way to view Sighisoara and its surroundings. The workings of the figurines in the clock tower are excellent to watch. Unfortunately it is dark and my camera flash did not work. Always carry spare batteries! There is plenty of history on display on the way up to the top. Stairs only for the able bodied. More

An interesting historical site with a sympathetic little museum inside. Looks like a clock tower in old black and white horror movies. From the balcony you can take the best photos of the old city More

The most recognizable landmark in the area, very dramatic seen from a distance before you start up to the citadel. Contains a great history museum and is only a few steps from the wonderful Hotel Sighisoara and the house where Vlad the Impaler was born. You will want to take photos before or after you leave the citadel for most... More
