Overview

Explore Sighișoara at your own pace on this self-guided walking tour you run straight from your smartphone — no physical guide, no groups, no app to download. A clear map leads you through the medieval Saxon citadel while short audio stories and interactive quizzes unlock as you reach each stop.

Go beyond the Dracula kitsch and discover the real Sighișoara: a fortified Transylvanian Saxon town of guild towers, the iconic Clock Tower, the covered Scholars' Stairs and the Church on the Hill — alongside the genuine, complicated history of Vlad the Impaler as a local figure rather than the Bram Stoker myth.

Start whenever you like and take as long as you wish. Play solo or team up with friends and family, and enjoy the citadel one story at a time.

What to expect

Church on the Hill
Pass by

A Gothic church crowning the citadel hill, long the heart of Sighișoara's Transylvanian Saxon community. Reached by the covered stairway, it offers sweeping views over the old town.
Scara acoperita
Pass by

A covered wooden stairway of around 175 steps, built to shelter schoolchildren and worshippers on their climb up to the Church on the Hill.
Piata Cetatii
Pass by

The main square at the heart of the medieval citadel, once the stage for markets, fairs and public gatherings, framed by colourful burgher houses.
Sighisoara Clock Tower
Pass by

The landmark tower guarding the main gate of the citadel, known for its painted wooden figures marking the days of the week and wide views over Sighișoara.
Biserica Manastirii
Pass by

A Gothic hall church beside the Clock Tower, once part of a Dominican monastery and now a Lutheran church, known for its baroque organ and Anatolian carpets.
Casa Venekiana
Pass by

A patrician townhouse whose stone window frames echo a Venetian Gothic style, a reminder of Sighișoara's trading links and Saxon craftsmanship.
Casa Vlad Dracul
Pass by

The ochre house traditionally linked to Vlad III (Vlad the Impaler), the 15th-century Wallachian ruler behind the Dracula legend — the real historical figure, not the fictional vampire.
Stag House
Pass by

A historic corner house famous for the three-dimensional stag's head and antlers mounted on its facade, one of Sighișoara's most photographed buildings.
Turnul Croitorilor
Pass by

One of the citadel's guild defence towers, built and maintained by the tailors' guild, marking a gate of the old town where the walk ends.
