    Discover the only city in Romania which looks exactly the same way as in the XVIth century - Sighisoara. Take a trip in time in this one day tour or simply get all the inside information in a walking tour if you are traveling on your own.

    While in Sighisoara you have several options to eat lunch or snacks. We provide you enough time during the tour to dine in a restaurant or have snacks at different stalls and enjoy a stroll on your own and look for souvenirs.

    One of their favorite snack is the Langos, a deep fried bred dough topped with cheese and sour cream as savory or powdered sugar/jam as sweet snack. We always recommend Alte Post Restaurant where delicious traditional food is served.

    For souvenirs guests usually go for traditional, handmade gifts, easy to transport. Many of these are wooden spoons, small jewelry or even T-shirts.

    Please note the locations we are visiting are uneven paved with stones and for your safety we recommend you to wear sturdy shoes all seasons.

    1h · Admission ticket not included
    Visit a remarkable fortress - Rupea - with three rings, dating from the 14th century, built on a basalt rock. Inside the fortress there is a well 60 m deep. The water is still drinkable.
