Discover the charm of Sighisoara and the scenic Transylvanian countryside on a one-day tour departing from Sibiu
Book this tourThis tour will take you right in heart of Transylvania, to Sighisoara, one of the most beautiful and best-preserved medieval citadels in Europe.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sighisoara is the (possible) birthplace of Vlad Dracula, also known as Vlad the Impaler, the historical personage who inspired Bram Stoker's
fictional creation, Count Dracula. There is a house in the citadel
where Vlad Dracula supposedly was born, but there is no clear evidence about it. Anyway, this doesn't stop Dracula lovers to visit the house, nowadays transformed
into a restaurant.
But the real charm of Sighisoara lies in its medieval heritage. A walk to this enchanting citadel, rich in cobbled streets, steep stairways, secluded squares, towers
or turrets will be like stepping back in time. Founded by Saxon settlers in the 13th century, Sighisoara is one of the seven fortified German cities in Transylvania,
hence the German name of the region: Siebenburgen (seven fortresses).

Positioned between Sibiu and Sighisoara, Medias is really worth visiting: a lovely old town, with pastel-coloured houses, a flower ornamented main-square or imposing fortified church. The church has a rich collection of Turkish carpets and inside the visitor can admire the old paintings from the 15th century. Its tower has a visible tilting and a lot of stories associated with it.

After Sighisoara, we will go to Bieran, which is just half an hour drive. Before returning to Sibiu, we will stop in Medias, for a walking tour in the old town. Then, after another hour drive, we will reach Sibiu in the afternoon.

in the region, renowned globally after King Charles began visiting it almost annually. Alternatively, uncover other hidden treasures like
