Add-On Day. To and Around Sighisoara 68

Extend your exploration of Romanian UNESCO sites by heading South towards Sighisoara, a place so medievally correct that you could believe you’ve stepped back in time. You may still walk the cobbled streets and marvel at the defense towers. On one of them, the bullet marks from the last siege of the city are still visible. The real Dracula was born in Sighisoara in 1431 – the house is still well maintained. A short distance away, the church of Biertan, another UNESCO site, has impressed visitors for five centuries with its three distinctive lines of fortifications. Enter the reconciliation room, where couples about to divorce were being locked up. For lunch, prepared by local women, you are invited into a restored medieval tower, in the village of Alma Vii. Then, if you choose, we can also pay a visit to a local traditional gypsy craftsman. Meet the entire family and find out about the lifestyle of this unique ethnic group. In the afternoon, proceed to the city of Medias. Take a walking tour through the colorful streets of this walled city and see the over 220 ft. high leaning tower of the main cathedral in town, before returning to Targu Mures.
