Sighisoara

This is point D on our itinerary.

About:
“Founded [in the 13th century] by German craftsmen and merchants known as the Saxons of Transylvania, Sighişoara is a fine example of a small, fortified medieval town which played an important strategic and commercial role on the fringes of central Europe for several centuries. […] It is an outstanding example of fusion happening in the border region between the Latin-oriented culture of central Europe and the Byzantine-Orthodox culture of south-eastern Europe.” (UNESCO)  Nowadays, the medieval squares and the narrow streets of the city serve as a backdrop for frequent artistic and cultural events.  The historic center of Sighisoara has been a World Heritage site since1999.

We will spend the better part of a day in Sighisoara, enough to take a guided tour of the medieval city and to leave you some time to explore on your own.
