The clock tower of Sighisoarais the grand dame of the city, reigning tall and proud from atop a central hill. Founded by Transylvanian Saxons during the 12th century, Sighisoara is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and features well-preserved medieval stone streets and structures. Visit fortified churches, climb the famed Scara Şcolarilor covered staircase, and get goosebumps at the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s terrifying creature, Count Dracula.

Hello, My name is Mark Tudose and few years ago I have start "Art & Crafts" in Sighisoara. At first I have made a local artist gallery with handmade products around Sighisoara. I do the wood part in the gallery. In time we developed more opening a museum section for our gallery with pieces made of wood about 50 years ago. This year is for the first time when we will open this museum part for our customers. So, feel free to visit us and let me know your opinion. I really think that the only way for a craft it comes with the story behind. I hope you will like our stories.
This souvenir shop in the historical center has various products made by local craftsmen: from wooden carved spoons and hand painted Christian icons to handmade magnets showing the most iconic attractions of the city. The owner is very polite and hospitable, even gives more details about the products and the stories behind them.

Who hasn’t heard of the (in)famous Dracula? Vampire or ruler, known near and far for his cruelty. Here, at The Dracula Investigation, you will learn that this story also starts with a simple human being like you and me. A person with feelings, a traumatized kid - allow us to present you the real Vlad Dracula - the son, brother, warrior. Inside, in 5 rooms Vlad himself will tell you his life story. You will get to see animations, sculptures and light/ shadow effects. We invite you to travel back in time with us to get to know Dracula’s human, real and often hidden part.
An original idea presenting the life of Vlad Țepeş (the Impaler) in an interactive way with videos, sculptures and audio, creating an adequate atmosphere for his life story.

At Teo’s 500-year-old cellar you can taste, enjoy and buy different sorts of local alcoholic beverages such as brandies and liquoirs. Among those several have received different prizes for their outstanding quality at national and international fairs. Our family has been producing these beverages for the past 200 years following traditional recipes perfected by local Saxons for centuries from the local area, also known as Tarnava Valley. Our brandy is kept in oak barrels for at least 3 years.
We spent a very pleasant 2 hours in Teo's cellar and in his company. What can we say? As a couple who very regularly go wine-tasting, we can confirm that his wines are delicious, his award-winning cognac is fabulous, and his fruit liquors and brandies are superb! If we were to revisit Sighisoara, we'd happily stay in Teo's accommodation next time.

The Voynich Cafe & Pub being the first ruin pub in the town, provides excellent drinks for its visitors, from a simple lemonade or cocktail, to draft beer or a bottle of quality wine. The smell of the fresh coffee and the special design result in having a perfect atmosphere, everybody finding his or her place in this discrete surrounding.
Nice little bar, it has that something that other Bars in the area does not have. Great variety of cocktails and drinks and really nice staff.

The history museum that is located inside the old clock tower, features some interesting pieces from the old arts like blacksmithing and tailoring. Also, very interesting is the old medicinal history here. It's a nice and cheap place for a cool history lesson.
