Attractions and things to do - Medieval Break in Sighisoara Citadel: Dracula’s Birthplace

Spend a day wrapped up in the medieval atmosphere of the Sighisoara Citadel, and a romantic night in the heart of this enchanting city.

This UNESCO World Heritage site is a living monument to more than eight centuries of Saxon history, and is one of Europe’s most beautiful fortified cities.

Step inside the Clock Tower, Sighisoara’s most iconic structure, which offers magnificent panoramas of the citadel.

Tour the building where Vlad the Impaler entered the world, and learn about the man and the legend that inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

After a day of sightseeing, you’ll be glad to retreat to your hotel and watch night fall over the terracotta roofs and soaring spires of this bewitching city.

This tour gives you the option of a three or five-star hotel, allowing you to select the accommodation that fits your budget.
