A citadel people still live in. The clock tower, the covered stair and a Saxon village on the way back.
Sighișoara is the citadel people still live in — not a museum with a ticket barrier, but a hill town with post being delivered. We spend the morning inside the walls and the afternoon in a Saxon village nearby, which is where the contrast lands.
The citadel
The clock tower first, for the view and the mechanism, then down through the craft streets. The covered stair — 175 steps built so children could get to the school at the top in winter — is the part everyone remembers.
Afterwards
A fortified village on the way back, chosen on the day for which one has someone available to open the church.

Up first, before the coaches. The mechanism still works, and the view sets up everything else.

Întrebări frecvente
Is this a long day?
Nine hours door to door, of which about three are driving. It is a full day but not a hard one.
Which village do we visit?
It depends on who can open the church that day — these are working villages, not attractions with opening hours. We will tell you the evening before.
Is lunch included?
No. We stop somewhere sensible and you order what you want.
