No one is allowed to be unaware of the beauty of the vampire's hometown.

Sighisoara is located in central Romania The town was built as a defensive fortress by the Saxons from Germany and later developed into a medium-sized town. About 850 years ago, the Saxons from southern Germany (who are the same as the Saxons in Britain) arrived here. They began to build a castle on a hilltop to defend against Byzantine invasions from the south. Among these people were leatherworkers, tinsmiths, blacksmiths, tailors and many other German craftsmen. Each of them built a tower for himself, and at its peak there were dozens of towers in the town. Now only 9 towers remain, and the architectural style is typical German style It is also the hometown of Count Dracula, the prototype of the vampire story. Although this well-preserved medieval town has been listed as a World Cultural Heritage But the town has a strong atmosphere of life, not many tourists and very quiet There is not much commercial atmosphere, and everything retains the appearance when it was built by the Germans nearly a thousand years ago. About Transportation There are direct trains from Budapest/Bucharest/Vienna etc to Sighisoara There are direct flights from London, Paris and other cities to Sibiu, Romania, and most of the time the round trip price is around 24 pounds After arriving in Sibiu, there is a direct train or bus to the town. Best time to visit: 2 days and 1 night Although the town is not big, the cost is not high. It is highly recommended to stay in the town for one night Feel the mystery and simplicity of the medieval castle. There are many homestays in the town.
