Cluj-Napoca - Sighisoara
The capital of Transylvania in the medieval times, Cluj-Napoca is today a vibrant city, sharing both traditional and progressive events; definitely worth visiting for its excellent cultural activities, wonderful historical legacy, fine dining, and great atmosphere.
In the afternoon, arrival in Sighisoara, a fortified city in the heart of Transylvania. Visit of the well preserved fortified site: the Stag House, the Clock Tower, the Church on the Hill, the Venetian House, the Covered Stairs and Vlad Dracul's birth house – where the Walachian Prince was actually born six centuries ago.
Sighisoara is an unique citadel which offers a genuine feeling of a medieval fortress, one special feature is that its houses have been permanently inhabited.
In the evening a really special opportunity: dinner with a "bloody" menu in Vlad Dracul's birth house, now hosting a restaurant, and perhaps a short visit of the torture room, also set in his house.
Dinner and accommodation in Sighisoara.
