Your day in Sighişoara will be an unforgettable experience. Under the name Castrum Sex the town was established as the sixth of seven castles of the Saxons and was recorded in the history books under the Old German name of Schespurch. The medieval gem with its extraordinary urban fabric that naturally nestles against the green forest covered hills became a World Heritage Site in 1999. And by the way, the supposed birthplace of Vlad Dracul Tepes, who served as the historic foundation for the infamous Count Dracula, is also located in Sighişoara.
