UNESCO Sites of Romania: Viscri & Sighisoara Citadel Day Trip

Moments to expect during the Sighisoara Citadel tour:

• 

  Rupea Fortress

  We start by visiting the remarkable Rupea Fortress. Built on a strategic hilltop with three fortification rings dating from the 14th century., it played a major role in defending Transylvania against Ottoman invaders and played a major role in Romanian history.

• 

  The charming village of Viscri

  Viscri is part of the UNESCO group of Saxon villages with fortified churches and is one of the most representative villages for Transylvania local life and culture. Restored village houses are now guesthouses, locals continue their handicraft traditions, food is still plentiful and home made. Life is slow, charming and delightful. This is why Prince Charles bought a house here!

• 

  Sighisoara Citadel

  The second UNESCO site on this tour, medieval Sighisoara will impress you. Colourful old houses, cobbled streets, small details and lots of history at every turn. This important attraction in Romania deserves much recognition: it's very well preserved and true to its historic and cultural heritage.
