The Old Town of Sighișoara is unmissable, dominating the newer quarters from a rocky massif whose slopes support a jumble of old, leaning houses. The Clock Tower aka The History Museum was raised in the 14th century when Sighișoara was controlled by craft guilds, each of which had to finance its tower and defend it during wartime. After paying the entrance fee our guide will accompany you inside the old clock tower with it old wooden, creaky steps. Inside you will be able to see Gothic furniture, pharmaceutical objects, gingerbread mounds, objects belonging to the trade guilds that once ruled the city and a very interesting display on Hermann Oberth, one of the forefathers of space travel... yes, you've heard that right! The main reason to climb the tower is for the marvelous views of the crooked lanes and houses below and the rolling hills in the distance. In addition to the tower our ticket will include access to the Collection of Medieval Arms. NOTE: The Tower is CLOSED on Mondays.

This three story house that sits in the shadow of the Clock Tower is where, according to legend, Vlad the Impaler was born in 1431 to a woman whose name is lost to posterity. Today the house is a restaurant, and we can stop here the chance to go upstairs in order to see the alleged birthplace of Vlad the Impaler.

The Church on the Hill, built between 1345 and 1525, has been beautifully restored, and contains faded murals, a vaulted ceiling and three Gothic altars. The church is massively buttressed and here our guide will take a moment to explain how these churches doubles as places of worship and fortified keeps in time of danger. Beyond the church our visitors will have the chance to explore the Saxon cemetery. To get to the church we will take the Scholars' Stairs, a steep, covered wooden staircase of 178 steps and 29 landings that dates from 1642.

The Church of the Dominican Monastery is a 15th century Gothic church that became the Saxons' main Lutheran church in 1556.

The St. Joseph Roman Catholic church was built in 1894, after the demolition of the Franciscan Convent. It is situated in the northeast of the citadel.

Of the original 14 citadel towers, named after the guilds responsible for building and up-keeping them, only 9 survive. We will pass by and see the hexagonal Shoemakers' Tower, the Tailors' Tower and the Tinsmiths' Tower.

We will see the place where once upon a time wrongdoers would be hanged in plain sight for their crimes against the city of Sighișoara and witch trial were held.

Upon entering the city we will stop at the fresh produce market where locals sell their home-grown produse every day to the people of the city. Most of the fruits and vegetables sold here every day are in season and the array of smells, tastes and colors will surprise and delight you at the same time. There are many photo ops here and also a chance to buy and taste some of the produce there. There is everything from home made bread to locally made cheese, forest fruit picked from the actual forest and much more.

Brașov most famous landmark, the Black Church, dominates the square around it. Allegedly the largest Gothic church between Vienna and Istanbul, it took almost a century to complete. The church contains one of the largest collections of Turkish prayer mats in Eastern Europe.

The Council Square is the focus point in Brașov and it has changed very little from the 15th century when it was built. It is lined with sturdy merchant's houses with red-tiled roofs and shops. In the center stands the Council House built in 1420 topped by the Trumpeter's Tower in which town councilors would meet. The square is the place where reputedly the last witch burning in Europe took place.

Also dubbed "the hidden church", it has brightly colored wall paintings and its courtyard is built against the wall that used to defend the city in medieval times.

Facing Turkish attacks in the 15th century, Brașov built stringer fortifications, assigning each bastion to a particular guild. The White Tower in Brașov is unmistakable in its design and offers stunning views over the city on a clear day.

Presumably the narrowest street in Eastern Europe this little passageway retains all the spirit of medieval Brașov and it makes for some nice photos to share with your family and friends.

Bran, 28 km (18 miles) southwest of Brașov, commands the entrance to the pass of the same name, the main route into Wallachia. The Saxons of Kronstadt (Brașov) built a castle in 1377 in order to safeguard the vital trade route. The connections of Vlad the Impaler are shrouded in myth. The castle may have housed Vlad for a few nights on his flight from the Turks in 1462, following their attack on the Poenari fortress. Another story tells of how he laid siege to the castle in 1460 when attacking the Burzenland. Perched on a rocky bluff and rising in tiers of towers and ramparts from the surrounding woodland Bran Castle still has many stories to tell.

The Princely Court was once the royal seat of Wallachia and it was from here that 33 princes exercised their rule. The Princely Court was very important in the life of Vlad the Impaler, who spent his early years here, until he and his brother Radu were sent by their father to Anatolia as hostages. After the murder of his father, Vlad returned to be enthroned here in 1456. Our first stop is the 27 m-high Sunset Tower which was built during the 15th century and originally used as a watchtower for Vlad's soldiers. It's worth climbing to the top for terrific views of the complex and the rest of town. We will then visit the beautiful Princely Church, built in 1583, and its interior with its vast chancel screen (iconostasis) as well as dozens of frescoes of Wallachian princes, such as Basarab, Cantacuzino & Brancoveanu. Our certified tour guide will help you make sense of the complex through images and detailed explanations that take in the connection to Vlad the Impaler.

A tiny island at the northern end of Snagov Lake is home to the monastery of the same name, a small stone church dating from the 15th century. There has been a church here since at least the 11th century. Vlad the Impaler's alleged grave is located inside the church. Our guide will explain the different aspects regarding his death and untimely demise. As with many aspects of the Dracula story, there is some debate as to whether the body buried here actually belongs to Vlad. You will be the one to decide after hearing all the facts.
