Travel Itinerary

A fun and historic climb for the whole family! Ascend the covered Scholars' Stairs, a unique wooden staircase built in 1642 to protect students on their way to school. Kids will enjoy counting the steps and the unique feeling of walking through a tunnel of wood.

After climbing the Scholars' Stairs, you'll reach the Gothic-style Church on the Hill. Explore its interior, which boasts impressive frescoes and ancient tombstones. The church offers a serene atmosphere and fantastic photo opportunities of the citadel from its hilltop position.

Wander along the ancient fortified walls and discover some of the original nine towers that still stand, each named after the craft guilds that once defended them. The Tinsmiths' Tower is particularly impressive. Encourage kids to imagine life as a medieval guard, defending the city.

Take a break from historical exploration and let the kids burn off some energy at Sighisoara's Central Park. Located just outside the citadel walls, it offers open spaces and playground facilities, perfect for some relaxed family fun.

Venture beyond the citadel walls to explore the charming Lower Town. Here you can find local shops for souvenirs, browse for traditional crafts, and experience more of the everyday life of Sighisoara. Look for small cafes for a warm drink.

Spend your final morning revisiting any favorite spots within the citadel. Perhaps a last climb up a tower, a stroll through a particular street, or some final souvenir shopping. Conclude your trip with a delicious traditional Romanian lunch before preparing for departure.
