Sighișoara Citadel
Best time to visit
Matin tôt en semaine, entre 8h et 10h, pour découvrir les ruelles presque désertes et profiter de la lumière dorée sur les façades pastel. Le printemps et l'automne offrent une météo idéale sans la foule estivale.
Budget tips
L'entrée dans la citadelle est gratuite; la visite de la Tour de l'Horloge coûte environ 20 lei (4 euros). Le pass combiné pour les trois musées principaux revient moins cher que des billets individuels.

About
Quick facts: Perched on a strategic hill, the citadel has 164 houses classified as historical monuments, all inhabited as in the Middle Ages. Its nine defensive towers, built by nine guilds of artisans, still bear the symbols of the corporations that financed them.
Highlights: The Clock Tower hides a 17th-century mechanism that sets in motion each hour 12 small carved figurines, including an executioner striking the seconds. The covered wooden stairways, 175 steps long, offer a sensory climb where every creak of the boards tells the story of the schoolchildren who have used them since 1642.
