Shoemakers' Tower
Bästa tid att besöka
In the late afternoon, the golden light illuminates the rooftops of the citadel and the flow of visitors decreases noticeably. Spring and autumn offer the most pleasant temperatures for the climb.
Budgettips
The entrance ticket costs about 10 lei (2 euros), making it one of the most affordable attractions in the city. A combined ticket for several towers of the citadel saves money on the total.
Rekommenderas för

Om
Snabba fakta: 64 meter hög, detta försvarstorn tjänade en gång som utkik mot invasioner. Varje år bestiger tusentals besökare dess 168 trätrappsteg för att beundra utsikten.
Höjdpunkter: Träskytten (hourds) som omger toppen är unika i Transsylvanien, lämningar av ett intakt medeltida försvarssystem. I klart väder syns Karpaternas fot som omger dalen, ett panorama som inte förändrats sedan 1300-talet.
Insidertips
- Arrive right when it opens at 10 a.m. to avoid the line and enjoy the tower almost empty.
- Wear sneakers: the wooden steps can be slippery and quite steep.
- The east side viewing platform offers the best photo with the Clock Tower in the foreground.
- Allow less than 10 minutes for the visit inside if you do not linger on the historical panels.
