- In Sighisoara you find one of the few inhabited citadels in the world. The citadel’s cobbled streets preserve the old mediaeval look, so wheelchair access is limited friendly. It is so pretty due to its colourful houses and eye-like windows.

About Sighisoara: It’s one of the best preserved citadels in Europe and among the few citadels still inhabited. Sighisoara is a popular tourist destination, due to its well-preserved walled old town. The landmark of the city is the Clock Tower, a 64m high tower built in the 13th century. The city played an important strategic and commercial role at the edges of Central Europe for several centuries. Sighisoara became one of the most important cities of Transylvania, with artisans from throughout the Holy Roman Empire visiting the settlement.
