Embark on a guided tour of Sighisoara and a Gypsy community from Brasov. Visit the iconic Clock Tower, explore the coppersmith workshops, and sample traditional Transylvanian cuisine.
Immerse yourself in a captivating blend of history, culture, and tradition as you explore the medieval town of Sighisoara, the birthplace of Vlad Dracula, visit a vibrant Gypsy community, and visit Biertan fortified church.

Begin your expedition towards Sighișoara, the only medieval citadel in Europe still bustling with life. Wind through the breathtaking Transylvanian landscape and pause to behold the majestic Rupea Citadel, an ancient fortress perched atop a rugged basalt hill.

Upon reaching Sighișoara, step into the heart of the medieval town, where the iconic Clock Tower stands tall as a symbol of Sighișoara's rich heritage. Ascend the tower's spiraling staircase and be greeted by sweeping views of the cobblestone streets and terracotta rooftops below.

Meander through the labyrinthine streets, pausing to admire the intricate architecture and timeless charm of the monastery church. Ascend the covered stairs to the hilltop church and be enveloped in an aura of serenity, surrounded by the whispers of bygone eras.

After a morning of discovery, indulge in a leisurely lunch, savoring the flavors of Transylvanian cuisine amidst the quaint ambiance of a local eatery. Energized and eager for more, resume your journey, venturing deeper into the heart of Transylvania to visit a vibrant Gypsy community.

Originating from distant lands more than six centuries ago, these resilient communities have woven their unique traditions into the cultural fabric of Romania. Visit the workshops of the coppersmiths, known locally as Căldărari, where ancient crafts are kept alive through generations of skilled artisans.

Witness the creation of intricate copper goods, from gleaming kettles to sturdy cauldrons, each imbued with the spirit of the Gypsy way of life. Engage with the artisans as they share stories passed down through generations, offering a glimpse into their vibrant heritage.

Immerse yourself further by donning traditional Gypsy attire, a gesture that invites you to step into the shoes of another culture, if only for a moment. As you explore the workshops and browse the wares on display, consider taking home a piece of this rich cultural tapestry, a memento to cherish long after your journey's end.

Visit the imposing Biertan fortified church, a testament to the resilience of Transylvanian communities throughout the ages. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this architectural marvel stands as a living testament to centuries of history and tradition.

As the day draws to a close, journey back to Brasov, your heart full of memories and your bags laden with treasures from your travels. But before parting ways, there's one last treat in store—an optional visit to Pivnita Bunicii, or Grandma's Pantry, where you can sample and purchase an array of homemade jams, marmalades, and traditional beverages, ensuring that the flavors of Transylvania linger long after your adventure has ended.
