It is the alleged birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, and this medieval-style town shows visitors what Romanian village life is truly about. It was founded by Transylvanian Saxons during the 12th century and remains one of the most beautiful and well-preserved medieval towns in Europe. The focal point in this city is the towering Clock Tower that stands 64 metre high, and is today a museum. Think cobbled streets, ornate churches, steep stairways, secluded squares, tower, turrets and more. Eat, drink and be merry in this quaint village that offers a mix of historic architecture, friendly people and culinary delights.
