    avoiding Dracula in Sighisoara

    Posted by KrissyS 13 April 2009

    If the Dracula hysteria of the main square in Sighisoara's citadel gets a bit overwhelming (which it can do when the tourists hit the 'Dracula cafe' in summer) nip along a back street towards the Covered Stairway and you'll find the excellent, peaceful terrace of the Casa Cositorarului. Good juices, coffee, cakes and sandwiches. A bit more pricey than some in the lower town but worth it.

    Casa Cositorarului
    Str. Cositorarilor 9
    Sept-May open daily 9am--10pm
    June-Aug open daily 9am--midnight

    citadel

    Posted by deliawinkle 14 April 2006

    A Unesco heritage site, the city is overlooked by a unique medieval citadel. Climb up the clock tower to get a birds eye view, or up the covered wooden stairs to the German church, school and graveyard. Ask in the local shops for a private room to stay the night, and experience the spooky atmosphere within the old city walls. This is the city where Vlad Tepes was allegedly born (Dracula was loosely modelled on him.)
