Romania
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.)
