Been there | Tips http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. Train to Sighisoara http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18497 reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/e.

Worth writing down the journey details and the Romanian for 'first-class ticket' and handing it over - no English spoken at the train station when I was there. But the Lonely Planet guide came to the rescue.

Once you have found the platform watch out. The noticeboard flagged two separate trains - one to Targa Mures and one to Bucharest. The Bucharest train stops at Sighisoara.

But the trains appear to arrive joined as one - late. So it can be confusing.

What seems to happen is that the first-class carriage is always carriage three.

If you are on the same train as me be prepared for 50 year-old rolling stock in first class.

The scenery is fantastic. Ranging from the awesome pollution of Copsa Mica to shepherds and their flocks.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18497 Hubertus Restaurant http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18496
Lovely meatball soup - through be warned the meat balls are in fact strips of meat. But the best was to come - hare chop. Strongly recommended.

Washed down with a large bottle of Ursus Black. And all-in including tip at 60 LEI. Awesome.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18496 Roata Restaurant http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18495 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18495 Glanum - cenotaph http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10650 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10650 Nimes Airport http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10649 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10649 Belem http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3009
Get the 15 tram from Praca de Figueira and get off after Mosteiro dos Jeronimos. You need to walk up aways and take the footbridge over the road to get to the Torre de Belem, and the Monument to the Discoveries.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3009 Views of Sintra http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2968 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2968 Church of St Saviour in Chora http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2197
It is small but perfect and well worth the treck out to see. May be best combined with seeing the Golden Gate in Yedikule Castle and then taxi up passing the Theodosian walls.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2197 Stay in Beyoglu http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1385 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1385
