It's best known as the birthplace of Vlad Dracul - a prince with a penchant for impaling his enemies - but you don't need a taste for the macabre to enjoy this medieval fortress city in northern Romania. The best way to experience Transylvania's storybook architecture, rich history and rustic cuisine is on a private Sighisoara tour with a local guide. Founded by Saxon artisans and merchants 850 years ago, Sighisoara's city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meet your guide at the clock tower, then wander the streets snapping photos of pointed roofs, wood-framed windows and stone archways. Be sure to stop at your guide's favorite bakery to taste local pastries. The Transylvania region is a patchwork of small farms and settlements, best explored by private car. Our guides know the back routes to Viscri and Saschiz, and can drive you past shepherds grazing their flocks as they have for centuries. When evening falls, find a traditional cellar dining room to feast on goulash.
