Sighișoara is also famous as the birthplace of Vlad Țepeș, the historical figure who inspired the Dracula legend, adding an extra layer of intrigue to its rich past. With its fairytale architecture, strong cultural heritage and relaxed pace, Sighișoara is one of Transylvania’s most memorable and authentic destinations.
