The streets of Sighisoara are renowned for their medieval charm and authenticity, offering a fairytale atmosphere for visitors. In the historic centre, every street preserves the old architecture, with colourful houses dating from the medieval and Renaissance periods. Many of these houses have been restored but retain their original details and are now used for various commercial activities such as cafes, souvenir shops and guesthouses.
Visitors are often impressed by the narrowness and cobblestone streets, which contribute to the city’s authentic atmosphere. Fortress Square, in particular, is a central place where tourists can relax and enjoy drinks, surrounded by picturesque and colourful buildings, real architectural gems.
