Hi
We want to travel from SIghisoara to Brasov on a Wednesday morning returning on Friday morning.
What times are the trains (leaving Sighisoara about 10.00), how long is the journey and what is the fare? Do we have to book in advance and can we use any train from Brasov for the return or do we have to take a specific train? We would like to return leaving Brasov around 10.00 on the Thursday morning.
Also is there a Romanian rail website that I could use (in English :-)))
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Karen
Hy,
there are many trains but not at 10.00!!! One starts from Sighisoara at 08.32, another at 09.01, another again at 11.07. Journey is around two hours, fare is 31.5RON O/W (7.43€). From Brasov, one at 07.45, another at 09.04, another again at 10.54. Same time, fare from 24.6RON O/W (5.80€). Booking is recommended but not mandatory.

Ciao, Marco
You can find train times and details (for almost all European trains) here:

Here is the Romanian railway website in English:

The town is split in two, the upper town or citadel, the most tourstic spot and where is always full of fly (tourist) looking up
The other is the lower town, where the people live and at the same time split by a wide river.
I rather this last because you can see real locals moving and living as they do.
Sighisoara is split in two..the most toursitc area is the castle and surroundings and the most attractive for me is this one ... where you can see locals living their normal life and their flats and houses ...made some of them in wooden !!
its the "other sighisoara".. extremly different to the postcards that we can buy for an inexpensive price there
When you managed to walk up the 172 steps of the covered stairways you will reach the Gothic Church On The Hill. On it´s backside there is an old German Cemetery. It´s a quiet place where you can take a rest if you feel like going away from the crowds.
2 hours and half almost 3 i guessed that journey took!! reallu interesting anyway to behold such great little towns and local people waiting in the train stations !
You could imagine such a great train was lol... really cosy !!
carriages are seen usually in the countryside.. its a really primitive economy, agriculture is the most important resource in Romania or at last in the countryside in little towns far away from Bucharest .
Actually in mostly countrysides in eastern Europe you can see everywhere hay piles to feed animals in winter as you can see in that pic

Q: Last one - Promise! "Anyone know how far it is from the bus station in SIghisoara to the 'Burg Hostel' in the Citadel? How long would it take to walk..."
A: "That hostel is about one km away from the main bus station, I don't think you need to take a taxi."
