You can't blame people for trying to make a living. One woman had a life-sized cardboard cutout of Vlad Tepes and was charging people to stand next to it for a photo opportunity. Also, of course, there is the Casa Dracula Restaurant and a Dracula souvenir shop.

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

On the way to Sighisoara the train stops in several stops ..the guy sit in front of me talk me about dont miss out on that place...there was a gipsy neighbourhood with their buildings and their people... I guess it was Blaj that town, i have to say that i never get trouble with it and neither any trouble walking wherever with them, at all... it was simple curiosity

One feature that define mostly towns is sth i'd never seen before.. the graveyards are always on the top of the town over a hill meanwhile the town and its life is on the plain... so different to Spain where all is in the same level...mostly of it

Every summer, usually in July, a Medieval Festival takes place in the old citadel. It involves music, dance, exhibitions, crafts, concerts, etc.
The festival started in 1992.

Q: 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.
