Explore Sighisoara live with a local

Sessions run live, not as a recording: you join at a time in your own time zone, and the guide follows whatever you want to see or ask about. Cetate is worth asking about: the fortified hilltop citadel, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Every date has a minimum group size: if it does not fill up, it is cancelled and you are refunded in full automatically. Small groups, real answers, no script.

What a live session shows

  • Clock Tower (Turnul cu Ceas) The 14th-century clock tower marking the citadel's main gate, its figures still turning with the hours.

  • Covered Stairway (Scara Acoperită) A wooden-roofed 17th-century stairway of over 170 steps, built so schoolchildren could reach the hill in winter.
  • Church on the Hill A Gothic church at the top of the covered stairway, with a Saxon cemetery of old German-language gravestones around it.
