The fortified citadel of Sighisoara is a UNESCO world heritage site, and is perhaps most famous for being Dracula’s birthplace. Coming on the train, it is a dramatic sight to see the citadel rise on a hill in a picturesque valley, with the spires of churches and a clock tower rising from within. However, compared to both Sibiu and Brasov, Sighisoara was just lacking something intangible. It lacked a certain energy, perhaps because of its small size. The hostel I stayed in was mostly empty and the town in the citadel was also quite empty. Really, I felt that an hour was sufficient to see all the sights in Sighisoara. While very pretty, it just didn’t have that magical draw for me that other cities did.
