Visit Sighișoara

A Saxon walled town under Mount Tampa, the Black Church and Bran castle down the road.

Houses with eyes in the roofs, the Bridge of Lies and a Saxon centre that was Capital of Culture in 2007.

Explore Carcassonne, a fortified medieval city in southern France. Walk the double ring of ramparts of the Cité de Carcassonne (a UNESCO World Heritage site with 52 towers), admire the Basilica of Saints Nazarius and Celsus (known for its 12th-century stained glass and Gothic choir), and cross the Pont Vieux (a 14th-century stone bridge offering panoramic views of the city).

Crooked wooden wharf houses of the old Hanseatic trading quarter.

Fairytale medieval walled city, UNESCO-listed.

Hanseatic gables, the House of the Blackheads and St Peter’s spire, ringed by Europe’s finest Art Nouveau streets.

Fifteenth-century monasteries frescoed inside and out, still vivid.

Visit Cluj Napoca, the unofficial capital of Transylvania in Romania. Explore the Gothic St. Michael's Church (one of the largest in Romania, with a 76-meter tower), wander through the historic Union Square (surrounded by colorful Baroque buildings), and see contemporary art at the National Museum of Art Cluj-Napoca (housed in a former 18th-century palace). Don't miss the Central Park (with a lake and the iconic Casino building) and try local dishes like varza a la Cluj (cabbage rolls) at a traditional restaurant.
