- We visited the birthplace of Dracula!
It's hard to imagine that this dark character was born in this charming colourful town in Transylvania.
But Sighisoara actually holds a rich history. And today it's one of the most beautiful and best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. Check out our vlog!

First of all i wanna say thanks to you for nice words about Romania. THANKS :) .
If Vlad Impaler ( Dracul) does not exist or Stephen the Great, maybe the whole of Europe is praying on his knees and reading from the Qur'an today. I am Romanian and I am very proud of the history of this country.
I don't know about Dracula, but I think many romanians are pretty proud of Vlad the Impaler. I hear quite often that we need a new Vlad to impale all the politicians :))
Yes,of course! In that time the people were afraid to steal from themselves!
If Vlad Impaler does not exist or Stephen the Great, maybe the whole of Europe is praying on his knees and reading from the Qur'an today. I am Romanian and I am very proud of the history of this country.

He was a true Patriot who loved his country, not like our politicians from today who have sale it end destroyed ours beautiful country

Quite literally, you are the only foreign vloggers who visited all areas of Romania, without exception. Maybe visit some of Oltenia as well so you can have it completely rounded up?
Woo! Thanks for noticing. We've been here 90 days and we did a lot!! We still have a few things on our list for when we come back to Romania though :). Unfortunately we have to leave in a few days because our visa expired :(
Hi guys! I don't know if you remember, but we met in Sighisoara, my name is Marian, I told you that I'm a fan and I watch all your videos. This one is special for me, personally because I was there in the same time with you. Was a big honour for me to see you guys in reality. You are great, I wish you all the best!
Of course we remember :) ! Thanks for watching and safe travels!! Nice meeting you
I’m happy you guys are still loving your travels. We get to enjoy and learn history as well. Thank you . ❤️🥰

You gotta try maple sirup in Canada, but you must try PAPANAȘI in Romania
Hi guys, plz visit Alba-Iulia.
Romania is definitely the most beautiful place.. and I love the way people are here. They are at most sweet and inclusive
During your journey in Romania,you have visited top most important touristic places. well done,and keep discovery Romania.
Beautiful city part of Transilvania which is a latin name meaning the land over the forests. Transilvania was occupied by the austro-hungarian empire in the 18 th century...when both otomans and austrians tried to extend their empires. Vlad the Impaler aka Dracula is one of the most respected Romanian ruler because he was smart enough to win battles against the huge and powerful otoman empire and because he was a strong and fearless ruler and, during his years no one would dare commit theft...or stuff that was not meant to be done. He was named Vlad Dracul...meaning Vlad son of the devil because he would impale enemies like the otomans...he managed to scare the otoman soldiers or cut the arm of the one who would steal or commit adultery etc.
He also lived in Curtea Veche which is a place in Old Town Bucharest..but I think it is currently closed to public due to renovations.
Thank you for what you do in Romania.RESPECT.
The city of Sighisoara has entered the UNESCO heritage ! Guys, go to the city Alba Iulia and visit White Carolina fortress , where Romania was formed , the birthplace of today`s Romania !
Sighisoara and Alba Iulia is actually a HUNGARIAN HERITAGE! It belonged to and built by Hungarians. Many greetings.
@@airotkivagrav1965 Mars, ca latri degeaba!, bozgore!!
Beautiful Walking Tour. Good work.
Love from London. Emma
I am booked for September and can’t wait. 🇷🇴
IMO you should definitely have got a Dacia keyring 🤣
Glad you guys finally went to My favorite place in Romania! Visited Sighișoara Citadel 13 times so far, but only during the Medieval Festival (always last weekend in July), but even without it, in a day you can see: The Clock Tower (it has museums on every floor, worth checking the sculpted model of the city too), The Leper Church (I think it's the highest building in the Citadel), Weapons Museum (amazing), Torture Chamber, House on The Rock, The Guild Towers (Turnul Frânghierilor = Rope Makers'), Turnul Măcelarilor = Butchers', Turnul Croitorilor = Tailors', Turnul Cositorarilor = Tin Crafters', Turnul Tăbăcarilor = Tanners', Turnul Fierarilor = Blacksmiths', Turnul Cizmarilor = Shoemakers', Turnul Cojocarilor = Furriers'. There were 5 more craftsmen towers in the past, now only the above still stand and can be visited), Casa cu Cerb, Casa Rosenthal, Casa Venețiană, The Medieval Cemetery, Casa Breslelor = House of The Guild (private museum) there is also a Roman archeological site and many, many other places to visit.

1:55 ".. because Transilvania was (then) part of Hungary"
Yes, it was.. after they conquered it from the peaceful Dacians. But we took it back with our own blood !!!
All the fields, mountains and hills, forests, lakes and rivers have Romanian blood spilled in and on them! Transilvania is Romanian heritage through blood, soul and sacrifice! Love for Hungary, the gloomy past is over, we need a brighter future together.
Agree with you!
OMG FOR THIS PRICE SO CHEAP !!!!
I didn’t remember when i pay this for one night, maybe 20 years ago!!!
Super !
I will check this !
Thank you for this beautiful video !
My home town 😁😁... i was just wondering if you guys will go to Sighisoara and i am verry happy you did!!! 😇
So glad you enjoyed Sighisoara! It's one of my favorite places in Romania, even as a Romanian. It would've been great if you went during the Medieval Festival, because it's hoenstly like you've traveled in time during that time. I went for the first time in 2019 and sadly in 2020 it was cancelled because of Corona, but if you have the opportunity to go in the future, I'd definitely recommend it.
oh maybe next year!
Sighisoara is the only inhabited fortress in Europa.
You guys found some really nice keychains. Tbh I'd rather try to find the "Dacian Draco" keychain if it's one out there, that would represent Romania the best.
Yes, Alba-Iulia the capital of Dacia/Romania 1900 years ago after Sarmizegetusa was destroyed.

Visit Sighisoara! ✌🌈👍👍👍👍
Nu știam că Sighișoara arată așa fain! 😲
an absolute joy to watch your Romanian Vlogs , yep, Vivat Romania !

thank you
Thanks for this wonderful video.

Thanks Jack!
They did many Animes in Japan about My city Sighisoara! Like the one on Netflix Fate Aphocrypha, whitch is Completely Ambientated in Romania!
Bruh what.....
I like how you avoided calling it a tourist trap, and used instead the more graceful "a bit of a tourist destination" ha ha. Brilliant.
REPORTAJ..... ✨✨✨✨✨ 😌
The stairs you climbed to the top are in blocks of 6, which represents 6 days in which you go to school and a long one that represents the day of rest.
The tower from Sighisoara has 4 turrets at the top, which represents in the Middle Ages that the city has the right to judge.
th-cam.com/video/Mb9EwBmI1HA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this!
At 15:18 was a key chain with Decebal the ruler of Dacia in the daco-romans war that are the fathers of Romania. Romans and Dacians. That looks like a very good key chain.

Welcome to my Hometown.
👍👍👍👍👍
So glad we took a train from Brasov to do a day trip in 2019. Charming old town, the clock tower, and we walked up and down too discovering different stuff. Thanks for the great video that brought back fond memories. Regards from Singapore 😊
Awesome! Sighishoara was one of our favorites :)! Glad you enjoyed it too
Excelenta prezentarea locatiei!!
Sighișoara It's known for the medieval festival and it's a pretty nice time to be there
Guys, your videos have such a nice vibe, keep it up, you're doing great!
Foarte frumos❤💛💙🇹🇩👍🥰
Beautiful place. TQ for sharing the information . Love watching your videos with new and interesting places you guys visited. ❤️
thanks for wathing!
Sovata-Praid 🤗🤗
Sighisoara is such a beautiful city. Love to see the buildings, so picturesque, colourful and charming. Hahaha...would be interesting to see how Steve screamed...too bad that it was not recorded...😂😂😂 Nice to stroll around, looking for souvenirs.
Nice accommodation...spacious and cozy.
Hey guys! You are fantastic! Love your videos! 👍👍👍
First time I took my kids to Sighisoara to Vlad's birthplace an older guy jumped from the coffin. He didn't have any teeth. It was more funny than scary. Anyways, although the restaurant is what you would call a tourist trap, the city is beautiful. And it is a fine exampke that people of different nationalities and religious confessions can live together, in harmony.
Great videos about Romania. Me and my gf are both Canadian, but she's originally from Romania and gets a kick out of these. She's disappointed you didn't go to Oradea when you were there
to be honest, the "Dacia" key chain would be pretty representative. It was THE car everyone used to drive during the communist era and it's popularity didn't drop after the Revolution. Everyone in Romania has a memory of driving to the seaside with their parents in one of those cars and probably identify with it more than any other symbol. And the fact that it also signifies the ancient country name is a plus as well.
Yes. We think you are right. On second thought, we should've bought the Dacia keychain. But, in the end our friends gave us a pretty great keychain as a gift that worked out pretty well! We got lucky :)
Dacia old communist logo is nicer. UAP
Wow, what a pretty walled city and how intriguing that you'll be visiting Vlad the impaler's birth place/ house!!!👍👍👍😱
You guys should've walked through Sighisoara during night time as well. The lights all around creates a beautiful scene, good for marvelous pictures.
Sighisoara is amongst the very few lived fortified cities in Europe if I'm not mistaken. Someone might correct me of that. A great place to visit. Indeed, not that many things to do here but it's amazing.
It looks absolutely beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!
I really love those tourist maps and poster👍
Hello!! Good to hear from you!
@@JetLagWarriors hi Saiful and Sharifah..😄
Alba Iulia has the biggest citadel in Romania. And the biggest from it's kind in Europe.
You just reminded me about that guy from Dracula's room, it was funny and scary for me to. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was hoping that one day you would get to visit Sighisoara .. such a beautiful city rich in history .. The best time to visit is during the Medieval Festival at the end of July.👍
Îmi place Sighișoara. Este orașul meu natal .Am făcut liceul în cetate ,urcam iarna prin tunel.Ca limbă străină era germana mai puțin intens rusa.
Si eu sint din Sighisoara.
Salutäri 👍
I mean your idea about the traditional clothing and Country side was right but as you saw in that shop and I think everywhere in Romania, pottery would represent perfectly Romania
Astia din Sighisoara care vede-ti comm u hai sus la Liceu Joseph Haltrich🤣🤣
Great cinematography and vlog
Thanks! Funny you mention cinematography, we just bought a new camera today to improve our skills :). Thanks for your compliment :)
Frumos hanorac are baiatul.Exact ca al meu.
Hey guys, half an hour isnt enough to visit. aside of the citadel, there are many other places to see like domeniul Dracula Danes, a small village 8 k from Sighisoara, Vila Sighisoara and so many more, i wish i could be there with you, i spent the first 30 years of my life five minutes walking from the clock tower, living now in Delta, BC. Really enjoying your travel shows
welcome to my city!😊🤗
Lovely 😍🥰🥰🥰🥰❤
Fun fact: the first documentary attestation of Sighisoara is from 1280 under the name of "Castrum Sex" :)
Ate mushroom soup in Vlad's living room, nothing better
Visit county Gorj ... plenty to see here ! Have fun ..
Da, Ranca.
i LOVE the buildings. most of them are so beautiful...
concave roads.... hmmmm..... makes me wonder.... imagination at work now.
2:50 ivana is right, only you notice that, steve~
these road are not highheel-friendly~ 😁
i noticed that you seems to be a bit worried about being "touristy" (because you keep on mentioning it~😁), but in my opinion, it is ok to be touristy once in a while because it is how it is.. it cant always be off-the-beaten-path all the time. a bit of everything is just nice.
btw, i love this vlog. made me smile from start to end. 🥰 and made me miss moments of travelings.
LOL! High heels on that road would be a hilarious site to see. Maybe next time we are in an ancient, walled city, we will try and get some high heels just for a laugh.

Thanks for watching and following us! Sorry to hear about your knees but best wishes moving forward and maybe you can travel again one day! But thanks again :) glad to have your support
Transylvania was not part of Hungary. It was an autonomous principality vassal of the Hungarian king. The Saxon colonists were called because the royalty did not trust the Romanians who were revolting and had connections with the Romanians from the other two principalities.
th-cam.com/video/Mb9EwBmI1HA/w-d-xo.html
@kkkzz
Only between 1867 - 1918. And the North of Transylvania between 1940-1944.
@kkkzz No, it wasn't. It was embedded in Hungary only 50 years, between 1868 and 1918.
@kkkzz Fake hungaryan history. Part of Hungary only 50 years, between 1868 and 1918.
bai voi ungurilor ,Transilvania a fost parte a imperiului Austro-ungar...nu a Ungariei...faceti diferenta..si voi ati fost a doua roata la caruta...voi ati fost parte a Austriei..nu fiti prosti 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Ivana and Steve 👋 Hahaa...what really happened in that Dracula’s room 😅 did he wake up from his coffin 🤣 Ivana should have taken the shots when Steve screamed 😂 that would be exciting 😅 Wow the town is really beautiful with heritage buildings all around , I love to see the architectural and structures of those buildings , really amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 so many beautiful things to see in the shop selling souvenirs , did you find the right key chain ? Nice and clean hotel and hope you both have a great time 👍🏻🥰😘
hehe. Esti prezent/a in fiecare video, jur !! :))
Need an American tourism guide to Romania then let me guide you to greatest places in Romania .
Get back to me here .
So beautiful need to visit Sighisoara.. you realy need a romanian passport:)
11:31 i got similar type also when was child but was keep it more like ornament that toy becouse was to heavy to play with and when i grow up, i gift it to somebody
I chose Sighisoara for a one month exile retreat. If you have time for a coffee at Concordia before you leave? We met in Shkodre.
hey!! How are you?
We are not in Sighisoara anymore.
@@JetLagWarriors ah! Curious to see where you be next!
@@Drottteve in Serbia now!
Steve, Sighisoara will be in top5, for sure. But surely Peles Castle, Alba Carolina citadel (in Alba Iulia) and Oradea city will be also in top5.
Steve: Alba Iulia is the birthplace of (great) Romania, you should consider it, if you have time.
oh we never been to those places yet!
👍👍🌟👍👍
👏❤️🙏
The dacia car brand and the car is kinda the best metaphor for romania... not the best, not 100% Romanian, but it can give you amazing memories
Fun fact(for me at least). This year I visited the old town for the second time in my life. This time being more detailed focused, i noticed a Pirate grave stone near the clock tower. It's like engraved with a skull and bones and everything (black sea is 500 km away)
I tried searching for any info about the grave stone but my search came out dry. Managed to take a photo of it though.
Oh wow! Interesting stuff. Wish we saw it !
@@JetLagWarriors i have it as a profile photo now, so you can see it :)
🥰
Shigishoara ( even the name sounds cool ) looks like a fantastic city.Touristy it may be but I would visit it for sure.
The same reason I hate haunted houses...when the ghost jumps out at you.I quit going to haunted houses after a few of these scares.Didnt want the phrase “scared to death” to become a reality for me lol
You're right.. the name Sigishoara is very to say and sounds like an interesting place :)
You guys must really like Romania! You usually stay that much in a country?
👍😘
👌👍👍
The city was built by saxon german immigrants colonized by the medieval kingdom of Hungary at the time. Until 30-40 years ago german language was spoken on the streets of the city. The name of the city comes from Schassburg.In the 80 s the communist leader Ceausescu allowed the germans from Transylvania to emigrate to West Germany .Today there are almost no ethnic germans in Romania except for the well-known president Klaus Johannis who is not very popular in these days. You also will hear and hungarian language on the streets of Sighisoara-Segesvar,there are many hungarians in the area. Do not forget the Szekely Land populated mostly by hungarians, it is close.And Sinaia with Peles Castle and your romanian tour will be complete.After all of this you can say that you have seen all Romania.
thaks for this
What about Caras-Severin or Mehedinti counties? Or Jiu, Valcea, etc? You can't say you visited all Romania without those, as there are many touristic places there as well.
👍👍👍
I think the Dacia keychain is quite representative
Yeah, on second thought it would be sort of perfect, because if we had it on our wall, most of the people who come visit would not be able to guess what country it is from. Which would create a perfect moment for us to share some Romanian stories. Maybe we will try and find one again before we go.
I think you guys will move to Romania and become citizens 🥰🤗
Dracula is a national hero, not a dark character. Irish Bram's Dracula is..
12:42 Saint Nicholas
If only Vlad could come back and see what they did with his house...
Hey guys! I've sent you an e-mail at the address you gave on your channel (the gmail address). I've actually sent it some time ago, I think you just started visiting Romania. Gave you there lots of tips and stuff about Romania. Maybe they'll be helpful, although you already discovered a lot about our country. :)
hey thanks for the email!
We dont even know for sure if Vlad III Basarab, aka Vlad the Impaler aka Dracula, was born in Sighișoara in this house. All we know it that this house belonged to the father of Dracula, Vlad II Dracul, and that he lived in these house around the time Dracula (Vlad the Impaler) was born.
The hungarian king was in fact romanian!
If you are talking about "this dark character", it means you don't know anything about history. Esslecially the true history. The picture of Vlad Tepes you keep seeing allover, is not even his picture/painting. He was dark blond with clear sky blue eyes. And the history & facts, is much complexer than you think. You got a very important info (the serie of the real world history) in another comments elsewhere, from me and others (which you obviously didn't check) where you also find the real picture of Vlad if the order of The Dragon (Dracul), aka "Vlad Dracula". And about that Dragon, check "The Dacian Draco" on wikipedia.
