The Most Charming City SIGHISOARA, Romania (Located in Transylvania) 2022

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ส.ค. 2022
- The Most Charming City Sighisoara, Romania located in Transylvania! A small medieval town located in the heart of Transylvania, this is a must-see when visiting Romania. We allowed ourselves a few days to explore the small town of Sighisoara, also known as Dracula's hometown, which we found to be the perfect amount of time. Within the walls of the fortified city, there is so much to do from walking the winding cobblestone streets admiring the brightly painted buildings, visiting the magnificent churches, climbing up in the clock tower for the best view, and just allowing the city to take you back in time. After all the exploring, then find your way into the town square where you can sit down and relax and just take in the beauty this city has to offer! We hope you love exploring Sighisoara, Romania as much as we did!
Cheers!!!

You guys have really inspired my wife and I to slow travel the world. We will be starting in February of 2024. Thanks so much for being so informative
That is awesome, John! We are really excited to hear that. The planning part is really fun and 2024 will be here before you know it!
Cheers!!!🍻
If you come to Romania, most young people in major cities know some english and are usually willing to help with directions, tips, places to visit or avoid.
Another great video guys! Romania looks so good, love the coloured buildings and the views are just lovely. Thanks for taking us on your journey 😊
Thank you, Annette. Romania has been such a wonderful experience for us. So much more than we expected. Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
.. a genuine medieval gem ... yet to be discovered by the world tourism..
Thanks Brian & Carrie!🤟
Such a beautiful city! We loved all the Saxon history and the citadel is one of the most beautiful in Europe! It seems that we are posting somewhat in sync with you guys! Cheers!
Hi guys, we are posting somewhat in sync! Too bad we didn't run into you two along the way, would have been fun! Love the channel!! Keep the videos coming!!
Cheers!!!🍻
So glad you’re enjoying my home country! Don’t forget to eat Mici (pronounced “Mitch”) proper way to eat them: use 2toothpicks in V shape to dunk them in mustard, use leftover bread to clean mustard from plate + beer! There is no singular to Mici, because you’ll never eat just one!
I have had it a couple times now!! I tried it on our Bucharest video and missed pronounced it!!😆
Thank you for watching and being so welcoming to this beautiful country!
Cheers!!!🍻
Mici are pronounce more like "Meech".... mici and a cold beer on a hot summer time = heaven
Agreed!!
noroc!!!🍻
Mici is pronounced like Mitch
@@selcovoilucian8253 asculta un american cum pronunta Mitch apoi iti vei da seama ca nu este mici. Meech este foarte aproape de cum zicem in limba romana. Trust me
So beautiful Carrie and Brian. Looks more interesting than Maranoa in Venice. Thanks for taking us on your journey to places we will never go. Your videos are getting better and better, and the accompanying music was perfect.
Thank you!! We work hard at our videos and that darn music can be a bugger!!😆We really appreciate the comments!!
Cheers!!!🍻
My son and I went there in June 22 on a journey around Europe. Our very favorite place we visited!
We had such a good time in Sighisoara. We loved our time in Romania and will probably return sometime soon. Thank you for watching!
Cheers!!🍻
Great video with you guys wandering on the medieval streets of Sighisoara. Cannot wait to see more videos from Romania, Cheers or Salut (or noroc) in Romanian
Thank you!! We have about 6 more coming! We are really enjoying Romania!
Noroc!!!🍻
When my girlfriend and I lived in Hungary for two years, we loved to travel to small towns like this. Since it was corona, we didn't really get the chance to make it over the border to Romania again (we had been in the past). I'm excited to see what other places you guys end up visiting.
Hi, Brandon. We have about 6 more videos from Romania on the way!! Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
What a cool little town!! The drone shots are awesome guys. Keep up the good work & hopefully our paths cross when we're in Cluj-Napoca in a week and a half!!
Hey guys!! Thank you for the drone shot compliment!! We use stock footage from Canva!!😆We are leaving Cluj tomorrow for Oradea. Maybe we will meet up someday soon. You guys are doing a great job with your channel!!! Keep those videos coming!!
Cheers!!!🍻
România e țara mea și o iubesc cu bune și rele
Romania is beautiful!
Another great video! Feeling very inspired. Thanks!
Thank you, Carol! We really had fun with this one! Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
I was there in 2006 or 07.., was a festival... music, and .. , really nice!
Hi, Ryan. We had a really great time. What a neat little town!! Thank you for watching and commenting!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Enjoyed the tour of the Nice little town with rich old architecture. Didn't realize it was heat wave there too! BTW - I could tell Brian wasn't too happy with the Pizza he got for Lunch. May be the additional beer offset it. Thanks!
The pizza was great and the beers (2) were cold. It was 95 that day, a couple from Bellingham WA. that is HOT!!
THANK YOU. From Romania Est Europe with 💞
Thank you for watching and commenting on our videos, Lori!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Subscribed today... previously watched a few videos. Seriously considering a Romanian trip next year - Brasov. We love beautiful main squares.
Thank you! We would highly recommend adding Romania to your list. We will have several more videos coming out in the next few weeks including an overview video of our time here. Thank you for the support!!! We really do appreciate it!
Cheers!!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie PLUS… beer reviews obviously!
Siguranță și tot ce îți dorești
Need to put this on my bucket list. Great video.
So many beers, so little time.
Social!!
Hi, Vernon. Romania has some fantastic craft breweries! Two months won't be nearly enough time! Cheers!!!🍻
Breakfast beer lol…why not! Fantastic video and gorgeous sites! Thanks again! Cheers 🍻
Thank you, El Ricko!!😂
Cheers!!🍻
Love all your videos from my country! God bless you & thank you for your visit , beautiful videos! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you!!
Great video, thank you!
It was just what I needed to start the day fully refreshed.
Sighisoara is historic in most part of it … many people think that honking the horn is prohibited for noise pollution reasons and that is also true, but the main reason is preventing any sound vibrations to affect those buildings which are all very old … in such places one will never see concerts taking place, for example. I want to catch up, so I'll watch your next video right now.
Take care and stay safe.
Cheers
Beautiful places, thank you for sharing, we are going next year for sure 😎
Hi, Elena!! You two will have a great time!!
Cheers!!
Nice video 👌👏
Thanks!
Thank you, Carol, we appreciate this so much! ♥
Thanks a million for the video. Greetings from Brazil
Thank you for watching!
Cheers 🍻
Great video, love your travels!
Thanks so much for watching 😊
Great video. Loved the choice of music.
Thank you!! We have changed the way we are doing our music so it is nice to hear.
Cheers!!!🍻
Super cute City, super cute video too 😊❤
Thank you, Alex! ❤
I am from Sighisoara, I actually went to that school. The first buliding right after you are done with the stairs is the old living building for the teachers. Now it also has class rooms. The school on the very top is only grades 9-12. Lower grades are in the downward part of the citadel (grades 1-4 next to the clock tower and grades 5-8 next to the big square).
Imagine running up those stairs every morning while being late for classes :))) that was me!
Simona, that would have been me too!! Carrie, however, would have been on time!! 😆 Thank you for watching and commenting!!
O tara frumoasa
Beautiful city, hope we can get a cost analysis of how much you guys spent in Romania since you were moving around a lot here compared to the other places where you stayed put longer. I noticed AirBnb costs are rising due to inflation which is a bit concerning.
We will have our cost of Romania video out in the coming weeks. It will definitely be a bit different than the one from the past. Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!🍻
Hi guys!
Nice to see you again !
You entice me to visit again the streets you just visited... they are very colorful and touristy this days... very nice!
I'm happy for you that you're enjoying your time in Romania 🇷🇴
I love the sense of humor Brian 👍 and the music background is lovely (adequate).
Can't wait to see the video on Cluj-Napoca !
Have you eaten at The Shadow? ..steps away from the old city center towards Piața Muzeului ... I recommend polenta and tripe soup I think it would make your day Brian .. Carrie would like it too!
Safe trip to Oradea! Enjoy the scenery!🗽
Thank you so much for all the nice comments! We have not eaten at The Shadow and we leave tomorrow. 😔Thank you so much for watching Ciprian. We have a lot more coming on Romania!
Cheers!!!🍻
Bravo!
Thanks for answering so promptly ... to all the comments...
You guys are awesome!
Enjoy your time in Bihor County!
... swim suit for Felix! ... it would be a pity to miss it... 🍻
Cheers you!
Sorry!
I missed some crucial advice for Cluj-Napoca...
Maybe next time!🤠
Next time for sure! We have to come back someday! Thanks again, cheers 🍻
@@BrianandCarrie Wow!
You guys are on top of the game!😀
So prompt!
Have a great day!
Cheers!
Love it!
Please, visit also Oradea ❤️
We did!!! Such a nice city!! That video will be out in a couple weeks!
Cheers!!!🍻
we are giggling watching this, remembering our ventures on Romanian trains. We are pretty sure someone peed in our cabin on our train to Sinaia
HA! That wouldn't surprise us! 😆
We enjoyed our two month stay in Romania. Like you we moved from city to city
Thank you!!
I’ve been waiting all day long for Liverpool-Newcastle(they are playing right now);instead i’m watching your videos very relaxing thank you 👍😎
Thank you for watching Danutz! 😆
Cheers!!🍻
Great content! After spending 3 months in Southern Europe we bought our tickets for Asia. Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam here we come Jan-23! Really enjoy your channel, we share similar travel styles and love of beer!
Stephen! We are doing that same trip Starting early Jan as well!!! We should grab a beer!!!
Cheers!!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie We arrive in Bangkok on Jan 5. Would be pretty amazing if we could make it happen!
That is our tentative plan as well! We will keep in touch!!!
The biggest thing that strikes me is how quiet it is. Sighisoara is one of Romania's top destinations, but it's so chill there and not overrun with tourists.
😍🥰
🥰☺
Visit also Bistrița.....
👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Really enjoy your videos. We retired from California in 2014 and moved to a mountain area near Panama City. Our plan is to keep a home base but still travel three or four times a year for about one month each. If you get to Panama in the future, let us know. Cheers
We will absolutely let you know. Our original plan was Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, and Panama but coved prevented that from happening. We are scheduling a trip similar to early 2024. Thank you for watching and safe travels!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Sighișoara looks similar to Biertan and Mediaș
You guys missed the church up on the hill with the catacombs? And the underground dungeon themed restaurant? Maybe that's for tourists seeking Dracula stuff and you're not in that kind of thing.
The 10 lei is quite much for visiting a church, there are other churches in some deep parts of rural Transilvania witch are abandoned by the Saxons and entrance is 2 lei and they are begging for tourists, some still standing others is desperate need of repairs and some tourism could save them, it's quite sad actually
I agree 2 days in Sighișoara is enough for the place since it's a small charming little town
Waiting for your vlog on Sibiu or Alba Iulia 😉
Hi, Selcocoi. We got up to the church and it was closed! 😔 And yes, we opted out of the dungeon restaurant and torture chamber. We did point out where it is and how it is the birthplace of Dracula.
Thank you for always commenting!!!
Cheers!!!🍻
👍
As a homebrewer I love beer tastings Brian is doing!
Could you also cover the medical / hospital doctor visits in the countries you travel. Is insurance coverage compulsory for visitors in Europe ? Thank you for your informative and nice work you are doing.
We have covered some of that in the past. Our Portugal cost of living video covered some things. When we do have the need to go see a doctor we will definitely share our costs.
Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
You should try Alba-Iulia next!
We did and had such a great time!!! Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Nice video today on a location that is new to us.
Have you taken your carry-on bags on Ryanair?
We have not! We have flown TAP Portugal which is the most budget airline we have flown so far. We didn't have any problems. From our understanding, some of it will depend on the agent at the gate. We have been assured that the size won't be the problem, it will be the weight. We will be doing another packing video in Dec. before leaving for Southeast Asia to reduce our belongings more than we already have. Thank you for watching!
Cheers!!🍻
Great video guys, love your travels through Romania. Just a warning: be careful when trying to open a window whilst on public transport (or even a taxi). "Curent" is a major issue - ask an English speaking Romanian for an explanation 🤣
😂😂😂
LoL
The dreaded "curent" deadly and responsible every time you get sick
Brought to you by Balkan Superstition gang
go check the apolodor of damscus bridge over danube river
it is 2000 years old
I used to go to high-school in the top of the hill ,Joseph haltrich, in matter of fact I still live near Sighișoara
I started to hate those routes ,all those every day, and the stairs f**k the stairs ,the good thing is that u are always in shape
We only had to go up one time and said the same thing! Super cute town though, we had a great time. Thank you for watching!
Cheers 🍻
Great travel vids with the right mix of strolling around, sightseeing, beach and of course beer. I'd love to see what you two make of Granada if you ever go there - it's one of my favourite cities together with Montpellier. What is the smaller camera you use (not the DSLR)?
Thank you, Simon! We use a Canon M50 and a Sony a6400. We will be doing a video on all our gear and what we are doing differently now than when we started. That video won't be out until November. Thank you for watching!
Cheers 🍻
@@BrianandCarrie Thanks for that - with the budget airlines being fussy about weight I was thinking of a small camera. I have a decent DSLR but it's heavy.
The Canon M50 is the one we use for 90% of our video clips. We are selling the Sony a6400, great camera but its heavier than the M50 and does not have in body stabilizer and, it's cheaper!!
@@BrianandCarrie Nikon have announced they are dropping DSLRs altogether in favour of mirrorless - with smartphones being so capable now it's interesting times for photography. Having a viewfinder is important to me - particularly in bright conditions.
It will be interesting to see. My Sony a6400 is a nice compact camera but Carries cell phone has a better stabilizing system. Crazy to think!
What a charming and colorful little town! How long did you stay there? It looks relatively small compared to some other areas so thinking a few days would be sufficient??
Charming is the perfect way to describe Sighisoara! We were there for two nights and would say that is the right amount of time. Fun day for sure! Thank you for the continued support!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Little Vlad Dracula was living here))
Yes, such a fun day!!
Cheers!!🍻
Beautiful Old town. Brian, where is your hat?????
James, that $16 at was worth about $4! I do still have it though, I may pull it out soon! 😆
@@BrianandCarrie hahahahahahaha
Just curious, why aren't you driving? I just got back a 10 days long (rental) car fam-trip (with 2 small kids) around Romania, hitting the same/similar towns, including Sighisoara (my favorite). Giving the state of public trains in Romania, I strongly recommend driving around this country. The driving style is courteous and I haven't experienced road rage or recklessness (though I sure was making my share of dumb mistakes on the roundabouts). Cheers!
Hi, Peter. We are here for 2 months so we have the time. We travel on a budget year round so renting a car and paying for fuel is something that we are not currently in position to do. I do agree that we can miss some interesting sights without a car. Thank you for watching.
Cheers 🍻
Hi Guys, Big fan of Romania here. We got back from two weeks in Bucharest in October (Live in UK). I was wondering what sighisoara was like for wheelchairs? I heard its pretty bad. Considering adding the place as a day trip next year when we travel around Romania but my wife is in a wheelchair so I am not sure if its worth it for us.
Hi, Steven. You can drive up to the old town square but the upper school and church may be difficult, but it is possible. I would say that if you had a car it would be a fun day!
Cheers!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie Thank you. Its good to know we can access it by car. We will for sure keep it in our plans. We will be visiting Sibiu for the first time as well, so we can not wait to go back! Also Brasov which we did in 2017 and loved it there.
and BISTRITA. WHERE I WAS BORN AN RAISED
Hi my wife and I are really enjoying your videos we’ve traveled a lot in Romanian I’ve been pretty much everywhere you’ve been so far with the Romanian friend who acted as our guide who now lives in Portland. If you go more towards Transylvania there is a old Saxon Village called Viscri which has an amazing church. When we visited we were instructed to knock on the ladies door and she would come out and bring the key for us to get into the church to tour. We were the only people there and it was a memorable event. Check it out if you happen to be up that way. I also have good friends in Oradea . If you’re heading up that way let me know and I’ll break my nose social media rule and go on Facebook or Instagram and give you their contact information.
Hi, Randy! Thank you for the suggestions and possible contact information. We are on our last days here in Romania but expect to be back someday soon. Thank you again for reaching out to us!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Oh, you missed the festival. It was at the end of July.
We did miss the festival. We missed the one in Sibiu as well. The one thing is that the Airbnb prices go way up on the festival weekends. We have to stay on budget to be able to see everything we want to. Thank you for watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie did you try and find a place to stay in Biertan? I think it is cheaper there and also close to Sighisoara.
We did not. We left after a couple days for Sibiu. We are in Cluj now and heading to Oradea tomorrow. We only have a couple more weeks in Romania! 😔
@@BrianandCarrie there's a nice castle in Biertan too. Cluj is nice, but expensive to live in. Anyway, enjoy your visit and thank you for the video.
Thank you for watching!!
How often do you get lost when walking around a new place?
Not to often, fortunately 😊. We do use Google maps which does help quite a bit. We also love to wander so even if we take the long round about way somewhere we do tend to eventually stumble across it. Cheers 🍻
Morning
Are you going to do France?
Hi, Vicky. We will not be going to France this time around. Thank you for watching!
Cheers!!!🍻
☝️👏❤️🇷🇴🙌
Since you are both frugal, I think you will be a great resource to ask the following: what do you think of using credit cards? Do you use them to get airline points? Do you utilize any other hacks? I don't use any credit card benefits, except some cash back on my capital one card. I am a cash/debit card girl, but use Credit Cards for bigger purchases such as flights.
We use Capital One as well but other than that we don't really have any money-saving travel hacks. Eventually, we will have enough points to use on airline tickets. We did a Q & A video a few months back that may answer any other questions you may have. Thank you for watching!
Cheers!!🍻 th-cam.com/video/Cig7kaN386Y/w-d-xo.html
@@BrianandCarrie Thanks so much for your reply. Again, since you are frugal, you may consider showing your meal prep. Just a thought. I love you guys!! Keep the great content coming.
Surprising there aren’t many people outside…
We are thinking maybe people just aren't traveling as much as pre-pandemic? In Brasov, the weekends were really crowded but the weekdays were unusually quiet.
FYI , you can get visa extension in Portugal, easy , $100 , for an extra 90 days , have to just stay in Portugal
Yes, you are correct! We may utilize that in the next couple of years. Thank you for watching our channel!!!
Cheers 🍻
That is the high-school.

Where is your hat?
That $16 hat was worth about $4! 😆 It's all smashed in my suitcase, I should pull it out!!
Cheers!!!🍻

@man city By Romanians, the Hungarians were aristocracy, they didn't work anything, just consumed what other produced.
@man city didn't ask+you're wrong+don't care.
Yanks playing the M's recently has been like a torture chamber !! Stay cool and use sunscreen ! Cheers !!
Let's just wait and see what happens!! I'm not one to get ahead of myself!! 🙂 I have been waiting for you to message, however...😆
Cheers!!!🍻
@@BrianandCarrie 4 1/2 months to go for me !! can't wait.
It will go by so fast!!! So exciting!!!
Regarding 7:30, as you could probably tell by now, Romania has a big graffiti problem, especially in Bucharest. The city if simply uglyfied by all that graffiti everywhere you turn your head. I hate it, lucky for me I don't live in Bucharest :) Anyways it's done by "cool" teens who think they are "against the system" if they spray everything they see... I hope the trend will fade away.. wishful thinking :)
It does seem to be more common. We have seen it everywhere we have been, Seattle has a problem as well. 🍻
i wish people would stop doing "graffiti" all over the places , or at least make something nice if u still do it
Agreed, it is everywhere!! It is getting bad in parts of Seattle as well.😔
Great Channel. We just subscribed. Sent you a PM in Instagram as well.
Thank you! We will reach out on Instagram.
Cheers!!!🍻
