Charming old towns to visit in Romania this year

Many cities in the western part of the country have well preserved Old Towns, inviting visitors to take a stroll on winding cobbled streets and admire centuries-old buildings and structures, and attempt to imagine a time that no longer is. We put together below several suggestions of cities with well-preserved historical centers to consider for this year’s travel list.

The historic center of Sighișoara is one of the best preserved in the country and has been included on the UNESCO World Heritage list as a “fine example of a small, fortified medieval town which played an important strategic and commercial role on the fringes of central Europe for several centuries.”
