More Dracula tourism

The other big Dracula tourist trap is in Sighisoara, the purported birthplace of Vlad Tepes, aka Vlad the Impaler, aka Vlad Dracul. The connection brings out all the tourist vendors with souvenirs of varying quality, but the town itself was a pretty magnificent experience of stepping back into medieval times. The fortified walls around it, the narrow cobbled streets, and the old buildings built close together felt like a movie set - but this was real.
