Sighisoara Medieval Festival
The cost of the ticket is extremely low, somewhere around 50 cents, and the show is awesome. Thousands of people enter the citadel during the three days of the festival. It’s almost like a tradition now, to attend to the medieval festival. I sure don’t want to miss a single edition, because I’ve been there many times, and I’m completely wrapped in its charms. Not often you can take a bite of the past so authentic like you do at this festival. It’s so much more than visiting a medieval citadel. It’s the cheer of old times that the organizers try to create, and I think that they manage to get very close to the truth on each edition. Some of my greatest memories are linked to this town, and especially to these magic three days of festival.
Each time I go, I like to imagine myself a beautiful lady from the past, with Juliette Binoche’s amenity, wearing my leather roman sandals made by the greatest craftsmen I know in this area, and a beautiful dress. I like to think each woman who goes at that fest feels like a fair lady and each man feels like a mighty knight. You’ll taste better everything should you choose to enter the tale.
If you wonder about places to stay, don’t worry. Sighisoara has a lot of rooms to offer. Depends on what you prefer. You can either rent a room in a hotel, motel or a guesthouse, or you can crash at some of the locals’ houses. You’d still have to pay, of course, but at least you will get to sleep inside the citadel, in a medieval house and have a direct contact with the locals. The food is excellent, I assure you. So, meet you there oh mighty knights and fair ladies!
