Gigi’s Bakery & Café,  2200 W Temple St, Los Angeles (Historic Filipinotown), CA 90026, Score: 34/50
Tumblr media
This popular Cuban bakery in Historic Filipinotown provides a lot of options (mostly Cuban, but some Mexican and Salvadorean). However, the baked goods in the case are not labeled or the prices are not shown (I suspect they’re reasonably priced).
Score: 34/50
Food: 4/5 – You can order salads, tamales, sandwiches (Cubano, media noche, ropa vieja), burgers, breakfast (eggs, omelettes, huevos rancheros), Cuban dishes, etc. The Cuban dishes seem to be the most popular. There’s also so many baked goods to choose from including square cake slices, fruit turnovers, crescents, giant muffins, big flat cookies, conchas, smaller cookies, cakes and cake slices, flan, cream puffs, fruit tarts, and more. Bolillos and baguettes are made fresh daily. They also have Cuban specialties like guava pie, potato balls, croquettes and empanadillas.
Coffee: 4/5 –They have espresso drinks. I asked for café con leche got a latte. Is it the same? Anyway, it was pretty good, not bitter
Wi-fi: 5/5 – Free, unlimited, the password is posted on the wall
Ambiance: 3/5 – Cozy and inviting, a lot of brown colors, like being in someone’s home. It looks scary from the outside though.
Noise: 4/5 – Quiet Cuban music
Plugs: 0/5 – Didn’t see any
Parking: 5/5 – They have their own parking lot
Comfort: 3/5 – Small dining area with different size tables.
Bathroom: 3/5 – They’re outside. I was afraid to go inside.
Art: 3/5 – One old framed illustration that said visit Cuba
Tips: Order first, then grab a table. Bus your own table. Delivery and online ordering available.

Gigi’s Bakery & Café,  2200 W Temple St, Los Angeles (Historic Filipinotown), CA 90026
Tumblr media
This popular Cuban bakery in Historic Filipinotown provides a lot of options (mostly Cuban, but some Mexican and Salvadorean). However, the baked goods in the case are not labeled or the prices are not shown (I suspect they’re reasonably priced). A lot of the baked goods look like Mexican pan dulce. I spotted square cake slices, fruit turnovers, crescents, giant muffins, big flat cookies, conchas, smaller cookies, cakes and cake slices, flan, cream puffs, fruit tarts, and more. Bolillos and baguettes are made fresh daily. They also have Cuban specialties like guava pie, potato balls, croquettes and empanadillas.
Then there’s the menu – you can order salads, tamales, sandwiches (Cubano, media noche, ropa vieja), burgers, breakfast (eggs, omelettes, huevos rancheros), Cuban dishes, coffee (including Cuban coffee) and espresso drinks.
Papa rellena/potato ball ($1.85): round balls of mashed potato covered in crispy crumbs with a filling of seasoned ground beef – yum, more flavorful than Porto’s
Empanadilla de pollo/chicken turnover ($2.39): Not bad, a lot of crust (like pot pie crust but fried) and a decent amount of filling, chicken was shredded and in a light sauce
Cuernitos ($1.35): pretty dry, not much flavor
Latte ($4.25): asked for café con leche got a latte. Is it the same? Anyway, it was pretty good, not bitter
Parking is tough in the area but Gigi’s has its own parking in the back. Enter/exit slowly because cars enter/exit the same way and there isn’t any room for two cars to pass side by side. Finding a table might be tough too because it’s a popular place and there aren’t many tables. Order first and then grab table., When you’re done, bus your own table. Free wi-fi available.
4 out of 5 stars

Maybe the words sweet, linger, and future
oh no that's like all the words i put into my fics???? i haven't even started and i already know what to expect <3<3<3
sweet
bakery au:
Nobody actually calls people sweet cheeks, only truck stop diner workers smoking a pack a day and now, apparently, the very cute person at this LA cafe.
soup!:
She loves how weird she is, how cute she is, how sweet she is.
linger
soup!:
It’s just Gigi’s way of saying that she doesn’t want to see her shirt get stained, probably, but it still lingers in her mind as she nods and huffs out a laugh.
ghost :) au:
She drops her hand from her shoulder but it lingers, fingers brushing her arm on its way down.
future
postcards:
She had been dating him for almost two years at this point, and up until he left she was pretty sure that they would get married at some point in the future, if coming out to him went well, because it just made sense.

here is my london tips note:
London
Camden Market: takes a bit to get there (on northern like most likely if you are in central) about an hour: would def be a tad activity, theres lots of shops and markets and food stands decent prices too 
Soho: tourist trap city but super fun and always crowded has all the chain stores and such and china town is there I tried a few different Chinese places all were super good 
Carnaby Street: In soho main attraction with all the shops and restaurants and bars
Shoreditch: cute area new and up and coming
Spitalfields market: in shoreditch, super cute market closes early though usually around 5pm, has cute vendor shops and lots of fun food vendors and has cute shops around it as well (humble crumble had amazing desserts and dumpling shack had the best dumplings I ever had)
Brick Lane: lots of Indian and other asian cuisine foods and great bakeries, on the weekend it turns into an outdoor market with lots of vintage shops and food vendors
Notting Hill/Portobello road: super cute also takes a bit to get here, def recommend going on the weekend especially for portobello market its only open Saturdays and Sundays: streets of vendors and markets and street food, the cute pastel colored houses are all over for good insta pics
Hyde park: huge and cute for picnics but you dont need to go here any park will do tbh
London Eye: super cool it was $33 when I went, waited in line for about 45 mins and then you’re on for 30 mins if you have time its cool but not a need
Westminster Abbey/Parliament square/Big Ben: same area you will probably wanna go here just for the walking tour its cool to see and take pictures but its basically like a time square lots of tourists just walking around taking pictures *strawberry tours: free walking tours of west end landmarks to see all of them ^^^ 
Also recommend the Jack the Ripper tour they do if you are into true crime/horror*
Trafalgar Square/Picadilly Circus: very close together you can walk from one to the other, also kind of like a time square full of tourists taking pictures 
Regent Street: right next to picadilly circus more up scale shopping and fancier stores has a super good Zara though
Ronnie Scotts: jazz club open till like 6am in soho
Hampstead Heath: so beautiful but VERY muddy wear rainboots or shoes you dont mind getting filthy if you’re gonna walk around
Covent Garden: cute market with mostly chain stores, theres a shake shack in there which I frequented often lol and has lots of cute areas surrounding it
Oxford Street: lots and lots of shopping huge primark there which I did most of my shopping
Baker Street/Bond Street: more shopping not a necessity to go to
Harrods: super cool to see but also a tourist trap but the food market is insane so if you’re gonna go anywhere in there I would just go to that 
Selfridges: a smaller harrods but also not as fancy and expensive 
Kensington: such a fun and cute area lots of cute cafes and cute shopping areas and has the classic looking houses like in the parent trap 
Chelsea: next to Kensington super cute and fancy nothing really to do though
Primrose Hill: suer fancy are has the huge park and hill where you can see the London skyline amazingly (hill is a bitch to walk up but view is worth it imo) the pics of harry in that weird body suit with organs were there lmfao and also Eleanor is always walking her dog there lmfao
Borough Market: on the Southside of the river (across from central London) but super cool food vendors open mainly during the week till 5pm
Oxford Circus: huge strip of stores, restaurants etc similar to id say 5th ave in nyc but way more cool
Liberty London: kind of like a fancy Macys but has way cuter stuff and stores
Farm girl: theres one in notting hill and one in soho I went to the notting hill one, amazing breakfast but you need to make a reservation in advanced if you wanna go
Victoria & Albert Museum: free and has the harry cardigan (also Harris reed exhibit but that was $25)
Salisbury’s: great for cheap food if you end up cooking and meal deals, also super cheap bakery items, I would get a croissant every morning for 95 cents
Boots: super cheap food like a 7/11 and meal deals
Pret A Manger: sign up for 1 free month trial to get up to 5 free barista made drinks a day
Boots: convince store and pharmacy all in one like a CVS 
Simmons: great chain bar with cheap drinks and fun vibes
Weatherspoons: basically an Applebee’s with cheap drinks and food

THE TIG ARCHIVES│TRAVEL│INSIDER’S GUIDE TO THE LOWER EAST SIDE
“It wasn’t until filming the pilot for Suits that I began to know NY. And it wasn’t until a good year after that, that I began to know NY well. I found my nook. My downtown: a little grubby, a little rough around the edges, a lot stylish, and as cool as I aspired to be - we’re talking the Lower East Side. I love a neighborhood that you can get lost in, always finding new nooks and crannies, interest and intrigue. And while the West Village is high on my list, and nothing is more convenient for work than staying uptown, this neck of the woods deserves a post all its own. And trust me when I say, editing this down to our favs was a task in and of itself. Bon voyage, friend!”
- Meghan Markle, February 2015
STAY
The Ludlow - “When my dear friend, Markus (you know the one), intro’d me to Johnny Christ to check out the new property he had his hands in, I was tickled pink to try it out (after all, Johnny had been the main man at The Bowery Hotel, followed by The Nomad, and then West Village gem, The Marlton) - the man has taste. The Ludlow was generous in allowing us to use the space for a Tig photo shoot, both in the perfectly styled rooms, the welcoming lounge, and breathtaking rooftop. It really is a LES treasure which I can’t wait to call home next time I’m in the city.”
The Bowery Hotel - “An old standy, known for its cozy charm, who’s who nightlife scene (let’s not discuss the nights I’ve had on the back patio with everyone from my Suits cast mates, to Jess Stam, Dianna Agron, and the countless celebs you end up clinking glasses with). And yet, with all of that star power, it remains one of the most down to earth properties you could dream of - friendly staff, soaking tubs that wash away any bad day, and also small balconies from the baby suites that make it feel like your own LES sanctuary. Ask for Gigi. She’s my favorite.” 
EAT
Dirty French - “Since opening on the ground floor of The Ludlow this fall, Dirty French has been booked solid with reservations - and for good reason. It’s not only the classic, #throwback French restaurant that’s opened around the city recently, but it is one of the best (and considering it’s brought to you by Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi - the same team behind the much lauded Torrisi Italian Specialties, it’s not exactly a surprise). They’re not messing around with the food here because with plates like duck a la orange and cote de bouef for deux, you don’t come here if you’re just looking for a nosh.”
Contra - “It’s difficult to describe the food at Contra (they like to call it ‘contemporary New York cuisine’), but we can say this: whatever they’re serving today on their seasonal, locally-sourced 5-course tasting menu is delicious and like nothing you’ve ever had before. They use a ton of vegetables that tend to not get a lot of love on other menus (like kohlrabi) and combine flavors in unique ways that will certainly pique your tastebuds. Plus, at $55 for a tasting menu, you’re not going to get a better deal in the city if you tried.”
Freemans - “Hidden in the back of an easy-to-miss alleyway, Freemans has that hipster vibe that shows itself not only in the flannel clad crowd that heads there for brunch, but in its cool, eclectic decor. The food is great and the place is one of the coolest in the city, but note that they don’t take reservations, so bring your phone to flip through your Instagram feed while you wait.”
The Fat Radish - “A delightful and delicious British (yes, British!) restaurant, The Fat Radish may have one of the greatest restaurant names of all times, but that’s not why we keep going back to this beloved spot (okay, not the only reason). On top of its delectable, locally-sourced cuisine (featuring sharable plates like Montauk diver scallops and peeky toe crab gratin), The Fat Radish just has a happy, bright vibe that we simply love.”
Clinton Street Baking Company - “Hands down the most-loved, most-talked about, and most crowded bakery and brunch in all of NYC - and that’s really saying something. New Yorkers from every side of town flock to CSBC for their fluffy blueberry and banana-walnut pancakes and brioche french toast. But the real secret is that the restaurant serves their menu all day, including dinner, so if you ever have a hankering for breakfast at 9pm, you know where to go.”
SHOP
Reformation - “A brand that’s cute and eco-conscious - now that’s what we’re talking about. Reformation may be LA-based, but it fits right in to the Lower East Side, where doing things that are good for the earth while still remaining chic gives the area its mojo.”
Frankie Shop - “What was once the cult e-comm site Pixie Market’s brick-and-mortar is now the concept shop Frankie - a much more grown-up version of the original boutique. Head here for creative work wear (like tuxedo dresses and oversized turtlenecks) at prices that you’ll scoff at - for how low they are for the quality the goods are.” 
Narnia Vintage - “Vintage shops are like Starbucks on the Lower East Side - they’re literally everywhere, but Narnia Vintage is one that stands out. It may be a teeny tiny storefront, but its offerings are selected so perfectly that you won’t even need to rummage around through tons and tons of clothing. Narnia is known to be the fav of vintage pros around the world, so you know that it’s definitely at the top of its class.”
Russ and Daughters - “Historically, The Lower East Side housed mostly  Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, and you can still get a taste of that (literally) today. And in a city filled with a deli on every corner, Russ & Daughters is where you should be getting your lox for all those bagels and schmear you plan on eating later. The food shop celebrated its 100th anniversary last year (which they celebrated by opening up a cafe around the corner), so you know they’re at least doing something right (and that something is smoked fish.) Seriously - run, don’t walk over there.” 
Bowery and Vine - “Rather than raiding your mini bar for a $50 half bottle of mediocre wine, hit up this local wine shop that carries wines from nearly every region you could possibly think of. And their liquor offerings are notable as well, particularly with their whiskey selection. Plus, the staff is incredibly helpful and knowledgable, so holler at them if you need any help or if you just want to chat about booze.”
FROLIC
Yoga High - “Even though the Lower East Side isn’t as hectic as, say, Midtown, it’s still tough to find peace and quiet in a city like New York. So slow down, take a breather, and take a class at Yoga High. It’s crucial to slow it down for a quick hour or so while you’re in NYC, so finding a great yoga spot is critical, and Yoga High is the absolute best in the Lower East Side.”
The Tenement Museum - “Hands down --this is the coolest museum in New York City. And considering all the wonderful museums in New York, that’s saying quite a lot. But you’re not going to get the same experience that you do at The Met or The Guggenheim - The Tenement Museum is a hands-on experience. You’ll be taken on one of their many tours - either a walking tour of the neighborhood (including their legendary food tour) or a tour of an actual tenement. The Lower East Side is filled with so much history, and The Tenement Museum gives you a look at what it would be like to have been an immigrant in the turn of the century. This is something that you won’t want to miss - so make sure you sign up in advance on their website.”

City Guide to Sighisoara: Exploring, Must See Attractions, and Tips
Disclosure: We may receive a commission for links on our blog. You don’t have to use our links, but we’re very appreciative when you do. Thanks again for your support, we hope you find our posts and information helpful!
Quick Links
The Basics
Getting to Sighisoara and Exploring!
Must See Attractions in Sighisoara
We’d argue that a visit to the Transylvania region in Romania isn’t complete without some time spent in Sighisoara. Our original plans while visiting Romania didn’t include a stop in this charming city, however, we’re glad that our travels brought us there. It was the perfect place to stop between the Transfagarasan Highway (a once in a lifetime, world’s best road trip!) and Cluj-Napoca, Romania. There are many reasons to add this town to your bucket list, just take your pick:
It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The citadel dates back to the 12th century, making it a great place to discover and learn about the Transylvanian Saxons.
The city is full of color! Each house is painted in a different bright or pastel color, making the narrow, cobble stone streets extremely charming.
It’s in the heart of Romania’s Transylvania region. The tales of Vlad Dracula, vampires, and castles are strong here.
Explore the history of Vlad III (aka Vlad the Impaler), who is said to have been born here. While being known as the inspiration for Dracula, he was also a strong military leader of Romanians, protecting them against the Turks.
Let’s Cover the Basics: 
Where's Sighisoara?
How Old is Sighisoara?
How to Pronounce Sighisoara
Where to Eat in Sighisoara
What's nearby: Airports, Castles, Villages, and Hikes
Festivals in Sighisoara
Sighisoara Tourist Information Centers
Where's Sighisoara?
Sighisoara is in central Romania, on the Târnava Mare River and in Mures County. It’s also in the heart of Romania’s historic Transylvania region. As a point of reference, Sighisoara is 290 kilometers (180 miles) northwest of Bucharest and 157 kilometers (97 miles) southeast of Cluj Napoca.
How Old is Sighisoara?
The area where Sighisoara is situated has been occupied since the first century CE, when the Dacians inhabited the area and built a fortification named Sandava. Then, during the 12th century, Transylvanian Saxons built the current fortress, also known as the citadel. It was first known as Castrum Sex, which translates literally to Fort Six, meaning six-sided camp. Sighisoara has been known by many names over the centuries, but was first referred to as Sighisoara by Vlad Dracul, Vlad the Impaler's father, in 1431.
How to Pronounce Sighisoara?
Based just on the spelling, Sighisoara can be a bit of a challenge to learn to pronounce. We learned to pronounce it as ‘See-gi-shwa-ra’. As we know though, the best way to learn to properly say something is by hearing it. We recommend using this audio guide to practice your pronunciation of Sighisoara.
Where to Eat in Sighisoara?
Casa Vlad Dracul – Probably the most famous and most visited restaurant in Sighisoara is Casa Vlad Dracul. It’s the former home of Vlad Dracula, aka Vlad the Impaler and Vlad Tepes. Come for a traditional dinner and, if you choose, pay a few Euro to see the room where he was born. Location: Strada Cositorarilor 5, Sighișoara 545400, Romania
La Perla – A popular pizza place located in the center of town. Location: Piața Hermann Oberth 15, Sighișoara 545400, Romania
Cafe Piata Cetatii – A great café in the main square. Location: Piata Cetatii, Sighisoara 545400, Romania
Casa cu Cerb – Located in the main square and easy to spot since a deer head is mounted on an exterior corner of the building. They serve traditional Romanian dishes. Location: Strada Școlii 1, Sighișoara 545400, Romania
Gigi Covrigi Traditionale – A great place to come for traditional pretzels and bakery items. Location: Str. Muresenilor nr. 22, Brasov Romania, Romania

The Fortified Church at Saschiz – 10 miles east of Sighisoara

If exploring Sighisoara and climbing the hill to the fortress isn’t enough, be sure to check out local hiking trails!
Festivals in Sighisoara
Sighisoara is home to many festivals throughout the year. The anticipated one being the yearly Medieval Festival, which takes place each July. Visitors will be immersed in the celebrations with costume reenactments, concerts, parades, and plenty of beer and food to go around! Be sure to check the official Romanian events calendar to see what’s going on during your visit. Sighisoara seems to offer something for everyone, from a Horse Show and Vampire Festival to a Blues Festival.

Getting to Sigoara and Exploring!
Our travels in Romania began with a month long stay in Bucharest before we made our way to the unforgettable Transfagarasan Highway. From there we spent a night in Sibui, with a great Airbnb host, before continuing on to Sighisoara by train. We’ve been on many trains throughout Europe during our travels, but the trains in Romania were a different experience. They’re not as modern, comfortable, or as fast as other trains we’ve been on, but we’re not complaining. Honestly, the age and slower speed of the trains added to the experience of the countryside, along with the fields of corn and sunflowers that we passed on the train ride. There was limited air-conditioning and the trains were packed, so it was a bit, shall we say, ‘stuffy’ at times. However, we had a chance to meet new people and pass through areas of Romania that we wouldn’t have otherwise. Some of the towns we passed through were so small that the train stopped at what could barely be categorized as a train station. The train we were on to and from Sighisoara seemed to be a daily route and a train that locals took to commute from one place to another.
On the train, being surrounded by other travelers and their large, heavy, cumbersome bags reminded us of the gratitude we have for lightweight and one bag travel! Once the train arrived in Sighisoara, we grabbed our backpacks and were able to quickly disembark the train, minding the three-foot drop to the platform, of course. The station was quaint and everything you’d expect from a small countryside train station. There was nothing fancy like an underground passageway or bridge to walk from one platform to the next. No, instead, along with everyone else, we crossed over the tracks to exit the platform and the train station.
From the train station we walked across town, through the ‘newer’ suburban area, and made our way to our Airbnb (use our link and $40 off your first stay!) that we’d booked ahead of time. It was in a great location, just a couple of blocks from the citadel and the old town center. Everything in Sighisoara is in close proximity, so even though there’s public transportation, we didn’t need it. We walked everywhere, which not only got us from point A to point B, but we’re able to enjoy all of the scenery in-between. Whether you’re enjoying the amazingly preserved old fortified city in the center of the city, or walking around the suburban streets of Sighisoara, you’re bound to enjoy the sights. The medieval buildings can’t be missed, as their intricate and decorative facades were absolutely beautiful and varied from building to building. Each home had it’s own personality with a different color of paint, from off-white and soft pastels to bright colors. To top it all off, the streets were lined with roses and it seemed that on almost every block there were at least a few fruit trees. We saw everything from apples and pears (sadly not ripe during our time there) to plums and grapes!

Exploring Beyond Sighisoara
Sighisoara’s attraction list is short and can be easily seen in half a day. However, once you step into the city and its old walls, you’ll be lost in time. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself lost in the charm of the streets, the colors, and the beautiful architecture! A full day to enjoy the slower pace of life in this well-preserved, beautiful town is the bare minimum. If you’re one to enjoy exploring the town, or one to enjoy sitting in the various cafes looking out on the city, then we’d highly recommend setting aside a couple of days here.
Before arriving in Sighisoara, we explored the possible activities and sightseeing attractions in the town. We gathered up everything amazing to see and do and placed it on our digital map. To possibly make your research on sightseeing in Sighisoara (and other destinations) easier, we’ve kept our maps with all of the information we gathered (accurate at the time of our sightseeing). Finding hours, prices, and general information can sometimes be challenging, so we’ve tried to include these details on our maps and provide appropriate links. And finally, not every attraction is suitable for every visitor, but the copywriters and marketing departments for the destinations sure make it sound like it. How many times have you read “Great for kids and adults alike” and shown up at the venue to wonder why anyone over 20 years-old without kids would go out of their way to be there? Below we’ve included our itinerary with tips, impressions, and our takeaways on each place that, when combined with the official attraction information and website, may help you decide if it’s a destination for your travel adventure or not.
NOTE: We used this sightseeing map for our personal sightseeing adventures, because of that, some notes may not make perfect sense, and some information could be outdated. Information on this map was valid at the time of creation. All prices are shown in US dollars but are actually Romanian LEI (local currency). That being said, feel free to save it to your Google account and use it as a starting point (or modify it accordingly) for planning out your personalized itinerary in Sighisoara. 
Best Time to Sightsee in Sighisoara 
Sighisoara is a city that not surprisingly, draws many tourists, so don’t be surprised to see tour buses and large crowds of people in the city. If you’re anything like us, then you’ll very much enjoy having the cobble stone streets, the town square, and the many stairways up to the citadel to yourself. We found that leaving our hotel between 7 am and 8 am gave us a good hour or two to explore the old city while it and its visitors still seemed to be asleep. It was the best time to take pictures, enjoy the serenity, and explore the streets. Then, when shop owners started opening their doors and putting out their goods, and visitors started to meander towards the attractions, we were able to visit the clock tower just as the doors were opened.
The Fortification Towers 
During the 12th century, in an effort to protect the eastern borders of the Hungarian kingdom, the King of Hungary invited German craftsman and merchants to what’s now known as Sighisoara. The city wasn't only in a strategic location, but it had also become a hub of merchants and artisans, making it one of the most important cities in the Transylvanian region. Each guild was responsible for building, maintaining, and defending one of the 14 fortification towers in the city. The towers were unique, in that they were fortresses in and of themselves. Meaning, that even if one was captured, the integrity of the city as a whole would continue. 
Along the half-mile defensive wall, only 9 of the 14 fortification towers remain. All of the towers can be seen from the outside, however only one, the Clock Tower, is open to the public. As a notable event in the town’s history, a large fire engulfed Sighisoara in 1676 and many of the towers, homes, and buildings were destroyed or damaged and later underwent repairs and rebuilding.
Sighisoara Clock Tower (Turnul cu Ceas)
This is a central attraction in Sighisoara, and one we cover it in more depth below.
The Tinsmiths' Tower (Turnul Cositorarilor) 
The Tinsmiths' Tower was built in the 13th century and is 25 meters (82 feet) high. This tower is quite uniquely shaped and has a square base, followed by a pentagonal section that was added in the 16th century, and then topped with a widened eight-sided section and a hexagonal tiled roof. If you look closely, the tower still shows the damage from bullets during a siege by Hungarians (1704-1706).
The Cobblers’ Tower (Turnul Cizmarilor)
The Cobblers’ Tower protects the northeast side of the Citadel. The original tower was destroyed in the 1676 fire and the current one was built in 1681. Also, the bastion of artillery for this tower was destroyed in 1846 and the wooden staircase on the tower wasn’t added until 2001.
The Tanners' Tower (Turnul Tăbăcarilor)
The Tanners’ Tower dates back to the 13th and 14th centuries and is in the southeast part of the citadel. Its purpose was to protect the town square and the courtyard of the Clock Tower. Amazingly, this tower wasn’t damaged by the 1676 fire.
The Tailors' Tower (Turnul Croitorilor)
The Tailors’ Tower is, aside from the Clock Tower, the largest and most impressive tower of the Citadel. Its size and design are signs of the wealth of the Tailors’ Guild at the time. It’s located opposite the Clock Tower and stands at the second entrance to the Citadel, where the two archways are actively being used to usher pedestrian and vehicle traffic in and out. The tower was originally built in the 13th and 14th centuries, but the upper section was destroyed during the 1676 fire when the gunpowder being stored inside exploded after being ignited by the fire. During your visit, be sure to look up at the tower and you’ll notice the downward-facing openings that were used to pour boiling oil on invaders!
The Blacksmiths’ Tower (Turnul Fierarilor)
The primary purpose of the Blacksmiths' Tower was to protect the Monastery Church. As such, it’s located behind the church and on the northeast side of the Citadel. The tower was re-purposed as a fire station in 1874. When viewing it from the inside of the Citadel walls, don’t be fooled by it’s short stature; from outside the walls it’s impressively large.
The Furriers' Tower (Turnul Cojocarilor)
The Furriers’ Tower has a simple design and dates to the 14th century. It was rebuilt in the 16th century and repairs were necessary after damage from the 1676 fire.
The Ropemakers' Tower (Turnul Frânghierilor)
The Ropemakers’ Tower, that dates back to the 13th century, is thought to be one of the oldest buildings in Sighisoara, because its foundations are on the pre-Saxon citadel walls. It’s also the only remaining inhabited tower of the nine in Sighisoara. It’s currently used as a guard house for the cemetery of the Church on the Hill in Sighisoara (Biserica din Deal).
The Butchers' Tower (Turnul Măcelarilor)
The Butchers’ Tower protects the western side of the Citadel and was originally built in the 15th century. It had to be re-built in the 16th century to raise it above the bastion built directly in front of it, so that it would enlarge the field of view. During its rebuilding, it was reconstructed in a hexagonal shape with three floor and historical writings indicate that it housed five arquebuses (a long gun), a few cannonballs, and gunpowder.
Clock Tower (Turnul cu Ceas)
The History and Architectural Features
The Clock Tower is among the most beautiful clock towers in the region, and rightfully so. The Clock Tower is the main tower of the Citadel and protects the main entrance to the walled city. It’s no surprise then that the base walls are 2.35 meters (7.70 feet) thick and the second floor walls are 1.30 meters (4.25 feet) thick! The clock tower was a public tower, housing Town Hall until 1556, and unlike the other towers wasn’t maintained and protected by just one guild. It was a public good and responsibility, therefore protected by all. The tower can be seen from almost all places in the city and is unmistakable. It was built in the 14th century and was expanded in the 16th century, after the fires of 1676, to reach its current height of 64 meters (210 feet). During the expansion, the Baroque features of the roof were added, but the colorful tiles you see today weren’t added until 1894. When visiting, take notice of the four small spires you see on each corner of the roof, they're said to signify that Sighisoara had judicial autonomy and the ‘right of the sword’ (ius gladii), meaning they had the right to impose capital punishment.
The Clock
The clock on the tower is one of the most interesting parts of the tower. There are two facades to the clock, one facing into the Citadel and one facing into the lower city. Both sides of the clock are adorned with linden wood figurines that measure 80 centimeters (31.5 inches) in height. On the side facing the Citadel, four sets of figurines can be seen on the clock:
Peace Goddess is to the left, holding an olive branch and a trumpet
The Little Drummer is to the right, with a bronze drum
Justice and Righteousness are in the center, Justice is blindfolded with a sword and Righteousness holds a balance.
Day and Night are in the upper pulpit and are represented by two angels. At 6 am, the angel figurine representing day comes out to start the working day. At 6 pm, carrying two lit candles, the angel figurine representing night closes the working day.
On the side facing the lower city, seven figurines representing the days of the week can be seen on the clock
Sunday symbolizes the metal gold and is represented by a woman crowned with sunbeams. Notice her hand positions, as it indicates that she lowers and raises the treasure of the Earth.
Monday symbolizes the metal silver and is represented by Luna, the Goddess of the Moon, and by Diana, the Goddess of the Hunt.
Tuesday symbolizes the metal iron and is represented by the God of War, Mars/Ares/Tiu. The symbol over his head is the zodiacal sign of Aries.
Wednesday symbolizes the metal mercury and is represented by the God of Trade, Mercury.
Thursday symbolizes the metal tin and is represented by the God of Thunder, Jupiter/Thor.
Friday symbolizes the metal copper and is represented by the Goddess of Love and Beauty, Venus/Frya.
Saturday symbolizes the metal lead and is represented by the God of Sewing and Seed, Saturn.
The Museum and Outlook Terrace
Inside the Clock Tower is a museum that spans across each floor of the tower. For 15 Lei (under $4 US dollars during our visit) you can explore the museum and learn the history of the town and the tower. It’s a quaint museum, however the real interesting part of it all is seeing the inside workings of the clock and an up-close view of the figurines. Arguably though, most visitors probably pass by the museum fairly quickly and make their way to the lookout deck. The stairs up are winding, narrow, and steep, so visitors should climb and descend them with caution. Once at the top, the observation deck is just a small step outside. It was originally a fantastic place to lookout over the city and surrounding areas and spot danger as it approached, whether it was enemies or fire. Today, it offers a 360 degree lookout over Sighisoara and the countryside beyond. On a clear day, views of the town and churches with beautiful tiled roofs, and the green countryside covered in thick green trees, can go on for miles. If you’re looking for the most picturesque views, we’d have to say they’re in the direction of city center. So, make note that, if you go in the morning, the sun will be shining brightly in this direction, casting strong shadows and washing out photos you may want to take.
Vlad Dracula House
The brightly painted yellow Vlad Dracula House is near Citadel Square, just past the Clock Tower. Today the building is a restaurant, Casa Dracula, but historically it was home to Vlad Dracula, who was part of the Order of the Dragon. Hence the name Dracula, which comes from the Latin word for dragon, ‘draco’, and the meaning behind the dragon sign that adorns the front of the building. What makes this home famous though, is that Vlad Tepes (aka Vlad the Impaler, the son of Vlad Dracula and the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula, was born here in 1431. While he only lived here until he was four, in addition to a meal, you can pay a small fee to see the room he lived in.  
Church on the Hill (Biserica din Deal)
Located at the highest point of the citadel, at 429 meters (1,407 feet) elevation, this church can be seen from all directions. To reach the church we climbed the Scholars’ Stairs and took the path to the left to wind around the outside of the church. One of the first things we noticed was the simplicity of the church, inside and out, which is likely due to the limited means of the city when it was constructed. The church is an evangelical church dedicated to St. Nicholas and dates back to the 13th century, although it underwent renovations in the Gothic style in the 14th and 15th centuries. Sadly, an earthquake in 1838 caused the collapse of the vault above the choir, which today you’ll notice was replaced with a wooden imitation. Renovations in the 20th century uncovered portions of wall paintings throughout the church, two of which are of particular note. The first is the unique fresco in the archway that depicts the Holy Trinity as a three-faced entity and the second is the Last Judgement painting that doesn’t show purgatory. Admission to the church was 8 Lei during our visit.
Additionally, when exiting the church, you may choose to visit the old Saxon cemetery directly across the cobblestone pathway and opposite the church’s entrance.
The Church of the Dominican Monastery (Biserica Mănăstirii Dominicane)
This church was first written about in documents from 1298 CE and became the city’s official Lutheran church in 1556. The church was repaired after the fire of 1676 and obtained its present look after repairs in 1929. When visiting, be sure to see the Transylvanian renaissance carved altarpiece from 1680, the bronze baptismal font from 1440, the carved stone door frame in Transylvanian renaissance style from 1570, and the collection of 16th and 17th century Oriental carpets. Admission was 8 Lei during our visit.
The Scholars' Stairs (Scara Şcolarilor)
This unique medieval structure connects the lower citadel with the School and Church on the Hill. The covered staircase was built to protect school children and churchgoers from winter weather and was originally 300 stairs long when it was built in 1642. However, in 1849, the staircase was reduced to the current 175 stairs. The wood sheltered staircase is quite unique, and while it’s a climb, we think it’s worth the effort for the experience, as well as reaching the top and visiting the Church on the Hill.
Holy Trinity Church (Biserica Sfânta Treime)
This Roman Orthodox Church is on the northern bank of the Tarnava Mare River and can be reached by a pedestrian bridge. The church was built between 1934 and 1937 in a Byzantine style and dedicated to the Saint Trinity. Even though this church isn’t in city center, we recommend a visit inside to take in the ornate interior! Admission is free.
Exploring Beyond Sighisoara
If you’re in Romania and enjoy the citadel in Sighisoara, you may consider taking a tour of all seven of the medieval Transylvanian Saxon citadels, known as ‘Siebenbürgen’. They are spread across the region and located in:
Bistrita (Bistritz)
Brasov (Kronstadt)
Cluj Napoca (Klausenburg)
Medias (Mediasch)
Sebes (Mühlbach)
Sibiu (Hermannstadt)
Final Thoughts
Sighisoara captured our whimsical imaginations and was such a great place to visit! It’s a rare opportunity to be able to explore the streets of such a well preserved citadel and UNESCO World heritage site. Romania has so many treasures to explore, and we’d highly recommend visiting Sighisoara!

Note
For the word game!! :) “idea” “cry” and “hand”
hello my beloved <3
idea
bakery au:
Groggy, disheveled, a little lost, and stumbling through the door of the darkest cafe she could find—forgetting her sunglasses in sunny California with this hangover had her regretting the last few shots, even if she had called it the “best idea ever” last night.
ghost au:
She doesn’t immediately shoot the idea down this time, something she knows the apparition of Crystal next to her notices and takes as a win.
cry
soulmate au:
They want to scream, already planning a patent-pending Methyd Power Cry (as Heidi has lovingly dubbed it, and the name caught on through their friend group) in the staff bathroom in the back as soon as Jan comes in to take over in the afternoon.
(i already posted this sentence in a wip wednesday a while back but shhhhh)
hand
bakery au:
She’s inching towards the door, but the first step she takes backwards sends Gigi’s hand shooting out, grabbing her sleeve gently from across the counter. 
soup!:
“Go do real cooking,” she says, gently nudging Crystal out of the way with her hip and covering the hand holding the knife with her own.
ghost (?) au:
Gigi knows how that smile makes her face light up, how she leans forward when she laughs, how her hair moves and her hand comes to cover her mouth sometimes.
