Must see if in Sighisoara
The clock tower houses the history museum as well so it's a double win for a mere 3 euros. There's not more to say... If you are there visit it. Try to go at first hour in the morning to avoid the crowd.

Great tower, poor info
This is the main monument in the old town and really ought to be visited. It offers great views of the citadel once at the top and the rooms on each floors are very interesting, with fascinating exhibits of the various professions that made the city thrive. BUT, as non Romanian speakers, there was very little we could read about the exhibitions and history. So we had to guess. As one of the highlight cities of Romania this is poor initiative, especially if they would like to capitalise on the recent interest and trend as a country to visit by European travellers. On top of this, you have to pay cash!!!!! How weird is this nowadays? Especially with Covid still around. They have so many visitors, the amount of cash they need to sort out at the end of each day must be so inefficient. Instead they should be spending time on training staff for visitors welcome (those guarding the exhibits in the rooms were concentrating on their own mobile phones only and were not keen to speak to even Romanian tourists, also very weird), and exhibits information to either get and read on mobile devices with QR codes or on paper. However, it’s still very much a must go to.
