The recommendations of our guides:
While in Sighisoara you have several options to eat lunch or snacks. We provide you enough time during the tour to dine in a restaurant or have snacks at different stalls and enjoy a stroll on your own and look for souvenirs.
One of their favorite snack is the Langos, a deep fried bred dough topped with cheese and sour cream as savory or powdered sugar/jam as sweet snack. We always recommend Alte Post Restaurant where delicious traditional food is served.
For souvenirs guests usually go for traditional, handmade gifts, easy to transport. Many of these are wooden spoons, small jewelry or even T-shirts.
