Use a realistic train allowance
Direct CFR services connect Brașov and Sighișoara. Recent dated results include journeys around 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 30 minutes. This is longer than the short distance on a map might suggest. Check the train you will use, including any engineering changes, and keep a museum booking away from arrival time.
Buy the train, then plan the climb
The CFR planner shows the selected service and fare. Choose a direct journey if it suits your day, and carry something to eat if you have not confirmed catering. Sighișoara station is in the lower town; the citadel is uphill. A room inside it may mean cobbles and steps with luggage.
Choose one paid visit after arrival
Walk through the citadel once you have settled in. The Clock Tower and History Museum adult ticket is 50 RON; its 110 steps are a separate climb from reaching the old streets. If arrival is late, keep the tower for the next morning and use the evening for a meal and a shorter walk.
Plan the arrival
Continue with the Sighișoara guide when choosing a base and local visits. Add this journey separately to your daily spending plan. The distance above compares the city centres in a straight line; the route you travel can be longer.
