Car

If you are driving, head towards Sighișoara from your starting point. Once you arrive in Sighișoara, look for signs leading to the city center (Centrul Istoric).

Public Transportation

For those using public transportation, take a bus or train to the Sighișoara train station. Once you arrive, exit the station and head towards the main road (Strada 1 Decembrie 1918). You can either walk, which will take about 20-25 minutes, or take a local taxi for a quicker journey. If walking, continue straight until you reach the city center. The Clock Tower will be visible as you approach the historic area on Strada Turnului. Make sure to check local bus schedules for the latest information on routes and timings.
