I almost impossible to visit Sighisoara and Brasov without visiting Rupea. Nice views , clean destination , a very good place to relax. When we visit the fortress in the internal court an ceramic artist was working on his pottery. Good for family ,children and we see even a wedding.

Rupea Citadel in Romania is a hidden gem with a rich history. Perched atop a hill, the views are breathtaking. The well-preserved fortress offers an intriguing journey through time. A must-visit for history enthusiasts and a great spot for panoramic photos. Don't miss it if you're in Transylvania!

I loved the place so much, however it saddens me seeing people’s name scratched on the walls, it kills the magic of the place. However saw they installed cameras, I think it was recently, but would definitely apply some fines for those who try to vandalize the monument. More info about the history of the site would also be nice, would like to bring my kids one day, and kids cannot be fooled by rocks, they need the story.

Don't expect to find much of interest in the rooms, currently they are bare, however a lot of work has gone into restoration of the castle so hopefully contents will improve in time. It is a pleasant walk to follow the path up to the summit, with impressive views across the valley. You can see where each ring of fortification has been added. Glad I never had to attack it. Not far off the main road, with good parking, an ideal spot to stop for an hour or so
