The market outside the castle gates sells a mix of local products and tourist souvenirs. Among the former: sheep cheese (telemea and caș), smoked meats, handmade wool carpets, and lacework from local producers. The Dracula merchandise is unavoidable but easy to ignore. This is a genuinely good place to pick up Transylvanian food products — the cheeses and smoked items travel well and are among the best edible souvenirs in Romania.
