Oddly linked to the myth of Dracula, Bran Castle is an impressive medieval fortification in Romania which actually has very little to do with the famous vampire legend. Still worth a visit though.

Râșnov is 15 km away towards Brașov. It has an interesting citadel and old churches. Peleș Castle is 50 km south in Sinaia, which lies in a valley through the Carpathian mountains. Piatra Craiului National Park is on the mountain ridge west of Bran.
A museum during communist times and regained by the children of Princess Ileana in the 21st century, Bran Castle managed in just a few years to become a highlight of Romania’s castles. Before you visit, just remember that its real story has nothing to do with Dracula, but everything to do with its 600 years old past.
