Bran Castle Visiting Transylvania without mentioning the 'D word' is always going to be tricky and a trip to Bran Castle will do nothing to prevent the occasional: 'Mwhaha, I want to drink your blood,' etc.
Once that's out of your system, Bran Castle provides a cultural, if not slightly touristy, interlude with Queen Marie's art and furniture combining with secret passageways and fabulous views from the upstairs balcony.
Brasov Medieval architecture and Gothic church, yup! In the shadow of Bran Castle's fairy tale spires, oh yes! But is Brasov the home of Dracula? Brasov is a picturesque market town situated within the southern Carpathians which makes it the perfect base for winter sports enthusiasts, people watchers and summer crowds. The local bison breeding centre is also well-worth a visit and works in partnership with Rewilding Europe and WWF Romania to help bison and other animals return to the wilds of the southern Carpathians.
