• Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle) - A short drive will take you to Bran Castle, often referred to as ‘Dracula’s Castle’ due to its association with Bram Stoker’s 1897 Gothic novel and its infamous villain. As you approach this secluded castle, the towering stone walls and red turrets of the hilltop fortress become visible against the stunning Carpathian backdrop. Visitors can enter, after paying the entrance fee (at their own expense), and explore the castle’s numerous well-preserved rooms and chambers with a guide.
