Bran Castle

It wouldn’t be a visit to Transylvania without visiting the castle that actually fits Bram Stocker’s description of Dracula’s Castle. It is open almost every day of the year and costs a mere 6 euros to enter. Visitors here will find a beautiful mix of culture, art and architecture and recently the castle underwent an extensive renovation. For the full Dracula experience, make sure to take a ride in the glass elevator that lets you experience Dracula’s escape route. All year round there are music festivals, food fairs and children’s activities that draw over half a million visitors each year. Of course the most popular time to visit is around Halloween where the really spooky stuff comes out and night tours are offered throughout the castle.
