Bran Castle
Beautiful small castle associated with Count Dracula, but only by the novel written by Bram Stoker. (Dracula has never been here)
The age of the castle is unknown, along with its original owners. It was renovated by Queen Mary, the wife of King Ferdinand, and used as a retreat.
The village of Bran has certainly made use of its location and similarities to Stoker's novel and turned the castle into a must-see location for those who love history, vampires, and spooky happenings.
Tickets are required to enter, which can be bought either on arrival or online. There is a fairly steep incline to reach the entrance made if cobbles, which can be slippery, so care is needed.
Below the castle, in the grounds is a market selling locally made crafts and souvenirs, and refreshments.
