Visiting the Dracula Castle in Transylvania, Romania
Visiting Dracula's Castle (Bran Castle) in Transylvania, Romania
With howling winds we ascended the many steps leading up to the infamous Bran Castle. The castle associated with Bram Stoker's Dracula Castle is a national landmark and monument in Transylvania, Romania (Romanian: Castelul Bran; Hungarian: Törcsvár; German: Törzburg). We found the experience fascinating as most areas of the castle were open for tourists to explore including some dimly lit staircases. After checking out the castle we headed back down to briefly check out a market selling all kinds of trinkets and restaurant featuring hearty Romanian cuisine. Overall, if you're based in Brasov this makes for a fantastic 'spooky' day trip ;)

Visiting Dracula's Castle (Bran Castle) in Transylvania, Romania Travel Video Transcript:
So at last the destination we've been waiting for. We have arrived in Bran to visit Bran Castle which may or may not be associated with the Dracula. Hahaha. Let's go!
Oh ho ho, it's going to blow me over.
This is officially one of the windiest places I have ever experienced. The castle sits on a really rocky cliff so you get wind coming in every direction possible. And it is pretty crazy. We're just hiding out in this little nook for now.
Bran Castle sits on the border between Wallachia and Transylvania and it is the setting of Bram Stoker's horror novel Dracula. That being said, there are other castles in Romania linked to the legend of Dracula.
We're now entering the secret staircase.
Now we're checking out the torture chamber rooms and it is pretty gruesome the methods that were used back in the day. It makes feel quite lucky to be alive this present moment.
Overall impressions of Bran Castle? It was phenomenal. What really surprised me is that from a distance it doesn't look that big but when you get inside there is a lot to explore. Like we probably spent well over an hour just checking all of the different rooms, climbing up and down the stairs and just getting an overall impression of the caste.
Alright, so now that we have visited the castle it is time to go for lunch and I am hungry.
So it is very cold day here in Bran and it is also lunchtime so we've popped into a little restaurant and we're trying to warm up with the hottest, heartiest foods we can find. I'm having some soup with some polenta and a cup of tea. Sam's gone with a salad and the beef. Meh, a little healthy a little bland but here we are enjoying our Romanian lunch.
So the food I'm most excited about trying is something called Romanian Mici and if you look down here it's kind of like a pork sausage or a pork roll. And, oh wow, check this out. Oh, that looks good. It almost looks like a spicy sausage.
Mmmmm. That is an amazing sausage. So juicy, so tasty, so flavorful. I love it. Oh, now I'm going to try some next.
So the polenta with cheese has arrived and it looks a little bit different from what I had yesterday. Yesterday my polenta came with cottage cheese and sour cream but this one appears to have cheese melted on top so I think maybe they put it in the oven. It looks like it was kind of baked. Yeah, baked polenta. Look at the gooey cheese. Oh la la. Wow. That's going to be hot. Mmmm.
I think it actually has goat cheese in the middle. Like a salty goat cheese and then mozzarella on top. Pretty good.
After lunch, we did a little wandering around the town and we found that it reminded us of Halloween with all its spooky trinkets and souvenirs.
There is a cool little market nearby the Bran Castle selling all kinds of trinkets including warm hats, Halloween costumes and other kinds of souvenirs.
Hello, pup. Hello. Meet Dracula's dog. Or are you a wolf? You're a wild wolf. Yes, you are. Yes, you are.
It's biting my ass now. It's not a game anymore puppy. No, hey. Hahahahaha.
This is part of our Travel in Romania series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Romanian culture, Romanian arts, Romanian foods, Romanian religion, Romanian cuisine and Romanian people.

Transylvania: Land of Dracula
Bram Stoker's gothic novel Dracula begins with solicitor Jonathan Harker travelling through Europe to visit a mysterious count at his castle in Transylvania to discuss his purchase of a series of properties in and around London. Harker's travels in Transylvania starts at the Golden Crown Hotel in Bistritz from where he travels through the Carpathian mountains, up the Borgo Pass to arrive at Castle Dracula in the dead of night. Surprisingly, these locations actually exist. Transylvania is a very real place; a province within the modern country of Romania. This short film visits Bistritz (Bistrita) and faithfully re-traces Harker's journey up the Borgo Pass to the castle.

How to get to Bran (Dracula) Castle from Braşov and what to expect! CHEAPEST WAY

Dracula Transylvania | Brasov Bran Peles
We absolutely loved Transylvania. We went expecting something spooky and very Dracula -centric, but what we found was beautiful wilderness, towns, history, and maybe one or two legends. Brasov turned out to be one of our favorite places in the world. The old town is busy enough to be interesting, but quiet enough to feel cozy and comfortable. The hike up to the Brasov sign was unexpectedly difficult - but only because we took the wrong route up. If you're looking for the more leisurely path - head to funicular and follow the trail that starts there. Or just take the funicular up (on a day it's operating!).
We had heard Bran Castle would be a letdown - it was supposed to be unbearably crowded, small, and sparse. Not to mention, Dracula is a figment of Bram Stokers imagination. The real Dracula never even lived in Bran Castle. As luck would have it, a Tuesday afternoon in October is the PERFECT time to go. We often found ourselves standing in rooms and stairwells completely alone which really allowed us to take it all in. Go to Bran Castle in the off season (which is also Halloween season!) if you can.
And last but not least, Peles Castle was a palace we had never heard of until we started searching for top places to visit in Transylvania. Wow, it blew us away. We've been to several palaces throughout Europe but this one was the most detailed we can recall. Unfortunately the only way to get in to Peles seemed to be via a tour. And unlike Bran Castle, it was crowded and you were always following your tour leader. So it didn't leave much space or time to linger in a room and really really admire all of the details. You could probably sit in a chair for an hour and still keep noticing different carvings and flourishes.

Dracula Tour in Transylvania [IGEO TV]
There are a lot of stories about what the region of Transylvania (Romania)awaits but certainly, one of the most famous is the relationship of this land with the character of Dracula and vampire stories. Romania has been able to offer authentic tourist destinations for those looking to feel trapped by the mystery surrounding the figure not only the famous character of Bram Stoker's work, but also by the actual figure that inspired the legend: Vlad Tepes, known as The Impaler. Some of the sites that can be visited on this route are:
- Bran Castle: one of the icons related with the character of Vlad Tepes. It was built in 1382 as a border crossing to the Turkish threat, and it could have hosted Vlad in some occasions.
- Poienari Castle: located in Wallachia and built in 1459, this castle was home and shelter of Vlad Tepes, who ordered its building to protect the movement from Transylvania to the Arges Valley.
- Arefu: it is a small village near to Poienari Castle. It is said that Arefu is inhabited by Vlad Tepes servant's progeny.
- Brasov: ancient Saxon town. It was one of the cities that suffered the ravages of the brutality of Vlad Tepes for supporting the prince Dan who rivaled it. It should be pointed out that this city was held the last witch burning in Europe.
- Sighisoara: This town is situated between Wallachia and Transylvania and has one of the oldest inhabited medieval citadels in Europe. Vlad Tepes was born here and his house can be visited.
- Borgo Valley: in northern Transylvania stands this spot that stands out not only for its natural beauty, but also because it hosts the route of the character Jonathan Harker from Bram Stoker`s book.
- Castel Dracula Hotel: it is a hotel with 53 rooms, decorated and themed according to the stories of Dracula and vampires. Its location is what makes him unique as is in the exact spot where Bram Stoker placed the castle of Count Dracula in the top of the pass route Tihuta.
