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.

ROMANIA: EXPLORING DRACULA'S CASTLE in BRAN, the whole story ????????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go to the beautiful country of Romania and let's visit Bran Castle which is situated near Bran and in the immediate vicinity of Brașov and which is a national monument and landmark in Romania. The fortress is situated on the Transylvanian side of the historical border with Wallachia and it is known as Dracula's Castle since it is often erroneously referred to as the home of the title character in Bram Stoker's Dracula. There is no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle. The castle is now a museum dedicated to displaying art and furniture collected by Queen Marie. Tourists can see the interior on their own or by a guided tour.
Romania is a southeastern European country known for the forested region of Transylvania, ringed by the Carpathian Mountains. Its preserved medieval towns include Sighişoara, and there are many fortified churches and castles, notably clifftop Bran Castle, long associated with the Dracula legend. Bucharest, the country’s capital, is the site of the gigantic, Communist-era Palatul Parlamentului government building.

Cemetery of the Church on the Hill, Sighisoara, Romania 2012
To the north of the Clock Tower stands one of the most representative gothic-style structures in Transylvania, the Church on the Hill - so called because of its location on the School Hill (1,373 ft high). First mentioned in a document in 1345 and superposed on a former Roman basilica, the church is reached by a covered wooden staircase with nearly 180 steps known as the Scholars' Stairs. Opposite the church is the main entrance to a serene Saxon cemetery (open daily 8:00am - 8:00pm).

Enable English subtitle ! - Activați subtitrarea în românește !
Sighisoara Fortress is a medieval complex of military architecture, civil and ecclesiastical, included in UNESCO patrimony. It is the oldest and continuously entirety inhabited citadel in Southeast Europe. The fortress and medieval burgh were built by Saxon settlers beginning in the twelfth century. The settlement has developed rapidly, so that already in the fifteenth century reached the form that we see today. Flourishing city is largely due to guilds system. The guilds were also responsible for raising and maintaining the city walls (totaling 930 m long) and the 14 towers (of which remained 9). The most important of the towers, the Clock Tower, defend the main gate of the fortress and is its symbol. If it was in the medieval times the town hall, currently houses the Museum of History. In the city are over 160 old houses over 300 years, historical monuments. Video performs a tour of the Fortress, being achieved most of the objectives of tourist interest.
Cetatea Sighișoarei este un complex medieval de arhitectură militară, civilă și ecleziastică inclus în patrimoniul UNESCO. Este cea mai veche cetate locuită în întregime și continuu din sud-estul Europei. Cetatea și burgul medieval au fost construite de coloniștii sași începând din secolul XII. Așezarea cunoaște o dezvoltare rapidă, astfel că deja în secolul XV ajunge la forma pe care o vedem noi astăzi. Înflorirea cetății este datorată în mare măsură sistemului breslelor meșteșugărești. Acestea, au fost responsabile și de ridicarea și întreținerea zidurilor cetății (totalizând 930 m) și a celor 14 turnuri de apărare (din care se păstrează 9). Cel mai important dintre turnuri, Turnul cu Ceas, apară poarta principală a cetății și este simbolul acesteia. Dacă în perioada medievală era sediul ”primăriei”, în prezent găzduiește Muzeul de Istorie. În cetate sunt peste 160 de case vechi de peste 300 ani, monumente istorice. Videoclipul realizează un tur al Cetății, fiind atinse majoritatea obiectivelor de interes turistic.
