Bran Castle (Dracula´s Castle)

During my first visit I had taken a guided bus tour from Brasov to Bran, which I can also recommend. (Provider: https://transfercastel.ro) If you don’t have a vehicle available, you can also take the regular bus from Brasov to Bran. Commonly called Dracula Castle, the historic structure is said to have been home to Prince Vlad Tepes and is now one of the most visited attractions in Romania. The castle also houses a museum that displays numerous exhibits, including historical weapons, armor, furniture and more. Furthermore, at the foot of the castle there is a small park as well as a restaurant and a souvenir market. Around the castle are more restaurants, souvenir stores and mini markets. The castle is worth seeing, but the large crowds make a visit exhausting.
