Dracula’s castle

A visit to Transylvania would not be complete without a visit to the iconic Castle Bran just outside Brasov. The medieval fortress set on a hilltop surrounded by beautiful countryside was made famous by Bram Stoker’s horror novel based on the actual and infamous leader of the region Vlad the impaler. However despite the myth the castle itself is never mentioned in the story and the castle was not even set foot in by the tyrannical leader. The unexpected part of this is the fact that once you enter the castle you are entering what seems like a family home which has been perfect preserved form its days as a royal residence. #voyagevibes #romania #castle #dracula
