Bran is more than the home of the renowned Dracula Castle from Bram Stoker's novels. The Bran-Moieciu region is celebrated for its natural beauty, breathtaking landscapes, and preservation of Romanian traditions. Regardless of the season you visit, be ready to discover an abundance of activities & Transylvanian atmosphere!
Activities
Bran Castle
@adrianna171
At the historical border between Transylvania and Wallachia, Bran Castle is a world-renowned attraction known for its connection to the tales of Dracula and rich regional folklore. Dating back to the 13th century, "Dracula's Castle" holds stories as old as time.
Immerse yourself in regional folklore tales of ghosts and vampires, a former royal residence, a time-travel tunnel and walks in the castle's park which will bring you the mystic Transylvanian atmosphere.

Details
If you're looking for a short and convenient way to explore the region, I strongly suggest considering booking a day trip!
Based on my experience, these allowed me to effortlessly venture into less frequented areas, especially while solo-travelling, and gain insights into the region's stories from interactive guides. This is also an excellent way to connect with other travellers!
