Bram Stoker made us feel the myth of Vlad Tepes -Dracula- in our own skin, perfectly describing, thanks to his enviable imagination, the majestic Bran Castle. The most curious thing about all this is that he did so without ever traveling to Romania in his lifetime, and although Vlad "the Impaler" never lived there, he was imprisoned in one of its dungeons for several days during the Turkish invasion. This, along with its great resemblance to the castle in the horror novel, makes this place a fundamental stop to follow in Dracula's footsteps through Romania!
Transylvania: Travel to the Mystery at Bran Castle in the Carpathians
Another curiosity you will discover when visiting the castle during your trip to Transylvania is that this medieval mansion is built on a rock, at no less than 200 meters high, where previously a Teutonic fortress stood. Just 25 kilometers from Brasov, in an amazing natural setting and shrouded in an aura of mystery, Bran Castle is a must-see on any trip to Romania. Dare to get lost in its underground passages and discover some of its 60 rooms!
With more than fifty countries explored, my passion for authentic adventures and my experience in leading exploration trips make me a unique guide for those looking to go beyond the known. In every expedition, I seek to forge genuine bonds with people and their traditions, guided by deep empathy and respect. My intuition for choosing less explored routes makes each journey with me a living narrative and an odyssey of personal and collective discovery.
