Bran Castle
The Bran Castle is a mysterious castle located in Bran, Romania, and is often called as Dracula's Castle, as per Bram Stoker, an Irish author who created the title character, Dracula. There is no concrete evidence that Stoker knew anything about the castle, but just full presumption from people on how they imagined Dracula's castle would be. The castle is now used as a museum, displaying arts and furniture of Queen Marie, the Queen of Romania and wife of King Ferdinand I. Tourists can also hire a tour guide to guide them through the interiors of the castle. There's also an open-air museum situated at the bottom of the hill that showcases Romanian cottages, water-driven machinery from the region of Bran.
One of the nearest hotels to the Bran Castle is the Hilden Lodge and Restaurant, which is only 3 miles away from the city center. This hotel is like staying in a country because it is surrounded by forested hillsides and lush grassy fields. Contele Vladimir is a country-style hotel that gives out the glimpse of the view of castle. The room is spacious, equipped with a cozy fireplace. Because Bran is known as a horror place, its residents made use of what made their city popular. There's a Castle of Horror located in the city center. This is a vampire-themed haunted castle that draws tourists nearer. They are also selling medieval instruments for torturing and some freaky gift shop. Another attraction is the Wolf Park Adventure that has a set of facilities, outdoor sports workshops for educational and entertainment activities, following the development of team spirit, courage, skill and the ability to travel high altitudes.
