Perched high on a 200-foot (61-meter) cliff in the heart of Transylvania, Bran Castle is enveloped in an aura of mystery. This fortress is often linked to the legend of Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula and the historical figure Vlad Tepes, also known as Vlad the Impaler, who is said to have resided here. Today, the castle serves as a museum honoring Queen Marie of Romania, offering visitors a glimpse into the region’s rich and enigmatic past.
