Happy Halloween from Dracula’s Castle! 🦇
Yes, this is the real Bran Castle in Transylvania, Romania, and yes, they really do decorate it with pumpkins, brooms, and a friendly ghost this time of year. 🎃
Here’s what you need to know before you go:
✨ Go in fall. The golden foliage around the castle is unreal, and it’s the perfect time to visit.
✨ Go early. The courtyard fills up fast, and the best photos happen before the crowds arrive.
✨ Make it a bigger trip. Pair Bran with the medieval town of Brașov and the fairytale villages of Transylvania for a Europe itinerary most travelers never think to book.
Fun fact: the castle is tied to the Dracula legend, but Bram Stoker never actually visited. The real magic is the history, the architecture, and the views. 🏰
