You’ll get closer to the Dracula legend with visits to Dracula’s castle in Bran and to Sighisoara, the medieval town where Dracula is said to have been born. In Bran you’ll see the castle commonly linked to the story and, in Sighisoara, you’ll explore the old town and visit the house associated with his birth. Along the way you’ll learn more about local history and traditions that shaped the region’s tales.

As you move through these sites, you’ll hear about the origins of the Dracula myth and the real people and events behind it. The experience includes a taste of local flavour when you try a shot of brandy at the birth house.
