When I was young, every time I think of the place, Transylvania, I always think of it as a really scary place where Dracula lives. But when I knew I was going to the Transylvania region in Romania, I was so excited because that name has always intrigued me. So, when Vin suggested that we go to Bran Castle, Dracula’s home, I agreed without hesitation. However, I really did not have much expectations because every one that we met, including the locals told us that Bran Castle is really not that amazing.
To get to Bran from Brasov, you need to take Bus 2 from Autogara 2 (the name of the bus terminal). The bus costs 7Lei/1.5Euro and it takes around 40 mins to reach Bran.
Without a doubt, I was not amazed by Bran Castle at all. When I saw photos of the interior of Bran Castle, I thought it looked like a modern home.
However, Bran is pretty nice. And even though the Christmas market was super touristy, the people there are really nice. I would say just visit Bran if you are already in Brasov.

No! So sad that it actually looks like a modern home. But I guess it’s better to lower my expectations and not be deceived when I go, so thanks for warning us!
