Bran Castle (Dracula’s Castle) - One of the most imposing historical monuments of Romania is in Bran-Rucar Pass. Bran Castle is located about 30 km away from the city of Braşov, on the road that goes through the old Bartolomeu neighborhood and connects Braşov to Campulung Muscel, the first capital of Wallachia, where the Piatra Craiului Mountains meet with the Bucegi Mountains. Built on a cliff, the castle now houses the Bran museum, a museum that spans its four floors. And although foreign tourists come annually in search of Count Dracula’s legend, and the guide emphasizes his mythical side, the history of Bran Castle fascinates them alike.

Rasnov Citadel: Garden and Panoramic View - Râşnov fortress is undergoing maintenance and restoration works; as a result, access inside the fortress cannot be permitted. Currently visitors can access the grouds / garden only and admire the exterior.
Râşnov Fortress (Rosenau in German), is located on a rocky hilltop in the Carpathian Mountains, 650 ft. above the town of Râşnov. First mentioned in an official document in 1331, the fortress was built by Teutonic Knights as protection against invading Tartars and was later enlarged by the local Saxon population.
- Peles Castle - Peleș Castle (Romanian: Castelul Peleș pronounced [kasˈtelul ˈpeleʃ] ⓘ) is a Neo-Renaissance palace in the Royal Domain of Sinaia in the Carpathian Mountains, near Sinaia, in Prahova County, Romania, on an existing medieval route linking Transylvania and Wallachia, built between 1873 and 1914. Its inauguration was held in 1883. It was constructed for King Carol I of Romania. The first three design plans submitted for Peleș were copies of other palaces in Western Europe, and King Carol I rejected them all as lacking originality and being too costly. German architect Johannes Schultz won the project by presenting a more original plan, something that appealed to the King’s taste: a grand palatial alpine castle combining different features of classic European styles, mostly following Italian elegance and German aesthetics along Renaissance lines. Works were also led by architect Carol Benesch.[2] Later additions were made between 1893 and 1914 by the Czech architect Karel Liman

Bran Castle, one of Romania’s most notable historical landmarks, is found within the Bran-Rucar Pass. Situated around 30 km from the city of Braşov, it’s reached by traversing the ancient Bartolomeu district and the road that links Braşov to Campulung Muscel - the inaugural capital of Wallachia. This road also serves as the meeting point for the Piatra Craiului and Bucegi Mountain ranges.
The castle, crafted on a cliff, is now the location of the Bran Museum, a collection that occupies its four floors. Although foreign tourists visit each year, lured by the story of Count Dracula, and the guide indulges this fascination with tales of the legendary figure, the true history of Bran Castle also holds a powerful allure.
