Bran Castle, situated near Bran and in the immediate vicinity of Braşov, is a national monument in Romania.
Commonly known as “Dracula’s Castle” it is marketed as the home of the titular character in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

On May 18, 2009, after 61 years, 4 months and 11 days of state ownership, the Bran Castle was returned to the children of Princess Ileana of Romania, Dominic, Elisabeth and Maria Magdalena.
Four years later, the Bran Castle has become a destination for over 500,000 visitors. Recognizing that Bran was the inspiration for Dracula’s Castle in the Bram Stoker’s celebrated novel, “Dracula”, visitors can enjoy rooms dedicated to Transylvania’s most famous count.
We invite you to experience the history, the myth, the intrigue and the magic of this wonderful place and it’s Queen. We hope that you will carry the spirit that makes us love Bran Castle with you, always.
We look forward to your visit.
