For those who don't know, Transylvania is a real place, and Dracula's castle exists! Also known as Bran Castle, this castle 🏰 was built in the 14th century and has since been made famous through pop culture, so subsequently without doubt, it's the most visited landmark in Romania.
We joined a tour that took us here from Bucharest, but along the way we also visited some other sites, including Peles Castle, and I must say, that is probably what played into our disappointment with Dracula's castle. Peles castle was majestic in both the interior & exterior, with the design & architecture of the interior showing the sheer amount of thought and effort put into it, and to be fair, no other castle I've visited has had as much of a wow factor as this one.
Dracula's castle on the other hand....the outside was promising, but the inside was such a letdown. The rooms were mostly bare with maybe a few Halloween looking decorations inside, a lot of screen projections of vampire/werewolf images, and it very much gave "haunted house at your local theme park" vibes. ⚰ They basically took their pop culture fame and ran with it 💀
Still worth visiting though, but lower your expectations
