Count Dracula’s Castle



Grounds at entrance to Bran Castle 


Wow .. the forbidding facade of the awesome Dracula Castle

Its real name is Bran Castle 

Going up is arduous but made bearable with paved cobblestones 

Everybody took photos on the steps leading up to the castle and we had to share pic space with others! 

Lots of nice views of the turrets from the many windows 

Bran Castle looking eerie in this pic from Pokemon go! 

Secret steps leading to 3rd floor 

More Instagrammable views from lookout windows

Lots of nooks and niches too 

Some rooms are furnished to give you a glimpse of how people live their life in a castle ... without electricity and running water! 

Leading back to medieval times! 

Even had torture chambers! 

And spiral staircases 

And an elevated courtyard

 View of the outside 

After exploring every room, we are out

So lucky we are able to enter every floor and every room to discover  the castle’s mysterious and spooky past 


Architectural wonder and feat... and no, I did not run into any vampire nor did I meet Count Dracula.
