Bran Castle-Dracula

One of the most famous visitor attractions in Romania, is the Bran Castle in Transilvania.
People refer this castle to Dracula, but in fact there is nothing to do with Dracula (Vlad Tepes).
Vlad Tepes maybe stayed in this castle but never owned it.
The castle was built by the saxons from Brasov, in 1382 to protect Bran.
Near the entrance to the castle you can find a small market for souvenirs.
When you enter the castle gate you cannot avoid the strong Green all around (of course depends on the season).
In the castle there are a lot of rooms with special Romanian old costumes, with swords and other accessories.
There is also a balcony to view the beautiful commune of Bran.
