Bran Castle is one of Romania's most famous medieval landmarks, perched on a rocky hill in Transylvania. Built in the 14th century, it served as a strategic fortress and later became a royal residence. Although there is little historical evidence that Count Dracula or even Vlad III Dracula lived there, the castle's Gothic architecture, hidden passages, and mysterious atmosphere have made it closely associated with the Dracula legend. Today, Bran Castle attracts visitors from around the world who come to explore its history and experience the haunting myth of Dracula.

Sighișoara Citadel is one of the best-preserved medieval fortified towns in Europe and a Historic Centre of Sighișoara UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded by Saxon settlers in the 12th century, its colorful streets, defensive towers, and cobbled lanes preserve the charm of the Middle Ages. The citadel is especially famous as the birthplace of Vlad III Dracula, the historical figure who inspired the legend of Dracula. Visitors can see the house where Vlad is believed to have been born, making Sighișoara a fascinating destination where medieval history and vampire legend come together.
