Castelul Bran și legenda lui Dracula. „Dacă cineva care nu crede în vampiri vine în România, când iese din castel va crede în vampiri?”

Bran Castle, linked to the Dracula legend, attracts tourists despite no evidence of Vlad the Impaler's presence. Its fame grew in the 1970s, becoming a key destination for those intrigued by the Dracula myth. The castle's association with Bram Stoker's novel has solidified its status, although Stoker never visited Romania. The historical Vlad Țepeș, known for his cruelty, is often conflated with the fictional Dracula. Despite the lack of direct evidence of Vlad's connection to Bran, the castle remains a popular site for visitors seeking the Dracula experience.
