If you plan to visit Romania in the cold season, you will certainly be tempted ti choose Brașov and its surroundings as your holiday destination. Durring your stay, I recommend to make a reservation at the restaurant “Stâna Turistică Sergiana”, near Poiana Brașov. The reservation is needed because there are many people, in particular foreign tourists, standing in line just to enter the restaurant. You can call a taxi from Brasov city to Poiana Brașov which is at a distance of 13 km, a 20 mins ride. I hope you enjoy your stay! ❤️🇹🇩#2023travelwish #mytripvlog #foodie #romania

What better place to be at in the spirit of Halloween than to visit Bran’s Castle, also known as Dracula’s castle in Transylvania, Romania? The name came about as the author of the horror novel Dracula, Bram Stoker, set this castle as Count Dracula’s residence in the story. The interesting thing is that he never actually visited this castle but the castle came from his own imagination based on the picture of Bran Castle that he had seen. While the name itself may sound intimidating, it is actually not that scary in real life. In fact, the castle itself was occupied by a royal family, before being acquired as a private museum for both locals and tourists alike. This castle is actually very popular, and it was crowded when I was there. The souvenir shops outside the castle are selling Halloween themed souvenirs that look more intimidating such as shirts with black cat motifs. #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers

Getting There - The app flight updates were about 20 minutes later than everyone else's dispute the fact I had the web page up and the app open. Luckily our flight was t cancelled with WizAir but sure to their reviews, they didn't leave on time but left 2 hours late. We got there eventually but wouldn't recommend the airline if you want to get somewhere on time and don't mind missing a few hours of your holiday... Attractions - Go to Brasov! it's wonderful and much better than the touristy places such as Bucharest. Check out the mountain trails and roads and see the old WW2 castles, forts and Dracula's castle! it's worth the journey! Hotels - No point, go and do an AirBnB! ours was immaculate and right in the town for less than a hotel. We even had a whole apartment. Food & Restaurants - Seek out Ma Goscote or at least try some local 'traditional' cuisine. Be prepared to go into a food coma though. Shopping - Again, go to Brasov! The malls/Shopping centres there are immaculate and will provide you and even the kids with a day's worth of entertainment. Arcades, cinemas, restaurants, shops, classy shops and some adventure attractions await. #brasov

[Travel around Eastern Europe] Vampire Castle train into the layers of the mountains of Transylvania, the weather becomes gloomy. When it arrived at Bran Castles, it was overcast and it seemed to be a good day for vampires to go out. This is the castle inhabited by the Count of Dracula in the novel, and in fact the archetype of Vampire's archetype, Vlad, is associated with the castle for a few months when he was imprisoned as a combat prisoner. The original owner of the castle was the Romanian royal family. After the death of Queen Mary, she was passed to Princess Ileana. Socialist Romania overthrew the royal family to confiscate the castle, and the princess family went into exile in the United States. In 1989, the new government came to power. Ten years later, the castle was finally returned to the descendants of Princess Ileana. The legend of the vampire made Bran Castle the most popular castle in Romania, but it is hard to feel the atmosphere of Count Dracula here. It is a sigh of excitement in the historical torrent of the castle owner's royal family.
