There’s no better way to celebrate Halloween than exploring spooky medieval castles in Count Dracula’s home country. Fortunately, Romania has more of them than we can count, and these three can be visited during a single trip.

Peles Castle

This property sits in the very heart of the Carpathian Mountains, and it was built as a summer residence for the Romanian Royal Family. It features around 160 rooms, each one more lavish than the other, decorated in a different style or theme.

Bram Castle

Commonly known as Dracula’s Castle, this Transylvanian fortress once belonged to the famed author of Dracula – Bram Stoker. It’s one of Romania’s most popular landmarks, and every horror lover already has it on their bucket list.

Corvin Castle

This Gothic-Renaissance castle in Hunedoara also comes with a pretty dark backstory. According to the legends, it was the place where Vlad the Impaler was held as a prisoner. He later served as inspiration for the character of Dracula due to his reputation for cruelty.

🇬🇧 Have you missed me? I've never NOT posted for two full weeks before since I started with Instagram 1.5 years ago. But I was super occupied with a super cool freelancing opportunity that I was doing over the last two weeks and so I decided to stop using Instagram during these two weeks. Actually it wasn't difficult at all for me – how about you? Would it be difficult for you to stay off the grid for two weeks? . 🇩🇪 Hey ihr Lieben! Da bin ich wieder! Seitdem ich mit Instagram angefangen habe, war ich noch nie für ganze zwei Wochen offline. Aber ich hatte die letzten zwei Wochen eine super spannende Freelancing Aufgabe (leider darf ich euch nichts davon erzählen) – und da wollte ich mich komplett konzentrieren und gar kein Instagram verwendet. War eigentlich ziemlich easy für mich. Wie ist es mit euch? Würde es euch schwer fallen, zwei Wochen auf Instagram zu verzichten? . . . . . #experienceromania #exploreromania #beautifulromania #hunedoara #hunedoaracastle #românia #transilvania #transylvanien #transylvania #visitromania #romaniapitoreasca #romaniamagica #corvincastle #castelulcorvinilor #visithunedoara #fernweh #fernwehsarah #fernwehsarahpresets #castle🏰 #castles_oftheworld #castlesoftheworld #castlesofeurope #beautifuleurope #ladiesloveeurope #girlstravelfix #girlstravelling #journeyofgirls #travelette #worldofwanderlust
