The Real Dracula: Halloween in Transylvania at Bran Castle

In this Free Tours by Foot Halloween special, Sinead will visit two royal residences as well as the charming old city of Brașov in Romania. Come with us to discover the real Dracula: Vlad the Impaler. Learn the inspiration behind Bram Stoker's iconic novel, as well as the myths and legends the author grew up with. Learn the story of the real Dracula, where he may have lived, how he became so infamous, and why some consider him a hero rather than a monster.

Find out why the myth of the Vampire was born as you explore the beautiful Carpathean mountains, a stunning summer royal residence, and the forbidding Bran Castle - Dracula's home. Join Free Tours by Foot in Romania with our special video celebrating Halloween in Europe!

Thanks for taking us to Romania and Dracula’s castle today ! I had no idea how beautiful it is. Thank you so much Sinead and Happy Halloween 🎃

Ponari castle is where the real Vlad Dracula really lived! Bran castle you showed us is the fictional castle of Count Dracula. Count Dracula is Vlad's myth and legend of him. He is one of Romania's greatest heros! The religion of Vlad is Eastern Orthodox. ( my religion too) Everything about Europe is just an incredible county! America is like a child compared to Europe XD!

Your Contant keeps getting better and better. That was one of the most grand castles I have ever seen. The stone landscaping was superb.

[lisaharrington]

Wow! Thank you Sinead for such a wonderful tour! I always enjoy wherever you take us but I hope you will do more like this as well as your usual London tours. 😊

[trishburke]

Thank you for such a great video. Most documentaries I’ve seen about Vlad show ruins. It was wonderful to see a well maintained castle of the period. And that view! Wow!

[gillsinclair]

Watching this again for the scenery. Also the beautiful interior. ❤
