We will continue our journey with the Dracula's Castle in Bran, famous all over the world for its guest Vlad Tepes who used it as a headquarters for his incursions into Transylvania. In Romania is famous also for its important guest- the queen Maria - who loved spending the summers at this simple castle, away from the luxury of the royal life.
