The castle was used as a fortress in defense against the Ottoman Empire in the 1400s. in 1920 the castle becomes a royal residence and since then it has been associated with Queen Marie of Romania. In 2005 the castle was given back to the successors of the royal family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But&nbsp;<strong>Bran castle&nbsp;<\/strong>is perhaps better known as&nbsp;<strong>Dracula\u2019s castle<\/strong>&nbsp;although no links can be made between the infamous Romanian rules Vlad Tepes and the castle. Bram Stoker seemed to have only merely associated the castle with the Dracula story but the castle\u2019s location and beauty merged well with the mystery of Bram Stoker\u2019s novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"visiting-bran-castle\"><\/span><strong>Visiting Bran castle<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today the castle is a beautiful museum opened to tourists who can find here a large art and furniture collection belonging to Queen Marie. The castle is easily accessible and tourists coming from Bucharest will have to drive less than 200 km to the Bran-Moeciu village in Brasov County. The area is an ideal location for holidays or even short weekends. Its unspoiled beauty attracts many foreign tourists who come to see the castle but fall in love with the place and the charming people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The castle can be visited Monday thru Sunday and one ticket for an adult is 30 lei, or 6.6 euros. Seniors have to pay 25 lei (4.5 euros) and children 7 lei (1.5 euros). There are extra costs for filming inside the castle (20 lei or 4.5 euros). Amateur photography is free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know more about other&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.romaniandentaltourism.com\/top-10-places-to-visit-in-romania\"><strong>beautiful places in Romania<\/strong><\/a>, our team if experts is ready to answer your questions.
