Count Dracula might be a figure of fiction, but that doesn’t stop vacationers who stay in hotels in Bran, Romania, from wondering. This legendary destination is uniquely tied to the fictional character and Romanian history, as well. Located in Brasov County, the small city is famed for Bran Castle, which towers over the population center thanks to its hilltop construction. This castle, which dates to the 1300s is thought to have served as Bram Stoker’s inspiration for Dracula’s home in his famous novel. It later served as a holding of the Habsburgs and even was used by Queen Marie as a summer home.
