Romania

Romania is situated in southeast Europe and it’s home to Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”. But apart from vampires, Romania offers a diverse culture of invention, poetry and literature and their forests cover approximately a quarter of the country. Majestic castles illustrate the country’s medieval heritage and Bran Castle, set in deepest Transylvania, is top of the must-visit list. Dracula’s Castle sits austerely atop a sheer rock face where the views across the village of Bran are fabulous. But make sure you visit during daylight hours only and keep away when there’s a full moon!
