Dracula Transylvania | Brasov Bran Peles | Romania Travel

- We absolutely loved Transylvania. We went expecting something spooky and very Dracula -centric, but what we found was beautiful wilderness, towns, history, and maybe one or two legends. Brasov turned out to be one of our favorite places in the world. The old town is busy enough to be interesting, but quiet enough to feel cozy and comfortable. The hike up to the Brasov sign was unexpectedly difficult - but only because we took the wrong route up. If you're looking for the more leisurely path - head to funicular and follow the trail that starts there. Or just take the funicular up (on a day it's operating!).
We had heard Bran Castle would be a letdown - it was supposed to be unbearably crowded, small, and sparse. Not to mention, Dracula is a figment of Bram Stokers imagination. The "real" Dracula never even lived in Bran Castle. As luck would have it, a Tuesday afternoon in October is the PERFECT time to go. We often found ourselves standing in rooms and stairwells completely alone which really allowed us to take it all in. Go to Bran Castle in the off season (which is also Halloween season!) if you can.
And last but not least, Peles Castle was a palace we had never heard of until we started searching for top places to visit in Transylvania. Wow, it blew us away. We've been to several palaces throughout Europe but this one was the most detailed we can recall. Unfortunately the only way to get in to Peles seemed to be via a tour. And unlike Bran Castle, it was crowded and you were always following your tour leader. So it didn't leave much space or time to linger in a room and really really admire all of the details. You could probably sit in a chair for an hour and still keep noticing different carvings and flourishes.

Happy Halloween! Searching for Dracula in Transylvania was lots of fun - but Transylvania is so much more than the legend. Thanks to @wadesellers and @peterpantraveler for some great times! 🧛♂️ 🍁
Awesome video on Transylvania. It gave me goosebumps all over again. Can't wait to see more videos :)
You always had Romania at the top of your list but I had NO IDEA it was so beautiful. Kinda miss it already
Bravo! Felicitări! (un vampir din Brașov) Transilvania, România!
Greetings from Brasov!
Thanks for the video!
Castle Peles is the first castle ever to have had electricity and a " central vacuumcleaner". When u visit the castle u could also visit the rooms wich arent open to the public because king Mihai I was living there untill his death in 2017. We did pay the extra fee and we got to meet Mihai I. He has been living in Belgium/ Switzerland after he fled for the Ceacescu-regime who forced him to abdicate and run from Romania while they were pointing a gun at him.
Mihai I Was also the one and only king who arrested a Hitler- puppet after the second world war.. He was 23 years old at that time !!
i missed this Peles Castle last time i visited Mr. Drekolas Bran Castle.
Next time! It was really cool
cool music! hello, from romania !
I had fun. Moar friends and smack talk!
More friends and smack talk coming right up 🍽
Vlad II Dracul, the father of Vlad III Dracul (Țepeș) was the founder of the Drăculeşti dynasty, which lasted until the 17th century.
The surname "Țepeș" is actually a nickname (given by the Turks) given to Vlad III Dracul(a) as a result of the method of stabbing used by him.
This nickname, it is associated with Vlad after his death, has remained in use to this day.
Draculesti was a branch family of the Basarab House not a dynasty.it was engaged in a bitter fight with another branch family the Daneşti for most of the 15th century.the founders of the 2 branches were Vlad Dracul, Draculas father, and Dan , both sons of Mircea the Elder
@@mirceapintelie361 DYNASTY = Family whose members succeed each other at the helm of a state (as princes, kings or emperors)😉
I counted 12 ghosts.
Wasn’t sure if I was going to have a Paranormal Activity moment when reviewing the footage of that hallway 👻
She have som surpize👍👀
So... how was Romania?
Whould you go there one more time?
It was amazing! We’d absolutely go again and check out some of the (many) places we didn’t get a chance to visit the first time. Bucharest is cool but def set aside enough time to see some of the towns in Transylvania!
Hi
Good video making
I am in India
Kinda busy for ur taste? What are u? A minimalist? It's a king's castle ,dude...
@Stanciu Bogdan: De gustibus... Not everyone likes it. Queen Maria of Romania, for instance, hated it, that's why she had the Pelisor Palace built nearby. She wrote in her memoirs about Peles that it was built "in that hideous German baroque style" and found it very opressing.
@@DukeOfTheYard I don't think that the castle was much of a problem, but her relationship with the king and the queen. I think that she wanted her own place and she had to say that she didn't like it. Personally, I don't think that Prosper castle looks better than Peles.
@@sterianburghelea6567 I don't much like Pelisor, but - apart from Maria's relationship with the king - I can understand why she wouldn't like Peles. It is the complete opposite of her personality and style. And I know several people who find Peles bleak and oppressive, so it's entirely possible that she would have thought so too.
Actually, it's how I felt too the first time I visited it, and I am not a minimalist. I think the problem for me is that the wood is dark and feels heavy in the smaller rooms.
