Next, we'll swing by the Politehnica University of Bucharest. See Casa Niculescu-Dorobantu, a fancy castle-like home that looks like it's straight out of a Disney film. And don't worry, we won't forget about Casa Monteoru, the location of the prom scene, where you can relive all your high school glory days (or nightmares). As we admire the landmarks of Bucharest including the Arch of Triumph, the Revolution Square, and the Palace of Parliament (the second largest administrative building in the world after the Pentagon).

As you hit the road, you'll pass through the towns of Sinaia and Busteni, with a quick pit stop in the charming village of Balteni to check out the Olga Greceanu Mansion. Don't worry, it's not haunted...or is it? Next, you'll arrive in Sinaia, the "pearl of the Carpathians" and a popular mountain resort. Take a selfie in front of the Royal train station, which was used as the setting for Burlington train station in the film.
Busteni
  • 45m
Then, it's off to Busteni to see the Cantacuzino Palace, a stunning neo-gothic architectural structure that served as the exterior location for the Nevermore Academy in the storey. But watch out for ghosts, it's said that the design of the castle’s roof was altered digitally to fit the storey!

And if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of a real-life vampire (or just a tourist in a cape). So pack your bags, put on your comfy shoes, and get ready for a journey filled with spooky castles, mountain resorts and lots of laughs. Get ready for a spooky good time in Sighisoara as you check into the haunted-but-luxurious Casa Wagner Hotel. Your en suite room is just what the ghost doctor ordered and comes with a complimentary breakfast fit for a vampire. Spend your evening doing whatever floats your bat, whether it's exploring the town or just hanging with the hotel ghost.

See the Clock Tower Museum, the Medieval Weapons Museum, and the Torture Room (entrance fee not included, but trust us, it's worth it). Climb the stairs to see the Church on the Hill and enjoy the narrow streets of the city, but watch out for the time-traveling tourists!
Bran
  • 1h
Next, it's off to Bran to check out the famous Bran Castle (entrance fee not included). Surrounded by an aura of mystery and legend, the castle is perched high atop a rock and owes its fame to its imposing towers and turrets as well as to the myth created around Bram Stoker's Dracula. The fortress built in the 14th century, known as Dracula's Castle, due to American film directors, Bran served as a royal residence of Queen Mary from 1920 to 1948 and it is now one of the most visited museums in Romania.

Take a stroll around the old Town Hall Square (Piata Sfatului) where you can admire the colourfully painted and ornately trimmed baroque structures. See the Black Church (entrance fee not included), the largest gothic church in Romania. The interior is impressive and well-kept and houses one of the largest organs in Eastern Europe. Finally, you'll check into your hotel, the perfect end to a day filled with history, legends and good laughs. Get ready for a good night's sleep in the cosy city of Brasov at a 3-star hotel that's just a notch above a hostel. Your en suite room has all the amenities you need, like a bed and a roof, and wake up to a breakfast fit for a king (or at least a prince of 3-star hotels).
