Ultimate Guide to Dracula’s Castle in Transylvania, for Halloween!

I went to Dracula’s Castle in Transylvania for Halloween. Surely the most worthy and best place to spend Halloween… in the world?

I was invited on the annual G Adventures Halloween party tour along with a few other travel bloggers, and 200 witches, demons, day of the dead ladies, vampires, sharks, zebras and pirates, to party in and around Bran Castle. The castle where Dracula lived, according to his creator and author, Bram Stoker.

I mean, Bram never actually visited the castle, his residence has never actually been officially confirmed and Dracula is fictional, so you kinda have to use your imagination there. BUT what is true (depending on who you talk to) is that Vlad the Impaler called Bran Castle Home for a few years.

And, he committed more horrible tortures and crimes than Dracula ever could in his 100s of year on earth. Vlad the Impaler was a MEAN man.

But, let’s get back to the history lesson in a bit. Most important things first… the G Halloween party at Dracula’s Castle.

So, we’re in Romania, but you know that’s where Transylvania is. A country that was top of my list for travels back in 2012 when this whole ‘travel blogging for a job’ thing started. Romania was the second country I visited when I gave up my full-time employment.

So I’d actually visited Bran Castle before, on a normal August day.

This time though, Halloween. Spooky.
