Hiking

The vampire hype surrounding Count Dracula and his alleged residence at Bran Castle is a big money-maker for tourists. Souvenir vendors offer everything imaginable related to the bloodsucking Prince of Darkness: mugs and T-shirts, refrigerator magnets, and garlic necklaces. There's even a small vampire-themed ghost train.

You're greeted by a sea of kitsch and Dracula-themed junk, as well as supposed Romanian folk art. Overwhelming. :-(
Only afterward do you realize the crowds of visitors from all over the world.

Yes, Dracula never lived here, but it is still absolutely worth a visit 8-)
