 We
will start the tour by visiting his birthplace town of Sighisoara; an almost

can enjoy a meal in the house where Vlad was born (now a restaurant). Then
moving onto the medieval town of Brasov which was one of Vlad's most prosperous
cities. After visiting the Bran Castle, known to many people as Dracula's Castle
but this is heavily disputed.
