I spent most of this video with my mouth open saying, "Wow" a lot. That was _really_ fascinating, Sinead! Thank you for this Halloween treat!
That was stunning. The architecture and autumn colours just brilliant. What a Halloween treat, thank you Sinead.
How did I miss this? I love that Dracula lore and vamps are my guilty pleasure. So totally cool.

King Charles owns several houses in Transylvania and the surrounding area. Some say he is a descendant of Vlad Tepes (Dracule) through Queen Mary. Anyway, he was just there last summer as I recall. I think he's trying to help the local economy too.
Sinead your the best! Thanks for the visit to Romania beautiful! Jane & Graeme Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you Sinead.. I am going to watch the Bram’s Stoker film tonight 🧛♂️
Fantastic! I’ve never seen anything like this. Thanks so much!
romania is not a place i thought I needed to have on my bucket list but after this I'm convinced I need to live there! What a beautiful place with probably the worlds most beautiful women! Thanks for taking us along for the ride in this incredible place! Happy Halloween! 🖤

Hi Sinead! I have been awaiting this video with increased anticipation over the past two weeks. Thanks so much for taking the trip to bring us a glimpse into these beautiful places!! The history lesson was a great added bonus, as still not many people outside Romania are familiar with the country. Your buddy, Radu the Handsome 🤣

Sinead, this is so neat. Reminds me of when I was kid and my mom went to visit her family in Germany and we visited the castles in their area including Schloss Frankenstein. This year we went to Salem, MA and visited the Peabody Essex Museum and saw lots of street performers as part of Haunted Happenings.
Thank you for this very special Halloween visit.

Dracula has always been my favourite book . As a child the image of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as Van Helsing fascinated me . Later as I got older and learned of his involvement with the Ottoman Empire and Turkey and the way he punished his enemies and it's no wonder Brahm Stoker got the inspiration for the story .

Sinead! This was magnificent. I have seen videos of Bran Castle on a couple of other channels that I follow but one literally ran through it and I got vertigo from trying to watch it and did not really see anything except white walls. The other showed some things but not what you showed. Thank you so very much for this special Halloween treat. And as I always say, no one does a tour as well as Sinead.

Vlad Voivode never lived in Bran it was never his castle. It is pushed to get tourists there regarding the movie vampire. There is no proof he even stayed there. His one true fortress was Poenari. Also Vlad ruled the lands mainly of Walachia. I have relatives that still live in those lands.
Wow! Thanks so much for this video, it was spectacular.
