43 Spooky Cities Around the World People Would Not Go Back To

In Romania, the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler –the historical figure behind the legend of Dracula– attitudes towards the famous vampire are surprisingly understated, almost akin to an awkward family secret. Unlike the global fascination with Dracula and vampiric lore, this part of their history is met with a more subdued, almost reluctant acknowledgment in Romania.

Nevertheless, the country, with its enchanting landscapes and rich history, is a captivating destination. Visitors can explore fairytale-like castles and picturesque villages, immersing themselves in a culture and history far beyond the tales of bloodsucking counts. It is a worthwhile visit for its beauty and heritage, not just its vampire legends.
