Who doesn't like to be scared?
As Halloween is fast approaching, hotels and castles are multiplying the offers for thrill seekers.
But there is one more spectacular than the others.
For those who find themselves in Romania, and more specifically in Transylvania, Bran Castle organizes experiences like no other.
This Saturday, October 29, the place, better known as the "home of Dracula", will organize celebrations around Halloween.
On its Facebook page, Bran Castle details the festivities that will take place during the day or at night.
Several options, depending on the ticket office of the event, such as the Halloween Tour by Day and the Magic Time Tunnel by Day, two tours of the castle open to children.
The adult-only night offers different experiences, including evening fortress tours, but also a large vampire-themed dinner.
Options accessible to all budgets.
The cheapest activity thus starts at 14.53 euros (70 Romanian lei).

The experience seems unique as Bran Castle - built in the 13th century for the knights of the Christian Teutonic Order before undergoing a transformation a century later - feeds the fantasies.
The property is said to have served as the inspiration for the novel
Dracula
, written by Irish writer Bram Stoker and published in 1897, although it is never explicitly mentioned in the book.
Vlad the Impaler, from whom Dracula is inspired, would have only made a brief stop there during the 15th century.
The stories around the castle, located nearly 200 kilometers from Bucharest, are therefore more literary myth than established fact.
However, the place remains one of the most popular attractions in Romania.
Because far from a gloomy fortress, Bran offers rooms with richly decorated furniture.
And the events organized around Halloween always meet with certain success.
So for those passing through, it is still possible to experience some well-felt thrills.
