Bran Castle, or Dracula Castle in Transylvania, is one of the most popular attractions in Romania. Now, in the era of the pandemic, it becomes even more attractive to visitors, as they can now be vaccinated against coronavirus.
With tourism hit by the pandemic, the castle marketing team has found a creative way to link COVID-19 vaccines to the history of the iconic building which is said to be the inspiration for Dracula’s house in Bram Stoker’s 19th century gothic novel.
The author’s character is a count in Transylvania with a castle perched high above a valley, on a cliff around a river. He is often confused with Vlad Tepes, also known as Vlad Dracul, who was the prince of Wallachia with a castle in the Principality of the region, which has collapsed.
Because Bran Castle is the only one in all of Transylvania that fits Bram Stoker’s description of Dracula Castle, it is known around the world as Dracula Castle.
Every weekend in May, “vaccination marathons” take place just outside the historic 14th-century castle, with no appointment required, in an effort to encourage people to protect themselves from the coronavirus.
The idea works as people respond to combine free vaccination with Pfizer / BioNTech along with a free tour.
