2. Dracula’s Castle and Brasov city
Autumn is a colored season, but it is the Halloween and spicy pumpkin latte season as well.

Balvanyos is a stunning area with a spa resort that lies at an altitude of 840–950 m close to the ruins of the 11th century Balvanyos Citadel and it has hydrothermal and volcanic features.
