Bran is a handsome castle worth seeing on its own terms. Go expecting a castle, not a vampire.\r\nAre the bears a real risk? | Yes. Romania has the largest brown bear population in Europe outside Russia, and bears regularly enter Brasov's outskirts, especially the Racadau district, and the Tampa trails. Attacks and deaths occur. Never feed or approach one, never leave food out, hike in groups making noise, and avoid dawn and dusk.\r\nHow can I see bears safely? | The Libearty sanctuary at Zarnesti, which houses bears rescued from cages and captivity in large forest enclosures. Book the timed visit. Avoid roadside operations where people feed wild bears from cars \u2014 it is harmful to the bears and dangerous to everyone.\r\nBran or Rasnov? | Rasnov, if you only do one. It is a hilltop peasant citadel with a better view, it is cheaper at about 20 lei (\u20ac4), and it is far less crowded. Bran at about 60 lei (\u20ac12) is the famous one and is correspondingly busy.\r\nIs Brasov a good base? | The best in Transylvania. Bran and Rasnov are thirty minutes away, Sinaia an hour, Sighisoara two and a half hours, and the mountains start behind the town.\r\nWhat is the sign on the hill? | The BRASOV letters on Tampa mountain, in Hollywood style.
