We piled into his tiny red Opel Corsa for the nearly three hour drive . Ruins of Poienari Castle can be found in a rugged , isolated area of Romania . 15th - century leader Vlad Dracula lived here , and tourists are sparse . More tourists go to the castle , which is intact but had little connection with Dracula .
