Dracula Land

A resort of over one billion euro is planned at Gherghița, between Bucharest and Ploiești: six themed lands, more than forty attractions, an arena for 22,500 people and three hotels. Construction had been announced for September 2026 but has not been publicly confirmed as started, and the opening target of 2027 remains the developer's ambition. Nothing is bookable yet. This site follows the project until it is.

The ticket question, answered honestly

There is no Dracula Land ticket. Not sold out, not on waiting list — it does not exist.

The park has not been built yet, so no box office and no reseller has anything to sell. If a site offers you Dracula Land tickets today, it is selling a tour of something else, or nothing at all. When tickets do appear, they will almost certainly show up in two places at once: the park's own booking system, and the large resellers that already cover Bucharest and sell every other attraction in the city.

That is the reason the link on this page points to the Bucharest listing rather than to a product page. It is where the park's tickets are expected to surface, and in the meantime it is a fair picture of what you can actually book in the area right now.

The full picture of what a ticket is likely to cost, which types to expect and where sales will open is on the Dracula Land tickets and prices page.

What is being built

A theme park is only part of it — the plan is a resort with a park at the centre.

Component	Announced scale	What it means
Theme park	6 lands, 40+ attractions	The core of the resort
Arena	22,500 seats	Concerts and esports events
Hotels	3 themed, about 1,200 rooms	Built for multi-day stays
Water park	With thermal spa	Year-round, weather independent
Outlet mall	70+ brands	Shopping alongside the park
Motorsport circuit	4.5 km	Separate draw from the rides

The whole site covers about 780,000 square metres. The developer is Romanian businessman Dragoș Dobrescu, and the money is private rather than public. The projections quoted with the announcement are more than three million visitors a year and over 5,000 direct and indirect jobs, with an economic impact above five billion euro over a decade.

The project is written in several ways online: Dracula Land, DraculaLand, Dracula Park, or simply «the Dracula theme park in Romania». They all mean the same resort at Gherghița. There is no other Dracula park under construction anywhere in Romania.

Where it is and how you would get there

Closer to the airport than to the city centre — which is the whole idea.

The site sits roughly twenty minutes from Bucharest and about fifteen minutes from Otopeni, the international airport that handles almost all traffic into the country. For a European visitor that means the resort is reachable without ever entering the city: land, drive out, check into one of the hotels on site.

It also explains the scale of the hotel plan. A park that depends on day visitors from a single capital does not need 1,200 rooms; a park positioned as a short-break destination for the whole region does. Whether the flight connections follow is the open question — that is what will decide if the projections hold.

The timeline, and how firm it is

Announced for 2027. As of autumn 2026 no construction has been publicly confirmed.

Stage	Announced	Status
Zoning plan (PUZ)	Approval expected in the first half of 2026	No public confirmation of approval
Construction start	September 2026, per the town hall in late 2025	Not confirmed as started
Opening	2027, from the launch materials	Developer's target, no month given
Ticket sales	Not announced	Usually opens a few months before a park opens

A billion-euro build with hotels, an arena and a water park has more ways to slip than a single park, and a project that has not visibly broken ground cannot open the following year. Treat 2027 as the ambition, not as a date to plan a trip around. The detailed reading of every announcement is on the opening date page.

What there is around Bucharest in the meantime

The region is not short of things to do while the park is being built.

The city itself

Bucharest carries the Palace of the Parliament, the old town and a museum density most visitors underestimate — enough for a long weekend before you ever leave the city.

Transylvania

The castles and fortified churches the Dracula story actually borrowed from are a few hours north, and they are open all year.

Thermal baths

Large thermal complexes sit just outside the capital, close to the airport — the same logic of building near Otopeni that the resort is following.

All of it is bookable today through the Bucharest listing, which is also the page to watch: when Dracula Land goes on sale, that is where it will appear alongside everything else in the area.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy Dracula Land tickets yet?

No. The park has not been built and no ticket exists anywhere, at any price. A site offering Dracula Land tickets today is selling something else, usually a tour of the real castles in Transylvania.

When does Dracula Land open?

The developer's target is 2027. As of autumn 2026 there is no public confirmation that construction has started, so the date should be read as an ambition rather than a schedule.

Where exactly is Dracula Land?

At Gherghița in Prahova county, Romania, next to the A3 motorway between Bucharest and Ploiești. The developer quotes about 20 minutes from Bucharest and 15 from Otopeni airport; by road it is nearer 40 to 50 minutes from the city centre.

What will the resort contain?

Six themed lands with more than forty attractions, an arena seating 22,500, three hotels, a water park with thermal spa, an outlet with over seventy brands and a 4.5 kilometre motorsport circuit.

Who is building it?

A privately funded project led by Romanian businessman Dragoș Dobrescu with co-founder George Toader, with an announced investment of more than one billion euro.

Where will tickets be sold?

Most likely through the park's own box office and the large resellers that already cover Bucharest. Until then the Bucharest listing shows what is actually bookable in the area, including the real Dracula's Castle at Bran.
