Royal Park is a landscaped leisure area located in the village of Bran, adjacent to the historic Bran Castle. The park features manicured green lawns, paved walkways, and direct views of the medieval castle fortifications.

The park is designed for pedestrian relaxation and serves as a vantage point for landscape photography of the Transylvanian countryside. It is situated along the major arterial road passing through the Bran-Zărnești corridor.
The central paved pathway facing the castle provides the most unobstructed vertical view of the main tower.
