(Translated by Google) Overrated. It takes a long time to get there and it's really a tourist trap, not worth the trip. (Original) Sobrevalorado. Se toma mucho tiempo para llegar y en realidad.es un tinagus no vale la pena
If you're into history this is a must.
For centuries, it hath been the deepest longing of my soul to journey unto this wondrous fortress. The great castle, the noble folk, and the very air of this place did leave me utterly struck with awe! We did secure our passage beforehand by means of the magic glass. I did descend into the dark torture chambers, and the hidden vaults beneath the earth were most spectacular to behold. A vast tapestry of history is woven into these stones; they have even raised a bustling settlement outside the castle walls, where bold knights do clash in training and master blacksmiths strike their anvils. If ever thy travels lead thee through the lands of Romania, thou must make pilgrimage here at least once. Though our horse and carriage did encounter great congestion on the road toward Brașov, the trial was well rewarded. This mighty stronghold holdeth far grander tales and history than that of the Voivode, Vlad the Impaler, alone.
