(Translated by Google) Extremely disappointing. I absolutely do not recommend it, especially considering the price: very crowded, little explanation, minimal decor, and not even any Dracula-themed activities. (Original) Plus que decevant. Je ne le recommande pas du tout surtout vu le prix: beaucoup de monde, peu d’explication, peu de décor et même pas d’animations autour de Dracula

(Translated by Google) $53 per person, a total rip-off! My husband and I have been traveling the world for about seven years, and this is the worst and most expensive experience of our lives. Completely disappointed. Other castles in Romania are cheaper and better preserved; they're much more worthwhile. A word of advice: if you want to go inside, don't pay for the premium package. Just pay the general admission price. If you think it's interesting, you can pay for the extras inside. P.S.: The people who work there have a terrible attitude. They treat you like you're ignorant. This castle is overrated because of the movie's marketing. (Original) 53 dólares por persona, un robo total! Mi esposo y yo viajamos por el mundo aproximadamente 7 años y esta es la peor y la más cara experiencia de nuestras vidas. Totalmente decepcionada, otros castillos en Rumania son más baratas y mejor conservadas valen más la pena. Un consejo quieres entrar no pagues el paquete premium. Solo paga la entrada general, si crees que es interesante para ti, pagas dentro los adicionales. Pos data: las personas que trabajan en este lugar tienen mala actitud. Te tratan como si fueras ignorante. Este castillo está sobre valorado por el marketing de la película.

After a month in Europe this was the WORST place we visited. The castle is a waste of time and money. People that work here are miserable and treat you like you are an idiot if you ask a question. Also it is very disorganized. Don’t recommend!! It was $106 for one hour

(Translated by Google) Beautiful castle, but impossible to visit due to the extreme crowds. On a Monday, we waited an hour to be allowed inside. Then we walked through the castle at a snail's pace in a long line of tourists. The situation inside was unsafe due to the crowds. My advice is to take a photo outside and leave. (Original) Mooi kasteel maar niet te doen door de extreme drukte. Op een maandag hebben we een uur gewacht om naar binnen te mogen. Vervolgens in een lange slang van toeristen stapvoets door het kasteel. Onveilige situatie binnen door de drukte. Advies buiten een foto maken en weer weg gaan.

(Translated by Google) €30 is too much, but as a student it's okay. Well done, medieval boys. (Original) 30€ sono troppi, da studente è ok Bravi i regaz del medioevo

(Translated by Google) €24-€30 for this isn't worth it. It lives off the Dracula myth and has nothing to do with it. Very disappointing and incredibly crowded. Your entry time doesn't matter; it's just to prevent everyone from arriving at the same time, and even then, there's a huge queue. (Original) 24€-30€ por esto no vale la pena. Vive del mito de Drácula y no tiene nada que ver. Muy decepcionante y muchísima gente. La hora de tu entrada no importa, solo es para que no vaya todo el mundo a la vez y aún así hay muchísima cola

(Translated by Google) Absolutely gorgeous. You have moments when you feel like you are part of the landscape and the story. (Original) Absolut superb. Ai momente cand simti ca faci parte din peisaj si din poveste.

Beautiful castle from the outside, but unfortunately very disappointing overall. Waiting times were 30–60+ minutes even on a weekday, and the booking system was terrible with heavily overbooked time slots. Inside, there were so many people that it was impossible to move around freely and enjoy the castle.

(Translated by Google) Very bad. The castle looks great from the outside. Inside, it's rather shabby and bland. The connection to Vlad Tepes and Bram Stoker is pure marketing. But the worst thing is how overcrowded it is. The queue to get in is unbelievable, and the queues inside are even longer. It's a tourist trap. (Original) Muy mal. El castillo por fuera es muy chulo. Por dentro tirando a cutre y soso. La relación con Vlad Tepes y con Bram Stoker es puro marketing publicitario. Pero lo peor de todo es lo masificado que está. Es increíble la cola que hay para entrar, y las colas que se haven dentro. Trampa para turistas.

(Translated by Google) Bran Castle is undoubtedly one of the most unique and evocative places to visit during a trip to Romania. Its location, perched on a rock and surrounded by the Transylvanian mountains, makes it truly spectacular even from the outside. The route to the castle is also pleasant and allows you to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere. The visit was particularly interesting, especially for the atmosphere inside. The castle is characterized by many rooms, small corridors, narrow staircases, and passageways that make the tour quite intriguing and never completely predictable. Some rooms are very evocatively furnished and contribute to the mysterious atmosphere for which Bran is famous. Of course, there's a reference to the legend of Dracula, which is probably why so many people know this place. Although the connection to the character of Dracula is largely rooted in legend and popular imagination, visiting with this curiosity in mind makes the experience even more enjoyable. The view from the castle's windows and vantage points is also beautiful, with the surrounding green landscape and mountains. It's definitely one of those places worth stopping just to take a few photos and enjoy the view. The area around the castle is quite touristy, with numerous shops, stalls, and bars to stop at after your visit. I recommend spending a few hours in the area, not just stopping at the castle entrance. Overall, it was a pleasant and certainly different visit. You don't have to be a history buff to appreciate it: the architecture, location, atmosphere, and especially the legend of Dracula make Bran Castle an interesting and unique stop. If you're visiting Transylvania, I think it's definitely worth including it in your itinerary. (Original) Il Castello di Bran è sicuramente uno dei luoghi più particolari e suggestivi da visitare durante un viaggio in Romania. La sua posizione, arroccato sulla roccia e circondato dalle montagne della Transilvania, lo rende davvero scenografico già dall’esterno. Anche il percorso per arrivare al castello è piacevole e permette di immergersi completamente nell’atmosfera del luogo. La visita è stata molto interessante soprattutto per l’ambiente che si respira all’interno. Il castello è caratterizzato da tante stanze, piccoli corridoi, scale strette e passaggi che rendono il percorso abbastanza curioso e mai completamente scontato. Alcuni ambienti sono arredati in modo molto suggestivo e contribuiscono a creare quella particolare atmosfera misteriosa per cui Bran è famoso. Ovviamente non può mancare il riferimento alla leggenda di Dracula, che è probabilmente il motivo per cui moltissime persone conoscono questo posto. Anche se il legame con il personaggio di Dracula è in gran parte legato alla leggenda e all'immaginario popolare, visitarlo con questa curiosità in mente rende l’esperienza ancora più divertente. Molto bella anche la vista che si può ammirare dalle finestre e dai punti panoramici del castello, con il paesaggio verde e le montagne intorno. È sicuramente uno di quei posti in cui vale la pena fermarsi anche solo per scattare qualche foto e godersi il panorama. La zona intorno al castello è abbastanza turistica, con numerosi negozi, bancarelle e locali dove fermarsi dopo la visita. Consiglio di dedicare qualche ora alla zona, senza limitarsi solamente all’ingresso del castello. Nel complesso, è stata una visita piacevole e sicuramente diversa dal solito. Non è necessario essere appassionati di storia per apprezzarlo: l’architettura, la posizione, l’atmosfera e soprattutto la leggenda di Dracula rendono il Castello di Bran una tappa interessante e particolare. Se si visita la Transilvania, secondo me vale assolutamente la pena inserirlo nel proprio itinerario.
