Reviews for Bran Castle

Timed tickets were a joke, still had to queue 90min+ to get in. I can't review the castle interior because I couldn't see it. It was totally overcrowded. They should cap the amount of tickets. Don't visit on a Monday in August. I can't understand the amount of 5 star reviews. I was in such a bad mood I couldn't enjoy it at all. Management try to upsell you a 70lei skip-the-line ticket, but you'll be having the same experience of queuing to access each room of the castle. Enshittification at its finest. Siniai castles a much better experience.

Anticipating our arrival at the castle was so exciting, and the surrounding area was lively and full of energy. The climb up was a bit of a workout, but entirely rewarding. Inside, a queue of visitors moved along at a relaxed pace, and we went right with the flow. ​The castle itself is beautiful and tastefully restored, complete with charming little mazes that made the visit a wonderful experience. ​A fantastic bonus after the tour was heading down to the gardens for a stunning nature walk, which led us right into a picturesque medieval-style market. My child loved riding a pony, live music was playing in the background, and it was the perfect spot to sit back, enjoy some delicious meat, and sip a cold beer.

(Translated by Google) The only place I liked in Romania; if you have the time, you should definitely go. (Original) Romanya da tek beğendiğim yer vaktiniz varsa mutlaka gidin

(Translated by Google) The castle, the furnishings and the park are impressive, but the crowds of people (on a Monday and despite time slots!) spoil the enjoyment of the visit. (Original) Das Schloss, die Einrichtung und auch der Park sind beeindruckend, aber die Massen an Menschen (an einem Montag und trotz Zeit-Slots!) verderben einem die Freude am Besuch.

(Translated by Google) Visited on August 17th with a standard ticket purchased online. An hour and a half queue to get in, which was a chore for every attraction, and then moving from room to room. It's not worth the price; it's a tourist trap, and the greed of those managing it ensures they let in more people than necessary. Considering that Stoker never came here, Coppola never came, and Vlad III of Wallachia visited a couple of times, if it weren't so expensive, I'd have a laugh. A beautiful medieval castle. (Original) Visitato il 17 agosto, con biglietto standard comprato online. Un'ora e mezza di fila per entrare, cosa davanti ad ogni attrazione e passaggio da una stanza all'altra. Non vale il prezzo del biglietto, è una trappola per turisti e l'ingordigia di chi lo gestisce fa si che vengano fatte entrare più persone del dovuto. Considerando che Stoker qui non è mai venuto, Coppola nemmeno e che Vlad III di Valacchia ci è passato un paio di volte, se non fosse così caro mi farei due risate. Un bel castello medievale.

We need more legitimate people reviewing this place! Please read this until the end, I hope it'll be useful. Booking system is terrible, allowing overbooking with infinite queue lane. Don't waste your time here, the Sinaia castle is definitely much better. Between my first pic and the last almost 1hr of queuing.. If you book a restaurant for lunch at 2pm and when you arrive the waitress tells you that the tables are all full and you have to wait 2 hrs, will you be happy? They trickly allow you to "upgreade" your tickets for 70 lei to access to the fast lane... Updated review after visiting the castle: if you get rid of "Dracula" from its name, I'll become a "regular" castle. I walked into the rooms with lots of people, plus TWO, TWO groups of tour giude inside... it was insane! Rooms were crowded and stinky as well! The fourth picture shows the amount of people inside the castle. The last picture shows how this castle is rate so high, 4.3 stars? These two are probably fake reviews, written be the staff members, by creating an account on purpose. So, what I see here, two people just reviewed for their first time of their life this place, rating it 5 stars without adding any comment????

Overpriced, overrated, overcrowded and overexploited. You probably won’t listen anyway, but this tourist trap is really not worth standing in the queue for 2 hrs or more.

(Translated by Google) The castle is spectacular and well-preserved. You can tour a large number of rooms with original furniture and accessories from different eras. Information is available in Romanian and English. I visited the exhibit of objects used against enemies, which are incredible. The Time Tunnel is also worth a visit, though it's not essential. Surrounding the castle are beautiful, well-maintained gardens with displays of traditional crafts. The downside was visiting on Sunday, August 16th. Even though I had bought my ticket online, it was too crowded to enjoy the tour in peace. There needs to be better accessibility control; the visit is unpleasant under these conditions. (Original) El castillo es espectacular y bien conservado. Se puede hacer el recorrido por un gran número de estancias con muebles originales y accesorios de distintas épocas. Existen informaciones en rumano e inglés. He hecho la visita de los objetos que utilizaban contra los enemigos, que son increíbles. También la visita del Túnel del tiempo, es un entrenamiento prescindible. Alrededor hay unos bonitos y cuidados jardines con exhibición de oficios artesanales de la antigüedad. Lo malo fue hacer la visita en domingo 16 de agosto que, aunque teniendo la compra de la entrada por internet, había demasiada gente para hacer la visita con tranquilidad. Falta más control de accesibilidad, la visita así se hace desagradable.

(Translated by Google) Very expensive for what it is, the capacity is insane. They advertise it as Dracula's Castle, but it really wasn't. Designed to make money. They also offer two extra screens if you pay more. The screenings are awful. (Original) Muy caro para lo que es, el aforo es una locura. Lo venden como el Castillo de Drácula pero en realidad no lo fue. Pensado para facturar. Además te ofrecen dos salas extras si pagas más. Hay unas proyecciones cutres.
