Reviews for Bran Castle

(Translated by Google) A tourist trap. Nice castle, but nothing compared to the others you can visit. (Original) Trappola per turisti. Castello carino ma nulla in confronto agli altri che si possono visitare

Product: Bran Castle

An interesting spot, but ruinously overcrowded. Pre-booking a standard ticket seems to offer no benefit. The fast track is possibly worth the extra but doesn't stop the human conveyor once inside. ​While the castle itself is undeniably interesting, visiting in the height of summer felt less like a historic site and more like a crowded theme park, driven by greed as the owning family seems focused on maximising numbers and money above all else. The crowds were honestly worse than Versailles. ​It is sold as a "self-guided tour," but in reality, you don't get to set your own pace. Narrow corridors and tight staircases mean you are effectively propelled along by the constant pressure of the crowd pushing from behind. There is almost no chance to pause, take in a room, or read the information boards without feeling like you're holding up a human conveyor belt. ​On a positive note, nearby car parking was surprisingly cheap and convenient, but unfortunately, that was the easiest part of the trip. ​If you plan to visit, be prepared to feel rushed through tight spaces with very little breathing room.

(Translated by Google) We bought the Royal Pass ticket with fast track, unfortunately we entered faster, once lunch is all very stressful, you have to go in line, there are groups, individual people all together, very overwhelming. The visit as such is short, there are nothing special, there are some rooms upstairs "inspired by Dracula" where there is no ventilation and it is very overwhelming. The entrance opens up a small room with torture weapons and a "time tunnel" this last one is a monumental scam, you go down to a basement corridor where they present images with AI of old paintings, nothing special.... (Original) Vam comprar l’entrada Royal pass amb fast track, malhrat vam entrar mes rapid, un cop dina es tot molt estres, has d’anar en fila, hi ha grups, gent individual tots junts, molt agobiant. La visita com a tal es curta no te tes d’especial, hi ha unes habitacions a dalt “inspirades en dracula” on no hi ha ventilacio i agobia molt. L’entrada incoia una petita habitacio d’armes de tortura i un “tunel del temps” aquest ultim jna estafa monumental, vas a larar a un passadis-sotan on presenten imatges amb AI de quadres antics, res d’especial….

(Translated by Google) After waiting in line for over 1 hour, the castle was nothing special. (Original) След чакане на опашка над 1ч. Замъка на беше нищо особенно.

(Translated by Google) A must-see, well-preserved although I expected more to see, related to the real history of the people involved. Crowded every day. (Original) Visita obligada, bien conservado aunque esperaba algo más que ver, relacionado con la historia real de los personajes. Masificado a diario

We went on a tuesday. Through the whole castle we were walking in a tight line of people until the timetunnel spit us out into the garden. It was generally super crowded, which really lowered the experience for us. If we wound't have bought the fast lane tickets, we would've left before even entering the castle because of the immense line of people in front. The castle itself was nice but we felt hurried by all the tourists. Wouldn't recommend to people other than those who really like castles and medieval things.

(Translated by Google) A total rip-off! Almost two hours in line to get into the castle, and once inside you discover you're still queuing as if it were PortAventura. The castle itself is nothing special, and you could save your money on the entrance fee. (Original) Estafa histórica, casi dos horas de cola para entrar al castillo y una vez dentro descubres que durante la visita sigues haciendo cola como si fuese Port Aventura. El castillo en si no tiene nada de especial y el dinero de la entrada te lo puedes ahorrar.

(Translated by Google) Very crowded, which greatly reduces the desire to see the castle but also the possibility of stopping to look at the exhibits. All you want is for the tour to end faster to get out of the crowd. At the entrance there are 2 types of tickets without a guide - standard 90 RON and priority access 190 RON. With the standard ones you have to wait 2 hours to enter, with priority access you go up to the fortress without a queue, but in the fortress you enter the suffocating mixer of the crowd. It is clear that it is trying to be attractive, the courtyard is decorated with a few medieval stands, a few kiosks with snacks, but visiting at an industrial pace has largely destroyed the beauty of the castle (Original) Foarte aglomerat, ceea ce scade mult dorinta de a vedea castelul dar si posibilitatea de a te opri sa privesti exponatele. Tot ce vrei este sa se termine turul mai repede ca sa iesi din inghesuiala. La intrare sunt 2 tipuri de bilete fara ghid-standard 90 RON si acces prioritar 190RON. La cele standard se asteapta si 2 ore ca sa intri, la acces prioritar urci pana la cetate fara coada, dar in cetate intri in malaxorul sufocant al aglomeratiei. Se vede ca incearca sa fie atractiv, curtea amenajata cu cateva standuri medievale, cateva chioscuri cu gustari, dar vizitarea in ritm industrial a distrus in mare masura frumusetea castelului

(Translated by Google) Although the guided tour fee was exorbitant, I realized that visiting it empty-handed would be pointless. Definitely join a guided tour. We went early, so it wasn't crowded. The castle felt a bit cramped, it was a hot day, and the humidity was dripping down our faces; imagine what it would be like on a crowded day. (Original) Rehberli ücreti abartı olsa da bomboş gezmenin hiçbir anlamı olmayacağını düşündüğüm bir yer oldu. Kesinlikle rehberli tura katılın. Erken saatlerde gittik, kalabalık değildi. Kale biraz basık, sıcak bir gündü ve nem yüzümüzden aktı, kalabalık bir günde nasıl olur kim bilir.

(Translated by Google) Very long wait. You have to come after 3pm, because before then a long queue is guaranteed! (Original) Très longue attente. Il faut venir après 15h, car avant c'est une longue queue assurée !
