Nicely kept but as other people say, it is mostly its outside view which impresses most. The inside is ok but typical. The guide was great, though. And obviously hundreds of tourists.

The castle itself is interesting; some furniture is original, but most of pieces inside are props. The view is magnificent. But everything is so commercial, that you feel at Disneyland. We paid quite few bucks extra for "priority access" - there is no such thing and it cannot be, because there is only one continuous queue, from entrance to exit. That is a rip-off. And the queues are huge, so you better be there early in the morning. Another rip-off is access to "torture chanbers" - no matter what ticket you have, you'll have to wait in another queue and buy ANOTHER ticket.

(Translated by Google) The scenery and the building are beautiful, but the exhibition itself is all about 20th century Romanian history and the tale of Dracula. It's not worth the money. (Original) A táj és az épület szép, de maga a kiállitás nem szól másról mint a 20. századi román történelemről és Dracula meséjéről. Nem éri meg a pénzt.

The family and I had a great outing at Bran Castle! The Interiors of the castle itself are nothing different than other European medieval churches we've visited. What makes this Castle extraordinary are the gardens, which are absolutely beautiful, and there efforts for adding more additional experiential activities to truly get to know the culture of the castle and the region such as the supernatural exhibits and the time travel elevator. What I also appreciated was that it wasn't just about Vlad and the Dracula Legend, but it was about the entire history with a really nice focus on Queen Marie and her daughter. We were there during the summer and so they also had a really great medieval summer garden open with activities for all ages. We had lunch at the food kiosk which was both very good and nicely priced and we were able to buy souvenirs at the medieval fair. Leaving the castle, we took advantage to stroll through the market and have a coffee at A really lovely cafe along the main street. Our kids really enjoyed the visit and learning about the history!

(Translated by Google) Although the entrance fee is high and it is a very touristy castle, don't miss the torture exhibition. The elevator is also nice for an additional fee. At the end of the tour, you can enjoy a medieval festival in the castle gardens with demonstrations of ancient professions. (Original) אומנם מחיר הכניסה גבוה ומדובר בטירה מאוד תיירותית אבל לא לפספס את תערוכת העינויים. גם המעלית בתוספת תשלום נחמדה. בסוף הסיור אפשר ליהנות מפסטיבל ימי ביניים בשטח של גני הטירה עם הדגמות של מקצועות עתיקים

(Translated by Google) Nice to look at, but a total tourist trap. I've been there once, but I don't need to go back! (Original) Nett anzuschauen aber ein absoluter Touri Ort. War mal da, muss ich aber nicht wieder hin!

(Translated by Google) Tickets are extremely expensive for what they offer: 120 lei adult / 80 lei student for the standard ticket. Too much for the visit you get. The castle is small and cramped, and the passages between the rooms are very narrow. There is no limit to the number of people at the entrance — everyone enters at once, without grouping, which leads to long lines inside and an unbearable crowd. In terms of content, there is not much authentic stuff to see — most of the pieces seem to be just recreations/imitations, apart from the furniture. Nothing really impressive. The view from the outside is really beautiful, as is the outer area of the castle, but the crowded interior makes it impossible to enjoy visiting in peace. Overall, it was not worth the price of the ticket. (Original) Biletele sunt extrem de scumpe pentru ce oferă: 120 lei adult / 80 lei student pentru biletul standard. Prea mult pentru vizita pe care o primești. Castelul e mic și înghesuit, iar treceriile dintre camere sunt foarte strâmte. Nu există nicio limită de persoane la intrare — se intră toți deodată, fără grupare, ceea ce duce la cozi mari în interior și o aglomerație greu de suportat. Din punct de vedere al conținutului, nu prea sunt lucruri autentice de văzut — majoritatea pieselor par doar recreări/imitații, în afară de mobilier. Nimic cu adevărat impresionant. Priveliștea din exterior este într-adevăr frumoasă, la fel și zona exterioară a castelului, dar interiorul aglomerat face imposibilă bucuria de a vizita în liniște. Per total, nu a meritat prețul biletului.

(Translated by Google) The castle is beautiful, but you have to expect a lot of crowds! (Original) Szép a kastély, de számolni kell a nagy tolongásra!

(Translated by Google) Beware of the parking attendants, it's a scam; they don't accept cards, only cash. If you don't have Lei, they'll charge you a high price for Euros. Get some Lei before you go. (Original) Para tuzağı, otopark degnekcilerine dikkat, kart kabul etmiyorlar, nakit alıyorlar, lei yok ise euroyu yüksekten kakaliyorlar. Lei alıp öyle gidin
