Reviews for Bran Castle

Product: Bran Castle

(Translated by Google) A complete disappointment. The castle is beautiful inside and out, with a typical German castle style. It's been overexploited by Dracula marketing. It's a complete fabrication. Dracula didn't live here, nor is it related to any ancient legend. The place is overcrowded, and there's no control over the number of visitors. You have to queue to move from one room to another, fight for the views, and there are at least 30 people crammed onto a small balcony. The torture chamber and the time tunnel are basic and not worth the price. If you want to see the torture chamber, it's just torture devices on display. The time tunnel consists of several videos; I don't recommend it at all. It's very expensive and offers nothing. Is it beautiful? Yes. Is it worth it? For the price and the overcrowding, no. Romania has better castles at more affordable prices. For the sake of your wallet and your patience, avoid this castle. (Original) Una decepción completamente. El castillo es bonito por fuera y por dentro. Con un estilo de típico castillo alemán. Está sobreexplotado por el marketing de Drácula. Realmente es una mentira. Drácula no vivió aquí, ni está relacionado con una leyenda antigua. El lugar está masificado, el aforo no se controla. Debes hacer filas para pasar de una sala a otra, luchar por ver las vistas, habiendo en un pequeño balcón un mínimo de 30 personas juntas. La sala de torturas y el túnel del tiempo son sencillos, no valen lo que se cobra. Si quieres ver la sala de torturas, son herramientas de tortura expuestas. El túnel del tiempo son varios vídeos, no lo recomiendo para nada. Muy caro y no te ofrece nada. ¿Es bonito? Sí. ¿Vale la pena? Por el precio y la masificación no. Rumanía tiene mejores castillos y a un precio más asequible. Por el bien de su bolsillo y paciencia, evite este castillo.

I was impressed! We booked a guided tour. We've got a slot time and the guide came and picked us up from the front entrance. He was very nice and provided a lot of informations mixing history with jokes and rumors about Dracula's stories connected with the castle. The castle very well organised and maintained with a lot of nice staff on the way. Very nice day spent there!

(Translated by Google) During our European trip, we visited Bran Castle in Romania for the first time. It's primarily marketed as "Dracula's Castle," although historically it has little connection to Dracula or Vlad III Drăculea. The association is mainly a tourist marketing ploy. Around the castle is a lovely park with several stalls, some offering very affordable prices. However, in our opinion, the entrance fee for the castle itself is too high, especially when compared to Corvin Castle, for example. The tour is over in about 30 minutes, even if you visit the unnecessary special exhibition. Unfortunately, there isn't even an audio guide or anything similar. The castle itself is very beautiful and has a romantic charm. However, due to the high entrance fee, we can only recommend a visit with reservations. If you want to visit an impressive castle in Romania, we would recommend Corvin Castle instead. (August 2026) (Original) Wir waren während unserer Europareise zum ersten Mal im Schloss Bran in Rumänien. Es wird vor allem als „Dracula-Schloss“ vermarktet, obwohl das Schloss historisch nur wenig mit Dracula bzw. Vlad III. Drăculea zu tun hat. Die Verbindung wird hauptsächlich touristisch vermarktet. Rund um das Schloss gibt es einen schönen Park mit einigen Buden, die teilweise sehr erschwingliche Preise haben. Der Eintrittspreis für das Schloss selbst ist unserer Meinung nach jedoch zu hoch, insbesondere wenn man das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis z.B. mit der Burg Corvin vergleicht. Der Rundgang ist bereits nach ungefähr 30 Minuten beendet, selbst wenn man die unnötige Sonderausstellung besucht. Es gibt leider nichtmal einen Audioguide o.Ä. Das Schloss selbst ist jedoch sehr schön und besitzt einen romantischen Charme. Aufgrund des hohen Eintrittspreises können wir einen Besuch allerdings nur eingeschränkt empfehlen. Wer in Rumänien eine beeindruckende Burg besichtigen möchte, dem würden wir eher die Burg Corvin empfehlen. (August 2026)

(Translated by Google) No connection whatsoever with Dracula, very disappointed, nothing exceptional in the castle, nothing authentic, and to access the torture chamber you have to add €6, express visit, a tourist trap. (Original) Aucun rapport avec Dracula rien, très déçu rien d'exceptionnel dans le château rien d'authentique et pour accéder à la chambre des tortures il faut rajouter 6€ visite express un attrape touriste.

(Translated by Google) The castle boasts a beautiful location. The castle itself isn't as spectacular as I expected, or as the marketing had led me to believe. The visit is worthwhile, perhaps a little crowded, but it's definitely worth a look. The views are spectacular, offering stunning vistas of the Carpathian Mountains. (Original) Castillo con un emplazamiento precioso. El castillo en si no es tan espectacular como pensaba o la mercadotecnia me había hecho creer. La visita está bien, quizás un poco saturada de gente, pero merece la pena echarlo un vistazo. Las vistas son espectaculares, divisando unas hermosas vistas de los Cárpatos.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful castle and short visit. The ticket cost is 100lei for a simple visit without the torture chamber. I think the cost is overpriced because it includes an indifferent attraction about Dracula, who in the form we know him is a fictional character based on Bram Stoker's book. Nevertheless, it is a special and beautiful castle. (Original) Όμορφο κάστρο και σύντομη επίσκεψη. Το κόστος του εισιτηρίου είναι 100lei η απλή επίσκεψη χωρίς τον θάλαμο βασανιστηρίων. Θεωρώ πως είναι υπερτιμημένο το κόστος επειδή περιλαμβάνει μια αδιάφορη attraction για τον Δράκουλα, ο οποίος με την μορφή που τον ξέρουμε είναι φανταστικό πρόσωπο βασισμένο στο βιβλίο του Μπραμ Στόκερ. Παρόλα αυτά είναι ιδιαίτερο και Όμορφο κάστρο.
