Reviews for Bran Castle

Product: Bran Castle

Very disappointed. From the movies I thought it was a large castle on top of a mountain and a little scary but the reality is , it is a museum. Also it's very small! In my opinion it doesn't worth the $20 entry fee!

(Translated by Google) A sacred place. I'm surprised by opinions like "not worth it," "overrated"... blah, blah, blah. Atmospheric castle, great exhibitions, I recommend it. (Original) Święte miejsce . Dziwią mnie opinie typu nie warto , przereklamowane … ble ble ble . Klimatyczny zamek , fajne wystawy , polecam .

(Translated by Google) It's very beautiful, both inside and out. BUT: For the price, a proper entrance ticket would be nice. There are few information panels, and there's no information or pictures about Dracula/Vlad Tepes at all. Unless you pay for an overpriced audio guide. Just silly animations. That's a real shame. There's an additional fee for two extra sections. Otherwise, it's very touristy with lots of market stalls, but that's to be expected in a tourist hotspot. (Original) Das ist sehr schön, von außen und von innen. ABER: Für den Preis wäre eine richtige Eintrittskarte schön. Es gibt wenig Infotafeln, zu Dracula/Vlad Tepes gibt es gar keine Informationen und keine Bilder oder ähnliches. Es sei denn man zahlt für einen überteuerten Audioguide. Nur alberne Animationen. Das ist sehr sehr schade und traurig. Zusätzl7che Gebühr für 2 extra Abschnitte. Ansonsten sehr touristisch mit vielen Marktständen, aber das ist eben ein Touristen Hotspot.

(Translated by Google) A total tourist trap; it's sad what's become of such a beautiful historical place. Disneyland for the poor (er, rich, it's expensive). It looks lovely from the outside, it's free, and you can get so much more for your money elsewhere! (Original) Maximale Touristenfalle, traurig was aus so einem schönen historischen Ort gemacht geworden ist. Disneyland für arme. (äh, reiche, ist teuer). Von außen sehr schön, kostenlos und für das Geld bekommt man anderswo deutlich mehr geboten!

This incredible castle was completed in 1388 features 57 timbered rooms connected by secret passages, narrow winding stairways and a rich collection of furniture, weapons and armor dating from the 14th to the 19th centuries. Bran Castle is often associated with the fictional vampire Count Dracula. The Romanian castle resembles Castle Dracula, as described in Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula (1897) in that both stand on rocky precipices and command spectacular views. But Stoker, an Irish writer, is not known to have ever visited Transylvania. Moreover Vlad the Impaler (Vlad III Dracula) who is the historical personage most closely identified with Stoker’s Dracula never ruled Bran Castle although some sources claim that he was held prisoner there for two months. Vlad's grandson of Mircea the Old was a 15th-century voivode of Walachia. Our tickets included the 'Time Tunnel' elevator which was built inside the castle's 17th-century 59-meter deep well shaft. It transported us from the courtyard down to a 30-meter-long tunnel featuring a 100% Romanian-designed multimedia projection show with themes of history, ghosts, and fire ending in the Royal Park. Bran castle only welcomes a limited number of visitors each day so buying tickets in advance is highly recommended.

A bit underwhelming to be honest. Felt a bit 'fake' or like a museum instead of being a historic piece.

(Translated by Google) A castle that commands a very high price. For 40 euros you can see everything. Mass tourism. (Original) Ein Schloss was sich sehr gut bezahlen lässt. Für 40 Euro darf man sich alles anschauen. Massentourismus .

I fully recommend coming here if you enjoy a good spooky story, and lots of history. The castle is accessible by car and even by bus. The grounds themselves are very beautiful. They’re large and have a nice scenic pond. The entrance is easy to get to, but you do have to go through some outdoor shops where they offer lots of souvenirs. They have ATMs available if need be. Once you arrive at the grounds, the walk to the castle is easy if you’re in relatively good shape. If not, just take your time. Once you’re to the top you will be greeted by the open door beckoning you into the castle. We really enjoyed our time in the castle! It’s expansive and the rooms are decorated nicely. The information signs do have English and other languages. We loved the outdoor area at the top of the castle which shows you a birds eye view of the surrounding village. You also get to walk through a fun “monster” type of room with information about urban legends and some fun lights. At the end you can also sit down in the courtyard area of the castle and can take some nice photos and enjoy the beauty of the castle. They do have a gift shop once you leave if you want to buy something. Overall, we really enjoyed the beautiful nature surrounding the castle and the history of the castle itself! Definitely stop by if you can.
