Bran castle is quite a special visit. The location and the myth is superb. The fact that it wasn't Vlads actual castle is a let down. But it was the inspiration for the film so all in all a good visit. Quite a basic castle but worth a visit none the less. Get ready for a climb up the hill and loads of steps.

Dracula Castle in Bran is a stunning place to visit—full of history, atmosphere, and iconic architecture. The rooms, passages, and towers create a truly mystical feeling. A must-see landmark for anyone exploring Romania.

If you buy the guided tour from the official website, try to get to the guide Sebastian (English tour). He made the day, was absolutely satisfied with the tour, though was initially pessimistic about the castle, knowing it has no connection to Vlad Impaler. Very enjoyable tour. Such employees as Sebastian shall be well promoted.

(Translated by Google) Given the previous reviews, I was already expecting to end up in a tourist trap. I actually loved the castle! I didn't have to wait in line at the entrance and was able to read so many interesting descriptions at my leisure, especially about Queen Maria. The castle is breathtaking, especially from the outside! "Dracula" is one of my favorite novels, and I imagined the count's castle looking exactly like this from the outside! Okay, the author has never been to Bran, but the atmosphere was exactly like the book. I also liked the interiors: simple but well-kept. The rooms dedicated to the typical monsters of Romanian culture are also cute; perhaps some are a little childish, but if it's meant to entertain children, that's fine. It's true, there's a lot of marketing surrounding the Dracula story, but in my opinion, this castle is still worth a visit. The only flaw is the excessive number of noisy tourists, especially Italians 😜. (Original) Viste le recensioni precedenti, ero partita pervenuta, pronta a finire in una trappola per turisti. In realtà il castello mi è piaciuto tantissimo! Non ho fatto nessuna fila all'ingresso e ho potuto leggere con calma tantissime descrizioni interessanti, soprattutto sulla regina Maria. Il castello poi è mozzafiato, specialmente da fuori! "Dracula" è uno dei miei romanzi preferiti, e il castello del conte me lo immaginavo esattamente così dallesterno! Poi ok, lo scrittore non è mai stato a Bran, ma l'atmosfera era proprio quella del libro. Anche gli interni mi sono piaciuti, semplici ma ben tenuti. Carine anche le stanze dedicate ai mostri tipici della cultura rumena, forse alcune un po' infantili, ma se serve per divertire anche i bambini va bene così. È vero, c'è molto marketing sulla storia di Dracula, ma secondo me questo castello vale comunque una visita. L'unica pecca sono i troppi turisti rumorosi, soprattutto italiani 😜.

It's a castle but nothing special about it for the price we payed (19 euro pp). The history behind it its interesting but that's all. If you go early better than after 11 am because that's when tours starts. Outside the castle there is a little market of souvenirs and stuff.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, I will agree with those who call it a tourist trap - and not without reason. We thought we would see an authentic medieval castle, but the exhibits, in addition to being unrelated to each other (with few references to Vlad the Impaler, to whom the castle is supposedly dedicated), resemble a horror movie set, very staged. Some parts are dangerous, for example, the ceiling drops very sharply or there are stairs inside the rooms for which there is no warning. Also, be careful of the stairs from the ground floor to the upper floors, it is steep and very crowded. If you want to enter the torture chamber, you have to pay extra, otherwise the ticket costs about 20€, which I think is not worth it for what you will see. The only positive thing is that it has a nice view from the upper floors, as well as shops with delicious snacks outside the castle. My opinion is that if you visit it, you should prefer to tour the exteriors only. (Original) Δυστυχώς θα συμφωνήσω με όσους το αποκαλούν tourist trap-και όχι άδικα. Πιστεύαμε οτι θα δουμε ενα αυθεντικό μεσαιωνικό κάστρο αλλά τα εκθέματα, πέραν του οτι ειναι άσχετα μεταξυ τους (με ελάχιστες αναφορές στον Βλαντ Τσέπες στον οποίο υποτίθεται ειναι αφιερωμένο το κάστρο) θυμίζουν σκηνικό ταινίας τρόμου, πολύ στημένο. Ορισμένα σημεία ειναι επικίνδυνα, πχ το ταβανι χαμηλώνει πολυ απότομα ή εχει σκαλακια μεσα στους χώρους για τα οποία δεν υπάρχει καμία προειδοποίηση. Επισης προσοχη στη σκάλα απο το ισόγειο για τους πανω ορόφους, ειναι απότομη και εχει πολυ συνωστισμό. Αν θελετε να μπείτε στην αίθουσα βασανιστηριων πρεπει να πληρώσετε έξτρα, αλλιως το εισιτήριο αντιστοιχεί σε περίπου 20€ που θεωρώ δεν αξίζουν για αυτα που θα δειτε. Το μονο θετικό ειναι οτι εχει ωραια θεα στους πανω ορόφους, καθώς και μαγαζια με νόστιμα σνακ εξω απο το κάστρο. Γνώμη μου ειναι αν το επισκεφτείτε να προτιμήσετε να περιηγηθείτε στους εξωτερικούς χώρους μόνο.

(Translated by Google) Expensive and not worth it! Not worth it! See Peles, Pelisor, Huniazilor Castle. (Original) Caro y poca cosa! No vale la pena! Ver Peles, Pelisor, Castillo Huniazilor.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful views, but there's nothing interesting inside, just narrow spaces furnished with period furniture. The route is so strangely laid out that I, along with several others, couldn't figure out where to go. I think it was designed that way to extend the visit, as there's so little to see. The only interesting things are frivolous and meaningless projections. (Original) Bellissimi panorami, ma all'interno non c'è nulla di interessante da vedere, solo spazi stretti e arredati con mobilia dell'epoca. Il percorso è costruito in un modo talmente strano che io e più persone non capivamo dove andare, credo fatto in quel modo per allungare il tempo di visita in quanto c'è veramente poco da vedere. Le uniche cose particolari sono solo delle proiezioni frivole e senza senso.

(Translated by Google) My experience was not good at all. We went on an organized tour. They drop you off at the castle and tell you that you can use an audio guide, which is very poor. The castle interior is quite uninteresting. The stairs are very narrow and you have to go up and down them. It has a small inner courtyard and some rooms that are sparsely decorated. I think they should develop it in a different way. There's a green area around it with fast food places and a few restaurants. In spring, the area will be very beautiful and inviting. But for me, the interior isn't worth the expensive entrance fee. (Original) Mi experiencia no fue nada buena Íbamos con una excursión organizada. Te dejan en el castillo y te dicen que puedes ponerte una audio guía. La cual es pobre. El castillo por dentro poco tiene que ver. Las escaleras muy muy estrechas y las cuales son de subir y bajar. Tiene un pequeño patio interior y unas habitaciones las cuales tienen poc decoración. Creo que deberían de explotarlo de otra manera. Tiene alrededor una zona verde y sitios de comida rápida y algún restaurante. En primavera estará la zona muy bonita y acogedora. Pero el interior para mí no merece la pena pagar lo cara que es la entrada

(Translated by Google) Really a waste of time guys, it's not what you imagine, it's purely a marketing ploy around all this.... It was really a shame (Original) Πραγματικά χάσιμο χρόνου παιδιά δεν είναι όπως το φαντάζεστε είναι καθαρά ένα μάρκετινγκ γύρω από ολλο αυτό.... Πραγματικά έινα αίσχος
