(Translated by Google) If you love castles, this would certainly be a nice one to add to your list. Opt for a slightly more expensive ticket and you will get access to areas where others don't go. Enjoy the surroundings, and let's be honest, it is small. The courtyard is cozy. Wherever the opportunity arises, I will definitely get this again, and I highly recommend it to others. (Original) Wanneer je van Kastelen houdt, dan zou dit zeker een leuke zijn op het lijstje. Kies voor een uets duurdere kaartje en je komt in ruimtes waar anderen niet komen. Geniet van de omgeving en eerlijk is eerlijk, het is klein. Binnenplaats is knus. Waar daar de gelegenheid is zal ik deze nogmaals bezorgen en een aanrader voor een ander.

(Translated by Google) At the castle entrance, you can pay in cash or at the ticket machines. Afterward, a ramp leads directly to the main gate. There are restrooms for women before entering, and for men upstairs (these are also accessible after your visit). The interior is beautifully themed, with armor, shields, and period costumes creating a truly authentic medieval atmosphere. The tour involves going up and down stairs, exploring different rooms, terraces, and viewpoints. Highlights include the Coffin Room, rooms with audiovisual projections, and a terrace with breathtaking views of the surrounding area. There is a Torture Chamber (optional entry, additional fee) that is well worth visiting: it displays more than 30 different torture instruments, all very well presented and explained. There is also the Time Tunnel, another optional experience with an additional fee. Access is via an elevator located opposite the well in the inner courtyard. The descent, which lasts about 30 seconds, features videos and images with visual effects about ghosts and the history of the castle. At the end of the tunnel, you can take a photo and buy a souvenir for a small fee. While the experience is interesting and modern, it's not essential. If you don't buy a ticket to the Time Tunnel, you'll exit via a staircase that leads back to the restrooms. However, if you take the tunnel tour, it will take you to the foot of the mountain. From there, you'll need to walk around the castle (perfect for taking the best photos) and then climb back up the initial ramp if you need to use the restrooms. At the end of the tour, you'll find a large area with souvenir shops. Some accept euros or credit cards, while others are cash-only. Don't worry, though, as most offer the same products and you can pay by card. There are also several restaurants and food stalls selling takeaways, such as hot dogs, hamburgers, and snacks. In short, a very comprehensive and well-organized visit that combines history, legend, and entertainment in a spectacular setting. (Original) En la entrada del castillo puedes pagar en efectivo o en las máquinas automáticas. Tras ello, se sube por una rampa que lleva directamente a la puerta principal. Antes de entrar hay lavabos para mujeres, y en la planta superior para hombres (también se puede acceder a ellos al finalizar la visita). El interior está muy bien ambientado, con armaduras, escudos y trajes de época que crean una atmósfera medieval muy lograda. La visita se realiza subiendo y bajando escaleras, recorriendo diferentes salas, terrazas y miradores. Entre ellas destaca la sala del ataúd, otras con proyecciones audiovisuales, y la terraza con vistas impresionantes del entorno. Hay una Sala de Tortura (entrada opcional y de pago adicional) que merece la pena visitar: exhibe más de 30 instrumentos de tortura distintos, todos muy bien presentados y explicados. También está el Túnel del Tiempo, otra experiencia opcional de pago. Se accede por un ascensor situado frente al pozo del patio interior. El descenso, de unos 30 segundos, muestra vídeos e imágenes con efectos visuales sobre fantasmas y la historia del castillo. Al final del túnel puedes hacerte una foto y llevártela de recuerdo por un pequeño coste. Aunque la experiencia es curiosa y moderna, no es imprescindible. Si no compras la entrada al Túnel del Tiempo, saldrás por unas escaleras que conducen nuevamente a la zona de los lavabos. En cambio, si haces el recorrido del túnel, este te deja al pie de la montaña; desde allí deberás rodear el castillo (perfecto para tomar las mejores fotos) y subir de nuevo la rampa inicial si necesitas acceder a los servicios. Al finalizar la visita encontrarás una amplia zona con tiendas de recuerdos. Algunas aceptan euros o tarjeta, aunque otras solo cobran en efectivo; no te preocupes, ya que la mayoría ofrecen los mismos productos y pidrás pagar con tarjeta. También hay varios restaurantes y puestos con comida para llevar, como perritos calientes, hamburguesas y snacks. En resumen, una visita muy completa y bien organizada, que combina historia, leyenda y entretenimiento en un entorno espectacular.

(Translated by Google) It's a great place! There are some lines, so I recommend buying tickets online at the official website. If you have any questions, feel free to email them; they respond quickly and thoroughly. There were quite a few people, but that didn't bother us at all. The Halloween decorations were fantastic. If you're unsure about souvenirs, don't hesitate. You won't find such a selection in the city, and the prices are lower than in souvenir shops in Bucharest. (Original) Świetne miejsce! Są trochę kolejki, dlatego polecam kupić bilety online na oficjalnej stronie. Jeśli macie jakieś pytania – śmiało piszcie na oficjalny adres e-mail, odpowiadają szybko i szczegółowo. Ludzi było sporo, ale to wcale nie przeszkadzało. Dekoracje w okresie Halloween były fantastyczne. Jeśli macie wątpliwości co do pamiątek – nie zastanawiajcie się. Takiego wyboru nie znajdziecie w mieście, a ceny są niższe niż w sklepach z pamiątkami w Bukareszcie.

Not the real castle. Tourist Trap.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time at bran castle. We went with a tour guide who explained some of the history before going inside and I would definitely recommend doing that if you’re interested in a more in-depth explanation about the castle. Inside was so interesting and well kept. We went just after Halloween so there were a few decorations still up which really added to the vibe.

(Translated by Google) A truly special castle. Ideal in October for Halloween. I was there on Halloween night and the atmosphere was fantastic. You can buy tickets on the spot from the automatic machines. It's a shame about the endless wait to get in, with a queue of almost an hour and a half. (Original) Castello veramente speciale. Ideale nel mese di ottobre in occasione di Halloween. Ci sono stato per la sera di Halloween e l’atmosfera era fantastica. Possibilità di acquistare i biglietti sul momento presso le macchinette automatiche. Peccato l’attesa infinita per entrare con quasi un’ora e mezza di coda.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful tour, excellent guide and driver! Competence, professionalism, and friendliness. It's definitely a long trip, but that's inevitable given the distances involved, potential traffic along the way, and the lines at the castles. I'd say other castles, like Peles, are more worthwhile in my opinion. This one "only" has the charm of having legend on its side. (Original) Bel tour, ottima guida e autista! Competenza e professionalità e simpatia. È sicuramente un lungo viaggio, ma questo è inevitabile tra le distanze da percorrere, eventuale traffico che si incontra lungo il tragitto e le file ai castelli. Diciamo che gli altri castelli, come quello di Peles meritano di più per ME. Questo ha "solo" il fascino di avere la leggenda dalla sua parte.

Expected to be more spectacular inside. Very expensive tickets for what you see inside, about 1hr tour. Amazing views around the castle.

(Translated by Google) A very pleasant and interesting experience. I visited Bran Castle when I was a child and I can say that now, on my second visit, things have evolved very nicely. I visited it around Halloween and the thematic decorations, as well as the actors dressed as various “scary” characters, completed the legendary atmosphere of the place. I appreciated, however, that the legend did not take over the history and real story of this place. Enough information is provided, beautifully presented, so that you can understand the history and heritage of the Romanian people. (Original) O experiență foarte plăcută și interesantă. Am vizitat Castelul Bran când eram copil și pot spune că acum, la a doua vizită, lucrurile au evoluat foarte frumos. L-am vizitat în preajma Halloween-ului și decorațiunile tematice, precum și actorii costumați în diferite personaje “înspăimântătoare” întregeau atmosfera de legendă a locului. Am apreciat, însă, că legenda nu a acaparat istoria și povestea reală a acestui loc. Sunt oferite suficiente informații frumos prezentate astfel încât să poți înțelege istoria și moștenirea poporului român.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful castle, but also very crowded. You have to decide for yourself if it's worth it. If you come during peak times, it's extremely busy and you practically walk at a snail's pace. (Original) Eine schöne Burg, aber auch sehr überlaufen. Man muss selbst wissen, ob es einem Wert ist. Wenn man zu Stoßzeiten kommt, ist es sehr voll und man läuft praktisch in Schrittgeschwindigkeit.
