Reviews for Bran Castle

(Translated by Google) This is the place that inspired the character of Count Dracula in Bram Stoker's novel. Built in the 14th century as a defensive fortress, it also served as a customs house and royal residence. Today, it houses a museum of history and culture. Despite being the most famous castle in Romania, and while it's not bad as a castle, it's not as spectacular as the legends have made it out to be. Inside, you can see some rooms with period decor, but it's usually so crowded that it makes visiting difficult. Tickets can be purchased from the machines at the entrance or in advance online. Opening hours: Monday 12:00-18:00 and Tuesday-Sunday 09:00-18:00. Price: 70 RON. The torture chamber costs 20 RON and the time tunnel, 30 RON. There is paid parking next to the castle for 6 RON/hour, although you can also park in the village, which is free and a 10-minute walk away, and walk to the castle. (Original) Es el lugar en el que se inspiró el personaje del Conde Drácula para la novela de Bram Stoker. Construido en el XIV como fortaleza defensiva aunque también sirvió como aduana y residencia real. Hoy alberga un museo de la historia y cultura. A pesar de ser el más famoso de Rumanía y que como castillo no está mal, no es tan espectacular como la leyenda lo ha hecho. En el interior se ven algunas salas con decoración de la época pero suele haber tanta gente que dificulta la visita. Las entradas se pueden comprar en las máquinas de la entrada o con antelación en la web. Horario L 12:00-18:00 y M-D 09:00-18:00. Precio 70RON. La sala de tortura cuesta 20RON y el túnel del tiempo, 30RON. Hay aparcamiento de pago junto al castillo por 6RON/h aunque también se puede dejar en el pueblo, que es gratuito y está a 10min, y acercarse andando.

(Translated by Google) We were there on Halloween's special day, it was a great experience; dressed-up extras, Halloween decorations, great atmosphere, projection on the castle wall... (Original) A halloween-i kiemelt napon voltunk, óriási élmény volt; beöltözött statiszták, halloweeni dekoráció, szuper hangulat, vetítés a várfalra...

For how expensive it is - one star, don’t recommend. The castle is small, has barely a handful of interesting things, mostly crappy halloween decorations from Temu. The price is absurd. And the additional 40 for the time tunnel which is a bunch of pictures and takes a minute... I feel scammed. The toitoi there was smeared with poop, so I went elsewhere to use the bathroom. If the price was 10 euros it would be 3/5.

(Translated by Google) Although the scenery and the castle are incredible, the way it's being exploited completely ruins the visit. It's so overcrowded that you can't see it the way it deserves. A real shame. (Original) Aunque el paisaje y el Castillo son increíbles, la explotación que se está haciendo del mismo hace que desmerezca totalmente la visita. Está tan masificado que no puede verse de la manera que merece. Una pena

I have to say, Bran Castle was a huge disappointment — totally overrated. The place is actually very small, and the crowds are unbelievable. There were so many people packed inside that it was almost impossible to move or enjoy anything. It’s been heavily marketed as “Dracula’s Castle,” but in reality, it has little to do with either Dracula. Architecturally and historically, there’s not much to see — just a few rooms, narrow staircases, and a lot of hype. Honestly, it felt like a tourist trap rather than a real historical experience. Visiting it on Halloween, I expected something atmospheric or special, but it turned out to be pure disappointment.

(Translated by Google) I went to the Halloween experience, it cost me 30 euros. When I bought the ticket, it said: visual effects, actors, dark rooms, etc. There was absolutely nothing there. Even the projection with information about Count Vlad was contradictory, and the projection was so poorly configured that it was barely legible. Furthermore, there was only one speaker in the entire castle, they rushed us to walk quickly, the people were incredibly disrespectful, and the actors weren't scary at all; they were just there for taking selfies. There were no more than five actors spread throughout the whole castle. Honestly, it was awful, a rip-off, a scam. (Original) Fui a la experiencia Halloween, me salió 30 euros, cuando compré esta entrada leí que decía: efectos visuales, actores, dark rooms, etc. No había absolutamente nada, hasta la proyección con la información del conde Vlad era contradictoria y la proyección estaba tan mal configurada que a penas era legible. Además había un solo parlante en todo el castillo, nos apuraban para que caminemos rápido, las personas súper irrespetuosas y los actores no asustaban, estaban para sacarse selfies y no había más de 5 actores distribuidos en todo el castillo. La verdad pésimo, un robo, una estafa-

(Translated by Google) Very impressive from the outside, but inside too many rooms have been transformed into a tourist attraction exploiting the myth of Dracula. (Original) Esternamente molto suggestivo, internamente troppe sale trasformate in attrazione turistica sfruttando il mito di Dracula
