Reviews for Bran Castle

(Translated by Google) Castelul Bran, also known as Dracula's Castle, is one of the most famous and visited castles in Romania. It is located near the city of Brașov, in the Bran County, and is surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the Carpathian Mountains. The construction of the castle was completed in 1388. The castle served as a strategic fortress and a checkpoint on the trade route between Transylvania and Wallachia. Over the centuries, the castle belonged to various owners, including the Hungarian kings and the Romanian royal families. The castle is often associated with the legend of Dracula, a figure inspired by Vlad III, known as Vlad the Impaler. However, historical evidence that Vlad actually resided in the castle is limited. The popularity of the castle as "Dracula's Castle" was increased by Bram Stoker's book "Dracula", although the author never visited the castle. (Original) Castelul Bran, známý také jako Drákulův hrad, je jedním z nejznámějších a nejnavštěvovanějších hradů v Rumunsku. Nachází se v blízkosti města Brașov, v oblasti Bran, a je obklopen krásnou krajinou Karpat. Stavba hradu byla dokončena v roce 1388. Hrad sloužil jako strategická pevnost a kontrolní bod na obchodní cestě mezi Transylvánií a Valašskem. V průběhu staletí hrad patřil různým majitelům, včetně uherských králů a rumunských královských rodin. Hrad je často spojován s legendou o Drákulovi, což je postava inspirovaná Vladem III., známým jako Vlad Napichovač. Nicméně, historické důkazy o tom, že Vlad skutečně pobýval na hradě, jsou omezené. Popularitu hradu jako "Drákulova hradu" zvýšila kniha Brama Stokera "Dracula", ačkoli autor nikdy hrad nenavštívil.

(Translated by Google) I was fascinated. The views are breathtaking. I took a bus from Bucharest to Brasov and from there a transport to Bran. It's far from Bucharest, but it's completely worth it. Everything around is beautiful too, perfect for buying souvenirs or grabbing a bite to eat. (Original) Me fascinó. Las vistas son impresionantes. Yo tome desde bucarest un autobús a Brasov y de ahí el transporte a Bran. Esta lejos de bucarest pero lo vale completamente. Todo al rededor es precioso también, para comprar souvenirs, o comer algo.

(Translated by Google) It didn't impress me as much as I expected. The rooms could have been better arranged. Still, it's a magnificent piece of architecture and worth seeing. (Original) Beklediğim kadar etkilemedi beni. Odalar daha güzel düzenlenebilirdi. Yine de ihtişamlı bir mimari ve görülmeye değer.

(Translated by Google) The castle was unfortunately very overrun with tourists. I also got the feeling that they were trying to make a lot of money off the whole Dracula story. The entrance fee isn't cheap, and there are even areas in the small castle that you have to pay extra for. Inside, there was also a lot of decoration and kitsch that I didn't think belonged there. The castle is surprisingly well-preserved, and I loved all the little nooks and crannies. Very few people seemed to have bothered to learn about the actual history of the castle and its rooms. Those aspects were relegated to the background. (Original) Das Schloss war leider sehr von Touristen überlaufen. Ich hatte auch das Gefühl, dass man versucht viel Geld mit der ganzen Drakula Geschichte zu machen. Der Eintritt ist nicht billig, dafür gibt es im kleinen Schloss noch Bereiche für die man extra zahlen muss. Drinnen leider auch sehr viel Dekoration und Kitsch, die da für mich nicht reingehört. Das Schloss ist erstaunlich gut erhalten und die vielen kleinen Winkel fand ich toll. Die wenigsten haben sich wohl über die eigentliche Geschichte des Schlosses und die Räumlichkeiten informiert. Die stehen hier im Hintergrund.

(Translated by Google) Crowded with people! It is recommended to go in warmer weather, otherwise you will freeze from the cold waiting in lines... Inside the castle was made in a very infantile way with monitors on which insanely stupid images are projected.... It's not serious.... (Original) Претъпкано от хора! За препоръчване да ходите в по - топло време иначе ще замръзнете от студ в чакане по опашки... Отвътре замъка беше направен по много инфантилен начин с монитори, на които се прожектират безумно глупави изображения.... Не е сериозно....
