(Translated by Google) Superb! Bran Castle is one of the most famous historical monuments in Romania, located on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia. The current construction dates back to the 14th century, when the fortification had a strategic role and controlled the trade route through the Bran Pass. Over time, it had military, administrative and customs functions. The castle is associated in popular culture with the legend of Dracula, but the direct historical connection with Vlad the Impaler is much less than the tourist myth suggests. Instead, the modern history of the castle is closely linked to Queen Maria of Romania, who received it in 1920 and transformed it into a much-loved royal residence. The interior preserves furniture, art objects and rooms that evoke this period. The architecture is spectacular with its towers, narrow passages, interior staircases, central courtyard and position on the cliff, with superb views of the Bran area. (Original) Superb! Castelul Bran este unul dintre cele mai cunoscute monumente istorice din România, aflat la granița dintre Transilvania și Țara Românească. Construcția actuală datează din secolul al XIV-lea, când fortificația avea rol strategic și controla drumul comercial prin trecătoarea Bran. De-a lungul timpului a avut funcții militare, administrative și vamale. Castelul este asociat în cultura populară cu legenda lui Dracula, însă legătura istorică directă cu Vlad Țepeș este mult mai redusă decât sugerează mitul turistic. În schimb, istoria modernă a castelului este strâns legată de Regina Maria a României, care l-a primit în 1920 și l-a transformat într-o reședință regală foarte îndrăgită. Interiorul păstrează mobilier, obiecte de artă și încăperi care evocă această perioadă. Arhitectura este spectaculoasă prin turnurile, pasajele înguste, scările interioare, curtea centrală și poziția pe stâncă, cu priveliști superbe spre zona Branului.

(Translated by Google) The castle is beautiful, but it's been turned into a tourist trap, with overly high prices even for parking. I don't recommend it. (Original) Bello il castello, però è stato trasformato in una trappola per turisti, prezzi troppo alti anche per i parcheggi. Sconsiglio.

Better than I expected. Worth a visit. Got there with an Uber from Brasov - a lot cheaper than taking a tour and no problem buying a ticket.

(Translated by Google) The experience was okay, but the castle didn't quite live up to expectations. It's a bit bare, and the folklore and vampire projections are a way to extend an otherwise very brief visit. It's beautiful from the outside, but you can skip it without regrets. (Original) Esperienza ok ma il castello non supporta del tutto le aspettative. È un po' spoglio e le proiezioni sul folklore e i vampiri sono un modo per allungare la visita che altrimenti sarebbe molto breve. Bello da fuori ma si può evitare la visita senza rimpianti.

Mega tourist trap. Do yourself a favour and skip it. Had Italian tour guides abusing the family as we walked up the path to the castle. We are pretty normal nice people. Just not worth the hassle. Take a photo from outside and visit one of the other castles. It's just an overpriced tourist trap.

(Translated by Google) The castle is beautiful with beautiful views of the surroundings. We were there in September, when there weren't so many people. There are many shops under the castle where you can buy souvenirs and snacks. There are many rooms in the castle where you can see the history. (Original) Hrad nádherný s krásnymi výhľadmi na okolie. Boli sme v septembri, keď už nebolo ani tak veľa ľudí. Pod hradom množstvo obchodíkov kde si viete kúpiť suveníry, občerstvenie. Na Hrade množstvo miestností kde si viete pozrieť históriu.

The play on Dracula is just silly and very amateur attempts to add him to the building in some ways. Would be better to just talk about the castle's actual history, which is pretty cool on its own. Cool architecture.
