(Translated by Google) Beautiful on the outside! Inside? Well, it's divisive.... (Original) Kívül szép! Belül? Hát megosztó....

Amazing experience but too crowded. Great location and nice castle. You can easily park around and follow the long line.

(Translated by Google) Not recommended, too crowded, you have to queue from the moment you enter each room, horrible, they should implement entry times, you can't enjoy anything, the worst I've seen in Romania (Original) No recomendado, demasiada gente, vas en cola desde que entras en cada habitación, horrible, deberían de poner turnos de entrada, no se disfruta nada, lo peor que he visto en rumania

On a Tuesday in August, we stood in line for a full hour. It was overcrowded and overpriced, and you have to pay extra for two of the exhibitions. Nevertheless, the catle is beautiful and unique.

(Translated by Google) We visited the ticket office on a Sunday around 11:30 a.m. and began our tour of the castle shortly thereafter. The climb up to the castle was moderately busy, so we were admitted in less than ten minutes. The castle is definitely worth seeing. However, due to the narrow passageways, admission is in groups, which still regularly leads to minor bottlenecks and waiting times inside. The tour can therefore sometimes feel hectic, as you're moving through the rooms almost like on a conveyor belt. After the tour, the shaded green area at the foot of the castle offers a pleasant place to relax. The entrance fee of 90 RON (approx. €18) for adults seems a bit high. Prices in the surrounding area are also above average: for example, a lángos cost €5 and a scoop of ice cream €2.30 at an ice cream parlor. Overall, these factors somewhat detract from the overall experience of visiting Bran Castle. (Original) Wir besuchten den Ticketschalter an einem Sonntag gegen 11:30 Uhr und begannen den Rundgang durch die Burg kurz darauf. Der Aufstieg zur Burg war moderat frequentiert, sodass wir nach weniger als zehn Minuten Einlass erhielten. Die Burg ist durchaus sehenswert. Aufgrund der engen Gänge erfolgt der Einlass jedoch in Gruppen, was dennoch regelmäßig zu kleineren Staus und Wartezeiten im Inneren führt. Der Rundgang kann dadurch mitunter als hektisch empfunden werden, da man sich teilweise wie auf einem Fließband durch die Räume bewegt. Nach der Besichtigung bietet die Grünfläche am Fuße der Burg im Schatten eine angenehme Möglichkeit zum Verweilen. Der Eintrittspreis von 90 RON (ca. 18 €) für Erwachsene erscheint etwas hoch. Auch die Preise im Umfeld sind überdurchschnittlich: So kostete beispielsweise ein Lángos 5 € und eine Kugel Eis 2,30 € bei einer Eisdiele. Insgesamt trüben diese Faktoren das Besuchserlebnis der Burg Bran etwas.

I would never recommend this to anyone. Irresponsible pushing for visitor churn. The most claustrophobic experience in a tourist attraction of my life. With the added spice of super low-grade installations, you really got a feeling of throwing money out the window. Do not go here. It is not worth it.

(Translated by Google) Dracula's Castle (Bran Castle): Disappointing and Overcrowded We visited the castle on a summer Monday with a fast-track ticket, and even then, the experience was quite disappointing. Without this type of ticket, the queue was over two hours long in the sun, and despite paying more, there was no real access control, resulting in completely overcrowded rooms, narrow corridors, and a constant feeling of being overwhelmed. We saw several people struggling with the heat and lack of space. The castle is small, many rooms are empty or poorly utilized, with little historical explanation or context, making it difficult to appreciate the place beyond the Dracula myth. The famous elevator to the basement adds nothing relevant: it just takes you down without any additional experience. The most pleasant part was the exterior area, with gardens and views that invite you to stroll. Compared to other castles in the region, this one is expensive and overrated. If you're looking for a rich cultural visit or a more peaceful experience, there are much better options nearby. (Original) Castillo de Drácula (Castillo de Bran) Decepcionante y masificado Visitamos el castillo un lunes de verano con entrada fast track, y aun así la experiencia fue bastante decepcionante. Sin este tipo de entrada, la cola superaba las dos horas al sol, y pese a pagar más, no hubo ningún tipo de control real del acceso, lo que resultó en salas completamente abarrotadas, pasillos estrechos y sensación de agobio constante. Vimos a varias personas pasarlo mal por el calor y la falta de espacio. El castillo es pequeño, muchas salas están vacías o mal aprovechadas, con pocas explicaciones históricas o contexto, lo que hace difícil apreciar el lugar más allá del mito de Drácula. El famoso ascensor al sótano no aporta nada relevante: solo te lleva abajo sin ningún tipo de experiencia adicional. Lo más agradable fue la zona exterior, con jardines y vistas que invitan a pasear. En comparación con otros castillos de la región, este resulta caro y sobrevalorado. Si buscas una visita cultural rica o una experiencia más tranquila, hay opciones mucho mejores cerca.

(Translated by Google) Let's give one star to those of us who chose to visit a normal castle, without any special features, aside from the small historical interlude dedicated to King Ferdinand and Queen Maria, let alone the legendary side of Count Dracula. After an hour of queuing (a true example of the capitalist world); "You pay more? This will allow you to overwhelm the next person, your fellow man, who paid a normal price, and has already been queuing for an hour!!! Scarcely any staff inside, captions in Romanian and English, when the majority of foreign visitors are Italian, Spanish, and French. Not a single Anglo-Saxon in sight!!! Zero security. Hundreds of people trapped in tiny nooks and crannies, tunnels packed with people with no way out. I don't even want to imagine any accident, natural or otherwise... mea culpa mea culpa...! (Original) Mettiamo una stella a noi che abbiamo scelto di visitare un castello normale, senza nessuna caratteristica speciale, a parte la piccola parentesi storica dedicata a Re Ferdinando e la Regina Maria, ne tantomeno il lato legendario del Conte Dracula. Dopo un ora di fila (vero esempio di mondo capitalista); "paghi di piu? Questo ti permetterà di sopraffare il prossimo, tuo simile che ha pagato un prezzo normale, e gia sta in fila da un ora!!! Poco personale all'interno, didascalie in rumeno e inglese, quando la maggiorparte dei visitatori stranieri sono italiani, spagnoli e francesi. Di anglosassoni neanche l'ombra!!! Sicurezza zero. Centinaia di persone chiuse in anfratti piccolissimi, cunicoli pieni zeppi di gente senza nessuna via di uscita. Non voglio neanche immaginare un qualsivoglia incidente di matrice naturale o meno...mea culpa mea culpa...!

(Translated by Google) It was really cool. I highly recommend going there. It's a small castle that tells all about Drakula. (Original) Het was heel erg gaaf. Het is een aanrader om ernaar toe te gaan. Het is een kleine kasteel die alles verteld over Drakula👍
