(Translated by Google) Funny, people are complaining that the castle is overcrowded. Of course it is. I mean, anyone visiting Romania almost inevitably has to go to the castle where (supposedly) Vlad stayed. It's like visiting Rome and not going to the Colosseum. According to the guide, there were over 1 million visitors in 2024. And since the grounds are rather small, that impression is unavoidable. The best solution would be to arrive promptly at 9:00 AM, like we did; then it's still manageable. Besides being the inspiration for Dracula, the castle is also known as a royal castle. And that's what most of it is about. Only the smaller section is dedicated to the dark prince. There's an audio guide (price and languages ​​unknown), but you always have to find a spot to listen to it where you're not in everyone's way. The information panels are bilingual. There's an extra charge for two special exhibitions. An adult who wants to see everything will pay a total of over €20 (excluding souvenirs and the audio guide). The castle is not only the inspiration for Dracula but also a royal castle. The entire castle consists of stairs, more stairs, souvenir shops, and more stairs. Anyone with mobility issues should avoid it. It's also unsuitable for small children. Once inside, you can't simply turn around due to the crowds. For such a famous castle (considering the price), this wasn't enough for me. As the operators know, most visitors come for the Dracula theme. This should be explained and shown more clearly. If the castle is full, perhaps somewhere else is better. The royal theme doesn't have to be neglected because of this. As it stands, I'd give it 3/5, although the crowds aren't a factor. (Original) Lustig, da wird kritisiert, das Schloss sei überlaufen. Natürlich ist es das. Ich meine wer Rumänien besucht muss fast zwangsläufig zum Schloss in dem (angeblich) Vlad Unterkunft hatte. Das ist das gleiche als würde man Rom besuchen und nicht ins Kolosseum gehen. Laut Guide waren es 2024 über 1 Million Besucher. Und da das Areal eher klein ist entsteht zwangsläufig der Eindruck. Die beste Abhilfe währe es pünktlich um 09:00 da zu sein, so wie wir, dann geht es noch. Das Schloss ist neben der Vorlage zu Dracula auch als Königsschloss bekannt. Und es geht zum Großteil auch darum. Nur der kleinere widmet sich dem dunklen Fürsten. Es gibt einen Audio Guide (Preis und Sprachen unbekannt) allerdings muss man sich dann zum Anhören immer einen Platz suchen, wo man den anderen nicht im Wege steht. Die Info-Tafeln sind zweisprachig. Für zwei Sonder-Ausstellungen ist extra zu zahlen. Wer sich als Erwachsener alles ansehen kommt auf einen Gesamtpreis (ohne Erinnerungsstücke, ohne Audio-Guide) von über €20. Das ganze Schloss besteht aus Stufen, Stufen Souvenirshops, und nochmal Stufen. Wer schlecht zu Fuß ist sollte es bleiben lassen. Für Kleinkinder auch nicht geeignet. Wenn man einmal drinnen ist, kann man, aufgrund des Andranges, nicht einfach umdrehen. Das war mir für das berühmte Schloss (in Anbetracht des Preises ) zu wenig. Wie die Betreiber wissen kommen die meisten Besucher wegen der Thematik um Dracula. Dann sollte dies auch mehr erklärt, und gezeigt werden. Wenn im Schloss der Platz ausgeht gerne auch wo anders. Die Königsthematik muss deshalb ja nicht zurück weichen. So aber 3/5, wobei der Andrang kein Einflussfaktor ist.

(Translated by Google) A modest castle, more like half-empty small rooms, has nothing to do with Count Vlad Dracula. (Original) Скромен замък,по-скоро полупразни малки стаички,няма нищо общо с граф Влад Дракула.

(Translated by Google) A magical place that captivates you with its history, mystery and dreamlike landscape! 🏰 Every corner of the castle has a story, and the atmosphere is like something out of a movie. Dracula is just the beginning – the real legend is the energy of the place. Go, feel, live! 🔥 (Original) Un loc magic, care te prinde cu istoria, misterul și peisajul de vis! 🏰 Fiecare colț al castelului are o poveste, iar atmosfera e ca desprinsă dintr-un film. Dracula e doar începutul – adevărata legendă e energia locului. Mergi, simte, trăiește! 🔥

(Translated by Google) I liked the castle, I just expected it to be a little bigger. We were there on Children's Day, there were activities for the children, which I think is a very good idea, the little ones really enjoyed it. There are lots of shopping opportunities in the area, it was really nice to wander around the flea market. (Original) Tetszett a kastély, csak kicsit nagyobbra számítottam. Pont gyereknapon voltunk, voltak foglalkozások a gyerekek számára, ami szerintem nagyon jó ötlet, nagyon élvezték a kicsik. A környéken rengeteg vásárlási lehetőség van, nagyon jó volt bolyongani a kirakodó vásárban.

(Translated by Google) Bran Castle is well worth a visit. It's an old building from the 16th century that has been renovated. When the heirs recovered it in 1990, it was completely unfurnished, so the current furnishings are modern. Its fame stems from the novel Dracula, although its author never set foot in or visited Romania. (Original) El Castillo de Bran es recomendable visitarlo. Es una construcción antigua del siglo que se ha remodelado. Cuando en 1990 los herederos lo recuperaron no había nada de mobiliario con lo que el actual es moderno. Su fama procede de la novela de Drácula, aunque su autor nunca estuvo ni visitó Rumanía.
