(Translated by Google) Bran Castle is often referred to as "Dracula's Castle"—a title largely born of the imagination and commercial exploitation of later generations. In reality, its connection to Vlad III, the Impaler, infamous in history for his cruelty, is extremely tenuous. Most historians believe that Vlad III never permanently resided in or owned the castle, and there is no evidence that Bram Stoker ever heard of it when he wrote his novel Dracula. Nevertheless, with its unique Gothic facade, winding stone staircases, and mysterious towers, Bran Castle has cemented the cultural symbolism of the "vampire castle." This deeply ingrained image makes it one of Romania's most popular tourist attractions, drawing numerous visitors from around the world each year. 👍 (Original) Das Schloss Bran wird oft als das „Dracula-Schloss“ bezeichnet – ein Titel, der größtenteils aus der Vorstellungskraft und der kommerziellen Vermarktung späterer Generationen stammt. Tatsächlich ist seine Verbindung zu Vlad III., dem „Pfähler“, der in der Geschichte für seine Grausamkeit berüchtigt war, äußerst gering. Die meisten Historiker sind der Ansicht, dass Vlad III. niemals dauerhaft in diesem Schloss lebte oder es besaß und es gibt keine Beweise dafür, dass Bram Stoker beim Schreiben seines Romans Dracula jemals von diesem Bauwerk gehört hat. Trotzdem hat das Schloss Bran mit seiner einzigartigen gotischen Fassade, den verwinkelten steinernen Treppen und den geheimnisumwobenen Türmen das kulturelle Symbol des „Vampirschlosses“ geprägt. Dieses tief verankerte Bild macht es zu einer der beliebtesten Touristenattraktionen Rumäniens, die jedes Jahr zahlreiche Besucher aus aller Welt anzieht.👍

(Translated by Google) Yes, it was okay. I would only do it in combination with Pales Castle. (Original) Ja, war oke. Würde ich nur in Kombination mit pales Castle machen.

(Translated by Google) Although there is a lot of hype around the place (although some sources say Vlad never visited it), and it is nicely done, more information could have been shared with visitors on the history page of the place. (Original) A felhajtás ugyan nagy a hely körül (bár egyes források szerint Vlad sosem járt itt), és szépen megvan csinálva, mégis lehetett volna több információt megosztani a hely története lapcsán a látogatokkal.

(Translated by Google) "Dracula's Castle" is worth a visit, but unfortunately the crowds reduce the experience. This castle is smaller than the ones we have in Slovakia, you can walk around it in 30 minutes. The garden and surroundings are interesting. Buy tickets in advance online or at the kiosks in front of the castle. There is also a park fee of 20 RON, which you pay in the machine. (Original) " Drakulov hrad " stojí za návštevu len bohužiaľ davy ľudí znižujú zážitok. Tento hrad je menší ako máme na Slovensku do 30 minút ho máte obehnuty. Zaujímavá je záhrada a okolie . Lístky si kúpte vopred online poprípade v kioskach pred hradom. Platí sa aj parkové 20 RON v automate zaplatíte.

(Translated by Google) It's nice and I would recommend going, but it's not very Dracula-themed. (Original) Es bonito y recomendaría ir, pero no está muy ambientado a Drácula.

(Translated by Google) I'm not disappointed. I really liked the castle itself, but the exhibition part was forgettable. And that crowd, mind-boggling. Crowding on the narrow stairs, in the rooms. There's something I couldn't even fit in there. It was on my bucket list, I'll check it off, but it's unlikely I'll ever visit it again. (Original) Hanyatt esve nem vagyok. A kastély maga nagyon tetszett, viszont a kiállítás része felejthető. És az a tömeg, eszméletlen. Tolongás a szűk lépcsőkön,a termekben. Van amihez oda sem fértem. Bakancslistán rajta volt,kipipálom,de nem valószínű, hogy valaha újra felkeresem.

This was a tourist trap. I wish I didnt bother 😭 A lot of walking, little to see and so crowded that you will have to stand in line to just walk one single step. Do not recommend.

(Translated by Google) The castle is extremely beautiful, but we were bothered by the excessive crowding. We were packed like at an AC/DC concert. You can't see the castle in peace, because people are pushing you from all sides. The most annoying thing is that they are filming and taking pictures all the time. You have to pay extra to see the torture chamber (20 RON) and the tunnels (30 RON). But it was great, because at least we felt a little crowded there. (Original) Grad je izjemno lep, ampak naju je motila pretirana gneca. Natrpani smo bili kot na koncertu AC/DC. Gradu si ne mores ogledati v miru, saj te iz vseh strani ljudje potiskajo. Najbokj motece je, ker ves cas snemajo in slikajo. Potrebno je doplacilo za ogled mucilnice (20 RON) in tunelov (30 RON). Je pa bilo super, ker sva vsaj tam malo usla gneci.

(Translated by Google) It was a disappointment. There was nothing to see. It was just an attraction. I was expecting more historical, artistic, and cultural exhibits. And the priority entry ticket cost over 24€. That's too expensive. And once inside, it was so crowded that it was difficult to move forward. I was truly disappointed. (Original) 期待外れでした。 見るものなし。単なるアトラクションです。 もっと、歴史的、芸術的、文化的な展示だと思っていました。 そして、入場優先チケットは24€以上もする。高すぎる。そして、中に入ってしまえば結局人だらけで、前に進むことも難しい状況。 心底失望しました。
