Reviews for Bran Castle

(Translated by Google) A complete waste of time and money! Expensive entrance fees out of all proportion and every interesting display requires an additional payment. They keep pushing more and more people in - crazy pushing. In the dictionary under the definition "tourist trap" there is a picture of this place. (Original) בזבוז זמן וכסף מוחלט! דמי כניסה יקרים ללא שום פרופורציה וכל תצוגה מעניינת דורשת תשלום נוסף. מכניסים עוד ועוד אנשים - דוחק מטורף. במילון תחת ההגדרה ״מלכודת תיירים״ ישנה תמונה של המקום הזה.

(Translated by Google) An iconic castle in Transylvania. Arrive early as the queue can be long, and I recommend buying your ticket online to save time. (Original) Iconique château en Transylvanie. Arrivez d’avance car la file peut être longue et je conseil d’acheter le ticket en ligne pour sauver du temps

(Translated by Google) Well, it's incredibly touristy and far too expensive. The surrounding area is nice for walks. (Original) Naja es ist super viel Tourismus und viel zu teuer. Die Umgebung ist nett zum spazieren gehen.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful location and a worthwhile tour inside the Castle. The unpleasant part was the parking—more specifically, the machine where I initially paid for parking did not issue a receipt. The employee of the management company kept repeating the same thing without any real communication, telling me the amount would be refunded. However, this did not happen, so I ended up paying twice for parking. This practice, I imagine, happens often to many others and can be described as very bad.

Beautiful location and a tour worth doing inside Castelului. Partea neprèdici a fost parkinga, mai exact automatul unde am paid initially pentru parkinga nu a liberat chitanța. The employee of the administration company repeats the same thing without the possibility of reaching the understanding and saying that the sum will be returned. Acest lucur no s-a happened, so I paid two ori pentru parking. This practice, I believe that it happens des si multor altara, poate fi characterizată într-un mod foarte urât. (Original) Όμορφη τοποθεσία και αξιόλογη η περιήγηση εντος του Κάστρου. Το δυσάρεστο ήταν το parking, πιο συγκεκριμένα το μηχάνημα όπου πλήρωσα αρχικά για τη στάθμευση δεν εξέδωσε απόδειξη. Ο υπάλληλος της εταιρείας διαχείρησης επαναλάμβανε το ίδιο πράγμα χωρίς να υπάρχει η δυνατότητα περεταίρω συνεννόησης και μου έλεγε ότι το ποσό θα μου επιστραφεί. Αυτό όμως δεν συνέβει, έτσι πλήρωσα 2 φορές για τη στάθμευση. Η πρακτική αυτή, φαντάζομαι ότι συμβαίνει συχνά και σε πολλούς άλλους και μπορεί να χαρακτηριστεί πολύ άσχημα.

Locație frumoasă și un tur care merită făcut în interiorul Castelului. Partea neplăcută a fost parcarea, mai exact automatul unde am plătit inițial pentru parcare nu a eliberat chitanță. Angajatul companiei de administrare repeta același lucru fără să existe posibilitatea de a ajunge la o înțelegere și îmi spunea că suma îmi va fi returnată. Acest lucru însă nu s-a întâmplat, așa că am plătit de două ori pentru parcare. Această practică, bănuiesc că se întâmplă des și multor altora, poate fi caracterizată într-un mod foarte urât.

(Translated by Google) I don't really recommend this place. We bought our tickets well in advance, for a specific time. However, once we got there, we still had to stand in a huge line because they don't let us in on time, only as they come and go. With tickets purchased online, we skip the ticket line, but that doesn't change anything. The castle is crowded, and it's impossible to see everything in detail in such conditions. There are restrooms on site, and the park below the castle is quite nice. Souvenirs are cheaper in the area than in Brasov, for example, so it's worth buying some there. (Original) Właściwie nie polecam tego miejsca. Bilety kupiliśmy dużo przed przyjazdem, na konkretną godzinę. Natomiast na miejscu i tak trzeba wystać swoje w gigantycznej kolejce, bo nie wpuszczają na godziny tylko jak leci. Z biletem zakupionym online omijamy kolejkę do kasy, ale to niczego nie zmienia. W zamku jest tłum ludzi, nie ma możliwości dokładnie wszystkiego zwiedzieć w takich warunkach. Na miejscu toaleta, park pod zamkiem całkiem spoko. Pamiątki w okolicy tańsze niż np w Braszowie, więc warto tam kupić

(Translated by Google) Short and sweet - unnecessary. The novels try hard to convince that this is a special castle. Nothing to do with Dracula, just another castle. Blows people away at the level of claustrophobia. (Original) קצר וקולע - מיותר. הרומנים מתאמצים לשכנע שמדובר בטירה מיוחדת. שום קשר לדרקולה, סתם עוד טירה. מפוצץ אנשים ברמת קלסטרופוביה.

(Translated by Google) When planning a tour of Romania, many of us have this place on our TOP list. Being in Romania and not seeing Dracula's Castle? The castle looks majestic from the outside, making a huge visual impression. There are private parking lots near the castle, but the price is around 19 lei per hour! But what can we do? And we head to the castle. The rooms inside are modest, and the number of tours depends on the ticket option we purchase. To access everything there is to see, the MAX option is, of course, recommended (rooms, torture chamber, underground tunnel). I recommend booking tickets online in advance. Unfortunately, tickets aren't cheap. During our week-long stay in Romania, they were unfortunately among the most expensive, and the town itself wasn't the cheapest either. The guided tour option costs 230 RON per person. And now for a less positive note about the tickets and tour options. We booked the first hour (9:00) with an English-speaking guide. There's a separate queue, the guide takes us aside, and we begin. We're in a group of about 20 people. Soon, the group has 30 people. The guide checks tickets and asks the individual visitors to leave. But this only lasts a moment, as it becomes crowded again. No one can control it anymore; the number of individual visitors is so large, everything mixes, and it becomes a huge mess. You look for the guide, but you can't hear what he's saying... sorry, but it's a real organizational disaster. The other group members were also furious, as we had hoped to learn a lot about the castle and its history with the guide. But that was only at the beginning. It's scary to think what happens at noon, when the number of visitors increases. Unfortunately, in retrospect, I wouldn't have chosen the guided tour again. At the castle, we received a coupon for a drink at the park restaurant. However, the drink is free if you order a main course. The next day, we also toured Peles with the guide, and it was fantastic. A completely different tour organization. (Original) Planując zwiedzanie Rumunii, wielu z nas ma to miejsce na swojej liście TOP. Być w Rumunii i nie zobaczyć zamku Drakuli? A zamek z zewnątrz prezentuje się majestatycznie, czym robi wzrokowo ogromne wrażenie. W pobliżu zamku są prywatne parkingi, jednak cenowo wychodzi około 19 lei za godzinę! Ale co zrobić? I udajemy się na zamek. Sale wewnątrz skromne, a ich ilość zwiedzania zależy od opcji biletów jakie kupimy. By mieć dostęp do wszystkiego co można zwiedzić, to oczywiście zalecana jest opcja MAX (pokoje, sala tortur, tunel podziemny). Zalecam zamówienie biletów wcześniej przez internet. Niestety bilety nie są tanie. Podczas naszego tygodniowego pobytu w Rumunii, należały one niestety do najdroższych, a i samo miasteczko nie należy również do najtańszych. Opcja z przewodnikiem to 230 RON od osoby. I teraz mniej pozytywnie co do opcji biletów i zwiedzania. My zarezerwowaliśmy pierwszą godzinę (9:00) z przewodnikiem w języku angielskim. Osobna kolejka, Pani przewodnik nas zabiera na bok i zaczynamy. Jest nas w grupie około 20-stu osób. Za chwilę grupa ma 30 osób. Pani Przewodnik sprawdza bilety i prosi osoby indywidualnie zwiedzające o opuszczenie grupy. Ale trwa to ponownie tylko chwilę, gdyż znowu robi się tłok. Nikt już nad tym nie panuje, ilość indywidualnych zwiedzających jest tak duża, wszystko się miksuje, ze robi się jeden wielki bałagan. Szukasz przewodnika, nic nie słychać co mówi… sorry, ale organizacyjnie wielki dramat. Po innych uczestnikach grupy było również widać wściekłość, gdyż liczyliśmy, że z przewodnikiem dużo się dowiemy o tym zamku i jego historii. Ale tak było tylko na początku. Aż strach pomyśleć, co się dzieje w południe, jak jest kumulacja zwiedzających. Niestety z perspektywy czasu nie wybrałbym już opcji z przewodnikiem. Na zamku dostaliśmy kupon na napój w parkowej restauracji. Jednakże napój jest darmowy pod warunkiem zamówienia dania głównego. Następnego dnia, również z przewodnikiem zwiedzaliśmy Peles i było rewelacyjnie. Zupełnie inna organizacja zwiedzania.

It was a terrible experience! You have to buy the ticket before you have a chance to notice the big line of people. In the line you are going forward step by step, but not just outside the castle! Inside you are stuck, theres no escape, no space even to move, hardly can breathe, just flow with the mass of people. Not recomended, DO NOT go insde!
