It has an interesting story about it . It does require a lot of steps to get to and tour it. There narrator told the story but it's less about Dracula than most will expect and on the weekends it can be very crowded.

(Translated by Google) Bran Castle is one of the best spots to visit if you come to Romania, the downside is that there are too many people and it can be a bit confusing to enter. (Original) El castillo de Bran es uno de los mejores spots a visitar si vienes a Rumanía, lo malo es que hay demasiada gente y hay algo de confusión al entrar.

(Translated by Google) A friendly tip? Stay away from this castle. Or rather, don't visit it; just enjoy it from the outside and stroll through the park below. The expensive ticket is absolutely not worth it, and the long lines you'll have to endure to get in, and even inside, to visit the uninteresting rooms, will be unnerving. This is a typical example of overtourism for a mediocre destination, not worth visiting due to the cost and time it takes. There are many other castles and monuments that are untouched by the general public and truly interesting. Stay away from Dracula! (Original) Un consiglio da amico? State alla larga da questo castello. O meglio: non vistatelo, limitatevi a goderlo dall'esterno e a passeggiare per il parco sottostante. Il costoso biglietto non vale assolutamente la pena di essere acquistato e la lunga coda che dovrete sopportare per entrare e, anche ll'interno, per visitare le sale senza alcun interesse, vi snerverà. Questo è un tipico esempio di overtourism per una meta mediaocre, che non vale la pena visitare per il costo e il tempo che impone. Esistono molti altri castelli o monumenti non aggrediti dal grande pubblico e davvero interessanti. Alla larga da Dracula!

(Translated by Google) We visited the famous Bran Castle in Romania! We were thrilled to see how well it's maintained: the castle is truly well-maintained, and the surrounding grounds are incredibly beautiful, clean, and cozy. A stunning place with a special atmosphere and magnificent views! (Original) Посетили знаменитый замок Бран в Румынии! Очень порадовало, в каком отличном состоянии его поддерживают: за замком действительно ухаживают, а окружающая территория невероятно красивая, чистая и уютная. Потрясающее место с особой атмосферой и великолепными видами!

(Translated by Google) Two weeks ago, I visited Bran Castle with my family. We had high expectations given the popularity of the place, but unfortunately, we started at the paid parking lot, which costs 8 lei (1.60 euros) per hour. We then went to buy the ticket, where there was no one to ask for information because there were totems. The castle can be visited on four different routes, and the standard one costs 120 lei (24 euros) for adults and 60 lei (12 euros) for children (I think a tour of the entire castle costs around 100 euros for an adult). After a long, endless line, we entered to visit the castle. There were a lot of stairs, people in front of and behind us, and overall, not much to see for the price we paid. Even the torture chamber had a separate cost. We were very disappointed. There are better places to visit that are even cheaper. (Original) Due settimane fa ho visitato il castello Bran insieme alla mia famiglia. Le aspettative erano tante vista la popolarità del luogo ma purtroppo siamo partiti dal parcheggio a pagamento di 8 lei (1,60 euro) all'ora.Siamo poi andati a fare il biglietto dove non c'era nessuno a chiedere un informazione in quanto c'erano i totem. Il castello e visitabile con 4 percorsi e il standard costa 120 lei (24 euro) per adulto e 60 lei (12 euro) per bambino (credo che la visita del intero castello ammonta sui 100 euro per un adulto). Dopo una lunga fila infinita di attesa siamo entrati a visitare il castello dove c'erano un sacco di scale , persone davanti e dietro di noi e tutto sommato poco da vedere per il prezzo pagato. Persino la stanza della tortura aveva un costo a parte dal biglietto. Siamo rimasti molto delusi. Ci sono posti migliori da visitare che costano anche di meno.

Absolutely not recommendable, nor interesting, fake news about Dracula, which was imposed from outside. Just as a castle is far too expensive and nothing really special.

The organization of visits to the castle could definitely be improved. External guides are no longer allowed inside, so if you're part of an organized group, the guided talk happens outside the castle. You can pay extra for a tour with one of the castle’s guides, but those are only offered in Romanian or English. The queues are very long - we waited about an hour and a half just to get in. Fast line tickets are available, but they only help you reach the entrance faster. After that, both lines merge anyway, and the so-called “barrier” is often ignored by visitors who didn’t even buy fast line tickets. Inside, there’s no real limit on how many people are allowed in, so it gets extremely crowded. You move through the castle packed tightly with everyone else, with no chance to step aside or take your time. Emergency exit signs? Non existent. Honestly, you just hope nothing happens that would require an evacuation. The staff were rude, and communication was very difficult - it wasn’t clear whether it was because of the language barrier or simply a lack of willingness to help foreign visitors. The rooms are narrow, and again, too many people are allowed in at once. There was a lot of pushing, mostly from visitors trying to take photos for social media rather than actually see the place. Staff didn’t step in to manage the situation, which made the whole experience feel uncomfortable and, at times, unsafe.

(Translated by Google) We arrived with 2 children aged 8 and 10 by car. There is paid parking right nearby. We booked tickets in advance because we heard there were long lines at the entrance, it didn't seem that bad. You have to go through a beautifully maintained garden to get to the entrance to the castle. And here it gets crowded... Everyone is crowded and trying to move forward, to see family photos of the Romanian royal family, and the story behind it. Less suitable for children... They were really bored and we weren't blown away by the atmosphere either. There is an option to enter a torture chamber display for an additional fee and luckily we didn't go for it.... After we left the castle we discovered that there was a beautiful garden outside with a medieval display, an arena with two people fighting. Music that matches the period, a blacksmith, a goldsmith and a potter and very nice mini-games and here the children and we really enjoyed ourselves. The adjacent market is nice and varied and doesn't seem to be that expensive compared to the tourist markets we've been to before. (Original) הגענו עם 2 ילדים בגילאים 8 ו-10 ברכב. קיימת חנייה בתשלום ממש בקרבת מקום. הזמנו כרטיסים מראש כי שמענו שיש תורים ארוכים בכניסה, לא נראה שהיה נורא כל כך. יש לעבור גן מטופח ויפה על מנת להגיע לכניסה לטירה. וכאן זה נהיה צפוף... כולם צפופים ומנסים להתקדם, על מנת לראות תמונות משפחתיות של משפחת מלוכה רומנית, והסיפור מאחוריה. פחות מתאים לילדים... הם השתעממו ממש וגם אנחנו לא עפנו מהאווירה. יש אופציה להכנס לתצוגת חדר עינויים בתוספת תשלום ומזל שלא הלכנו על זה.... לאחר שיצאנו מהטירה גילנו שיש גן יפיפה בחוץ עם תצוגת ימי הביניים, זירה עם שני אנשים נלחמים. מוזיקה שתואמת את התקופה, נפח, צורף וקדרית ומיני משחקים נחמדים מאוד וכאן הילדים ואנחנו ממש נהננו. השוק הצמוד נחמד ומגוון ונראה שלא יקר כל כך ביחס לשווקים של תיירות שעברנו בהם לפני.
