Amazing day out here for my husbands birthday. We prebooked tickets online and I would advise to do the same. It is very commercialised with lots of tourists in the town and market but it has a really cool and chilled vibe. The castle inside is amazing. You do have to pay extra for the torture chamber and lift wich isn't great but its not expensive either. The torture chamber is disturbing and creepy and it is definitely worth a visit. It is not the most impressive of castles to look at in the region but it is such an amazing and interesting place to visit with all the history and mythology about the place. We highly recommend and will be returning.

(Translated by Google) We traveled from Constanta and had high expectations. First, the overall impression... a castle like any other. Then: €24 entrance fee per adult is far too expensive! And then you're supposed to pay extra for the "torture chamber" and a tunnel accessible by elevator?! For each one! No way! So, for us, this visit was absolutely not worth it. Oh, and the tickets are only available from machines. We paid in cash and promptly ran into problems. The machine wouldn't give us change, froze up, and kept the 300 lei we had in our pocket. An annoyed woman reluctantly retrieved our money from the machine and directed us to another one that actually gave change. It's strange how she knew THAT one would do it without any problems. Okay, everyone has to decide for themselves if it's worth it. ;) (Original) Wir sind von Konstanza angereist und haben richtig was erwartet. Zuerst der Gesamteindruck...... eine Burg, wie jede andere auch. Dann: 24 Euro Eintritt pro Erwachsener viel zu teuer! Und dann soll man für die "Folterkammer" und einen Tunnel, der mit einem Fahrstuhl zu erreichen ist, noch extra zahlen?! Und zwar für jedes extra! Nein! Also für uns hat sich dieser Besuch absolut nicht gelohnt. Achso. Die Tickets gibt es nur von Automaten. Wir haben BAR bezahlt und prompt Probleme. Der Kasten gab das Rückgeld nicht raus, hing sich auf und hat mal unsere eingesteckten 300 Lei behalten. Eine genervte Dame hat uns dann widerwillig unser Geld aus der Kiste rausgeholt und uns an einen anderen Automaten verwiesen, der auch Rückgeld ausbezahlt. Komisch woher sie wußte, daß DER das ohne Probleme macht? Okay, jeder muß selber wissen, ob es ihm das wert ist. ;)

The castle on the hill is stunning, yet it still confuses me that there is no grand entrance. It is very compact, with a beautiful open area in the center. I personally cannot imagine this castle to be fit for a princess or a queen/ king. It was easy to walk through the castle, but there did not seem to be any crowd control. On a Friday afternoon, it was very busy. There were large groups of children, maybe school field trips, but they were simply running through the castle. For the price, it was ok, but personally I did not feel as though it a good return for my money. To me, I found little there in regards to Dracula... despite it being dubbed ^Dracula's castle'." There were 2 additional experiences, being a torture chamber and a secret passage pack, yet I did not purchase these, so I cannot speak on those. The entrance fee was already enough money. Driving into the town, you knew you reached a tourist attraction when you start to see multiple vendor tents and touristy shops, etc... leading to the ticket kiosks (which you could not avoid walking through to get there.) very nice castle,one of my favourites✌️✌️✌️✌️

(Translated by Google) Even though it's a mega-commercial and crowded place, it's worth a visit. It's best to go before opening time, as it's very crowded. The castle is well-preserved, very atmospheric, full of nooks and crannies, and has many narrow passages. The torture exhibition boasts a rich collection of exhibits. It's worth buying tickets online, which gives you priority entry into the castle. So we didn't have to wait in the massive queue. We bought tickets for everything, but it's not necessary, as there's a vending machine in the castle before each exhibition (torture, corridor of time). I highly recommend it! (Original) Mimo, że mega komercyjne i oblegane miejsce to warto je odwiedzić. Najlepiej wybrać przed otwarciem, bo jest bardzo dużo ludzi. Zamek jest świetnie zachowany, bardzo klimatyczny, pełen zakamarków, dużo wąskich przejść. Bogata kolekcja eksponatów na wystawie tortur. Warto kupić bilety w necie, co daje pierwszeństwo do wejścia do zamku. Więc nie staliśmy w tej giga kolejce. Kupiliśmy bilety na wszystko ale to nie jest konieczne bo w zamku przed każdą wystawą (tortury, korytarz czasu) jest automat gdzie można kupić bilet. Polecam!

(Translated by Google) Not interactive enough. Not recommended for those who are not history buffs. Very expensive for the value. (Original) לא מספיק אינטראקטיבי. לא מומלץ למי שלא חובב היסטוריה. יקר מאוד ביחס לתמורה.

This was an ultimate bucket list place to visit as I adore cultural myths, legends and folklore and Romania has so much of this! I was surprised the castle was smaller than anticipated and there wasn’t that much to see inside. In honesty I wouldn’t recommend paying for the torture chamber or time tunnel as it’s things you can look up online. The general entry ticket is enough. Despite online reviews I’ve read about extremely long queues, there were possibly 10 people ahead of us at the castle doors which cleared within a minute. We visited on a Saturday at 10:45 and managed to get through the castle, read the information with the exhibits, visit the torture chamber and take plenty of photos in the court yard by 12:00. I regret not venturing the gardens, it looked like it was closed as canvas tents were being erected.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting. We liked our English speaking guide. The torture chambers are very interesting. You can skip the time tunnel. (Original) Zelo zanimivo. Všeč nam je bila naša vodička za angleški jezik. Mučilnice zelo zanimive. Time tunel lahko izpustite.
