Nice place to visit when in Romania. A bit of a tourist trap at tomes, but not to much. Inside was some disappointing, but great outdoors ☀️

(Translated by Google) A beautiful site, perfectly maintained and remarkably preserved. The castle is magnificent and its atmosphere is truly unique. The visit is enjoyable and allows you to discover a place steeped in history. However, I was a little disappointed by the lack of explanations during the visit. I would have loved to learn more about the castle's history, its inhabitants, and the legends surrounding it. Audio guides or other materials would have made the experience even more enriching. It's also worth noting that this castle was not Dracula's residence. However, it greatly contributed to inspiring Bram Stoker's famous novel, which explains its worldwide renown. Nevertheless, I leave with beautiful images in my mind, but also with a certain frustration at not having been able to delve deeper into the fascinating history of this place. Not suitable for people with disabilities; there are many stairs to climb, some of them quite narrow. The €30 entrance fee is unjustified. History: Its nickname, "Dracula's Castle," comes primarily from Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. The author never visited it, but its appearance closely matched the image of the castle imagined in his book. As for Vlad III the Impaler, who inspired the character of Dracula, there is no proof that he lived in the castle; he may have simply passed through. Bran Castle is first and foremost an authentic medieval fortress associated with the history of Romania. Its connection to Dracula is more a matter of legend and tourism than historical fact. 🏰🧛‍♂️ (Original) Très beau site, parfaitement entretenu et remarquablement conservé. Le château est magnifique et son atmosphère est vraiment particulière. La visite est agréable et permet de découvrir un lieu chargé d’histoire. J’ai toutefois été un peu déçue par le manque d’explications pendant la visite. J’aurais beaucoup aimé en apprendre davantage sur l’histoire du château, ses occupants et les légendes qui l’entourent. Des audio guidés ou de supports auraient rendu l’expérience encore plus enrichissante. Il est également intéressant de rappeler que ce château n’a pas été la résidence de Dracula. En revanche, il a largement contribué à inspirer le célèbre roman de Bram Stoker, ce qui explique sa renommée mondiale. Je repars malgré tout avec de très belles images en tête, mais aussi avec une certaine frustration de ne pas avoir pu approfondir davantage l’histoire fascinante de ce lieu. Ne convient pas à des personnes présentant des handicaps beaucoup d’escaliers à monter, certains exigus le tarif de 30 € pour la visite ne se justifie pas Pour l’histoire Son surnom de « château de Dracula » vient surtout du roman Dracula de Bram Stoker. L’auteur ne l’a jamais visité, mais son apparence correspondait bien à l’image du château imaginé dans son livre. Quant à Vlad III l’Empaleur, qui a inspiré le personnage de Dracula, rien ne prouve qu’il ait vécu au château ; il y serait peut-être simplement passé. le château de Bran est avant tout une forteresse médiévale authentique associée à l’histoire de la Roumanie. Son lien avec Dracula relève davantage de la légende et du tourisme que de la réalité historique. 🏰🧛‍♂️

This catle story made most of from Hollywood ..It has nothing to do with real history. Dracula was a cruel and ruthless feudal lord of his time, particularly responsible for the massacre of innocent Muslim people. He grew up in the palace in Istanbul but later betrayed it. Consequently, he was arrested and executed by Sultan Mehmed II.

(Translated by Google) I visited this castle right after seeing the wonderful Peles Castle. The exterior is very unique, perched on this rock, and it's a beautiful sight. Unfortunately, the interior is very bare; however, anyone passing by should stop and see it. For those choosing between this and Peles Castle, in my opinion, Peles is much more beautiful. (Original) Ho visitato questo castello subito dopo aver visto il meraviglioso castello di Peles.. esternamente è molto particolare, posizionato su questa roccia ha un bel colpo d'occhio. Purtroppo Internamente è molto spoglio, in ogni caso, per chi passa di lì è consigliato fermarsi per vederlo. Per chi deve scegliere tra questo e quello di Peles, a parer mio Peles è molto più bello

Beautiful location. Narrow stairwell within the castle, so just be prepared to wait a bit during peak travel season. A lovely historical site with shops and dining nearby.

(Translated by Google) Famous only for its association with Dracula (even though it's not actually Count Vlad's castle), the visit is quite disappointing given the price. If you're interested in visiting a castle like this, there are other, much less expensive options in the area. (Original) È famoso solo perché è associato all'immagine di Dracula (anche se non è il vero castello del conte Vlad), visita abbastanza deludente per il prezzo. Se vi interessa visitare un castello di questo tipo ci sono altre opzioni sicuramente meno costose nella zona.

Sadly, it indeed is a tourist trap. Everything around Bran has been turned into a market for tourists. The exhibitions in the castle also cater much more to children, trying to be “spooky” much too often. It’s definitely not worth the 100 lei entrance fee - and remember that to see the torture chamber, you need to fork out another 30 lei! Skip it - go to Peles Castle instead. Or at least make sure you don’t choose Bran Castle over Peles Castle.
