Reviews for Bran Castle

(Translated by Google) A total tourist trap; it's sad what's become of such a beautiful historical place. Disneyland for the poor (er, rich, it's expensive). It looks lovely from the outside, it's free, and you can get so much more for your money elsewhere! (Original) Maximale Touristenfalle, traurig was aus so einem schönen historischen Ort gemacht geworden ist. Disneyland für arme. (äh, reiche, ist teuer). Von außen sehr schön, kostenlos und für das Geld bekommt man anderswo deutlich mehr geboten!

This incredible castle was completed in 1388 features 57 timbered rooms connected by secret passages, narrow winding stairways and a rich collection of furniture, weapons and armor dating from the 14th to the 19th centuries. Bran Castle is often associated with the fictional vampire Count Dracula. The Romanian castle resembles Castle Dracula, as described in Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula (1897) in that both stand on rocky precipices and command spectacular views. But Stoker, an Irish writer, is not known to have ever visited Transylvania. Moreover Vlad the Impaler (Vlad III Dracula) who is the historical personage most closely identified with Stoker’s Dracula never ruled Bran Castle although some sources claim that he was held prisoner there for two months. Vlad's grandson of Mircea the Old was a 15th-century voivode of Walachia. Our tickets included the 'Time Tunnel' elevator which was built inside the castle's 17th-century 59-meter deep well shaft. It transported us from the courtyard down to a 30-meter-long tunnel featuring a 100% Romanian-designed multimedia projection show with themes of history, ghosts, and fire ending in the Royal Park. Bran castle only welcomes a limited number of visitors each day so buying tickets in advance is highly recommended.

A bit underwhelming to be honest. Felt a bit 'fake' or like a museum instead of being a historic piece.

(Translated by Google) A castle that commands a very high price. For 40 euros you can see everything. Mass tourism. (Original) Ein Schloss was sich sehr gut bezahlen lässt. Für 40 Euro darf man sich alles anschauen. Massentourismus .

I fully recommend coming here if you enjoy a good spooky story, and lots of history. The castle is accessible by car and even by bus. The grounds themselves are very beautiful. They’re large and have a nice scenic pond. The entrance is easy to get to, but you do have to go through some outdoor shops where they offer lots of souvenirs. They have ATMs available if need be. Once you arrive at the grounds, the walk to the castle is easy if you’re in relatively good shape. If not, just take your time. Once you’re to the top you will be greeted by the open door beckoning you into the castle. We really enjoyed our time in the castle! It’s expansive and the rooms are decorated nicely. The information signs do have English and other languages. We loved the outdoor area at the top of the castle which shows you a birds eye view of the surrounding village. You also get to walk through a fun “monster” type of room with information about urban legends and some fun lights. At the end you can also sit down in the courtyard area of the castle and can take some nice photos and enjoy the beauty of the castle. They do have a gift shop once you leave if you want to buy something. Overall, we really enjoyed the beautiful nature surrounding the castle and the history of the castle itself! Definitely stop by if you can.

(Translated by Google) The castle's location and appearance are interesting due to its age. The Dracula legend doesn't need it, and in fact, the interior features an overly artificial and contrived display. It's best to visit in the afternoon. The tour is clearly marked and takes about half an hour. There are fewer people then. Downstairs, there are numerous food and souvenir stalls. (Original) El lugar y la imagen del castillo son interesantes por su antigüedad. La leyenda de Dracula no lo necesita y de hecho hay un montaje dentro demasiado artificial y forzado. Mejor visitarlo por la tarde. La visita esta indicada y se ce en media hora. Hay menos gente. Abajo multitud de puestos de comida y souvenirs.

(Translated by Google) I thought it would be bigger, but it's small, cramped, and the rooms are empty. It's not the real castle. Built just for tourists... a bit disappointed. (Original) Creí que sería más grande, pero es pequeño, estrecho y las salas vacías. No es el verdadero castillo. Construido solo para turistas...un poco decepcionados.

(Translated by Google) Contrary to the well-known legend, we discovered upon arrival that it does have a story. It evokes a strong sense of lived experience. The narrow tunnels, the spiked apparatus resembling a torture chair, and the centuries-old piano were the things that impressed us the most. There's a very long queue to enter; you need to buy a ticket to get in. (Original) Bilinen efsanenin aksine bir hikayeye sahip olduğunu gidince görmüş olduk. İçinde yoğun bir yaşanmışlık hissi yaratıyor. Dar tünelleri işkence sandalyesine benzeyen dikenli düzenek ve birkaç yüzyıllık piyanosu bizi en çok etkileyen şeyler oldu. Girerken çok sıra bekleniyor bilet alıp girilmesi gerekiyor.

(Translated by Google) Interesting tour, I recommend taking a walk around the surroundings as well (Original) Zaujímavá prehliadka, odporúčam prejsť si aj okolie

(Translated by Google) I paid for the tickets twice. I paid at the machine and they didn't give me a ticket. I asked the cashier what happened. They gave me a phone number and said that the money was between the bank and the castle and that they would give it back in 7 days. So I paid again at the cashier's office. 4 months passed and they didn't give me any money back from the card. I filed a complaint with the castle. They said to send proof. I sent it and nothing. Unserious. (Original) Am plătit biletele de două ori .Am plătit la aparat și nu mi a dat bilet am vb la casa ce s-a întâmplat au dat un tel și a zis ca bani sunt între bancă și castel și ca ii da înapoi în 7 zile așa ca am plătit încă o data la caserie , au trecut 4 luni nu mi au dat nici un ban înapoi de pe card am făcut reclamație la castel au zis să trimit dovezi am trimis și nimic. Neserioși
