(Translated by Google) We visited the so-called "Dracula's Castle," which has nothing to do with Dracula except the marketing. It's a small castle, not very well maintained, with four recreations of antique furniture. The first exhibit focuses somewhat on the history of the castle and Romania, but halfway through, the historical information dwindles, and they start telling stories about random myths with poor-quality projector images. The castle's main attraction, Dracula, has a room with a blurry projector and an extremely loud speaker that makes crow noises. This is not only disappointing but insulting to people who came solely for Dracula. What's truly surprising is that the souvenir shop, which you'd expect to try to sell Dracula trinkets to trick people, is tiny and sells hardly anything. The truth is, it's practically a scam. The marketing isn't technically fake, but it's obvious the tour is just a setup to rip people off, period. The joke costs €20, by the way. If you're visiting Romania, don't come. It's a waste of time and an insult to consumers. (Original) Hemos visitado el supuesto "Castillo de Drácula", que de Drácula lo único que tiene es el marketing. Es una castillo pequeño, que no parece muy bien cuidado y que tiene 4 recreaciones de muebles antiguos. La primeras exposición se centra un poco en la historia del castillo y en la de Rumanía, pero a partir de la mitad se acaban los datos históricos y te empiezan a contar historias sobre mitos aleatorios con imágenes de proyector pochas. El principal atractivo del castillo, Drácula, tiene una avitacion con un proyector que se ve borroso y un altavoz altísimo que hace ruidos de cuervo. Esto no solo es decepcionante, si no qué resulta insultante para la gente que a venido solamente por Drácula. Lo que realmente es sorprendente es que la tienda de souvenirs, que esperarías intentase vender cacharros de Drácula para engañar ha la gente, es pequeña y apenas venden nada. La verdad es que es prácticamente una estafa, el marketing no es técnicamente falso pero se nota que la visita está montada para cobrar a la gente y punto, 20€ cuesta la broma por cierto. Si visitáis Rumanía no vengáis, es una perdida de tiempo y un insulto como consumidor.

(Translated by Google) We visited Bran Castle and were pleasantly impressed by the entire experience. On the 1st floor we met Mrs. Elena, a very kind, calm and professional person. She gave us clear instructions and made our visit more enjoyable with her warm and patient attitude. It is clear that she does her job with passion and respect for tourists. Such people contribute a lot to the beautiful image of the castle. Congratulations to Mrs. Elena and the whole team! We will be back with pleasure! 👏 (Original) Am vizitat Castelul Bran și am rămas plăcut impresionați de întreaga experiență.

Se vede că își face meseria cu pasiune și respect pentru turiști. Astfel de oameni contribuie mult la imaginea frumoasă a castelului. Felicitări doamnei Elena și întregii echipe!

(Translated by Google) We visited Bran Castle and had a very pleasant experience. We were greeted with great warmth and hospitality by Laura, an extremely nice and attentive girl. She very kindly helped us to get to the upper floor more easily, because part of our group, coming from Constanța, could not go through the secret staircase due to claustrophobia. She showed understanding, patience and professionalism. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Such people really deserve to be appreciated. Congratulations to the entire team – everyone was very kind! Congratulations to the people of Bran! We look forward to seeing you at the seaside! 🌊 (Original) Am vizitat Castelul Bran și am avut o experiență foarte plăcută. Am fost întâmpinați cu multă căldură și ospitalitate de Laura, o fată extrem de drăguță și atentă. Ne-a ajutat cu mare amabilitate să ajungem mai ușor la etaj, deoarece o parte din grupul nostru, veniți de la Constanța, nu puteau trece pe scara secretă din cauza claustrofobiei. A dat dovadă de înțelegere, răbdare și profesionalism. Mulțumim din suflet! Astfel de oameni chiar merită apreciați. Felicitări întregii echipe – toată lumea a fost foarte amabilă! Felicitări brănenilor! Vă așteptăm cu drag la mare! 🌊

(Translated by Google) We got there, the parking lot was super crowded, all the places were paid. After we managed to pay for the parking, we got to the point where we bought the tickets. 100 ron/person ticket to enter the castle, the same price for the ticket if you just want to walk in the park below. I didn't understand the logic. We had 2 small dogs and we hoped to be allowed to go for a walk near the castle. It wasn't possible. The only option was to pay 200 ron and walk in the park 😅 unreal. (Original) Am ajuns acolo,parcarea super aglomerata toate locurile cu plata. Dupa ce am reusit sa platim parcarea,am ajuns la punctul de unde se cumpara biletele. 100 ron/persoana bilet ca sa poti intra la castel,acelasi pret pentru bilet daca vrei sa te plimbi doar in parcul se jos. Nu am inteles logica. Noi am avut 2 catei de talie mica si am sperat sa fim lasati sa mergem sa ne plimbam pe langa castel. Nu s-a putut. Singura varianta era sa platim 200 ron si sa ne plimbam in parc 😅 ireal.

Nice castle specially for kids who have seen Hotel Transylvania- in reality however seems to be no connection. The outside is also for a walk and taking pictures.

(Translated by Google) The architecture is well preserved, but it has been over-restored with very invasive materials; likewise, the display of certain objects doesn't look very authentic, but it is interesting. (Original) La arquitectura se conserva bien, pero ya está demasiado restaurado de materiales muy invasivos; así como la exhibición de de ciertos objetos no se ven tan auténticos, pero está interesante.

(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed the castle tour! A truly magical place full of history. The architecture is impressive and the atmosphere was straight out of a movie. A huge thank you to our guide Doralina, a wonderful and kind person who was very patient with us and without whom we would not have had this amazing experience! We can't wait to revisit the place and its surroundings! (Original) Mi-a plăcut extraordinar de mult turul castelului! Un loc cu adevărat magic și încărcat de istorie. Arhitectura este impresionantă, iar atmosfera a fost desprinsă din filme. Mulțumim enorm doamnei ghid Doralina, o persoană minunată și binevoitoare, care a fost foarte răbdătoare cu noi și fără de care nu am fi avut această experiență uimitoare! Abia așteptăm să revizităm locul și împrejurimile!

They charge for entry; you can’t get close unless you pay the admission fee. Very touristy, with lots of shops selling Bran souvenirs.

(Translated by Google) One of the main destinations of the trip that didn't disappoint. Obviously, you can't expect it to remain completely original, but it's worth it. Like many other sites in Romania, they heavily emphasize the fictional character of Dracula. Here, Vlad Tepes is actually given a little more space. (Original) Una delle mete principali del viaggio che non ha deluso. Ovviamente non ci si può aspettare che sia rimasta totalmente originale ma ne vale la pena. Come molti altri siti in Romania battono molto sul personaggio inventato di Dracula. Qui in realtà si da un po’ più di spazio a Vlad Tepes

Skip it. There are much better castles in Europe. Vlad the Impaler did not live in Bran Castle. While popular tourism promotes it as "Dracula’s Castle," most historians agree Vlad III never lived there, with only tenuous connections—if any—that he passed through or was briefly imprisoned there. His actual residence was the remote Poenari Fortress.

(Translated by Google) Overrated. Too touristy. This Dracula, which you find in every possible way, is almost touching. It's a shame about the castle, which is truly majestic. (Original) Sopravvalutato. Troppo turistico. Sto Dracula, che te lo ritrovi in tutte le salse, fa quasi tenerezza. Peccato per il castello, davvero maestoso
