(Translated by Google) Very basic for what was expected! It felt cartoonish!! Finally, a Dracula Show! (Original) Muy básico para lo que se espera! Lo sentí caricaturesco!! Al fin un Show de Drácula!

Impressive castle and very nice surrounding garden.

(Translated by Google) It was a place I really wanted to visit. Besides the standard ticket, you need an extra ticket to see the torture chambers. It's worth the trip. (Original) Ziyaret etmeyi çok istediğim bir yerdi. Standart bilet dışında işkence odalarını görmek istiyorsanız ek bilet alıyorsunuz. Gezmeye değer.

(Translated by Google) It's not very nice inside; they should allow access to the green areas without having to pay the entrance fee to the castle, because the castle itself isn't very attractive inside. (Original) No es muy bonito por dentro, debería dejar entrar a las zonas verdes sin tener que pagar la entrada al castillo, porque el Castillo en sí por dentro no tiene mucho atractivo.

Amazing experience! We've learned a lot about the castle and its history from the staff, Gigi and Doina. Many thanks!!!

(Translated by Google) Interesting place. I would say it's more like a place for advertising Count Dracula or the afterlife. In front of the castle itself there are many stalls so it looks like a fair. Opening hours are from 9am. Tickets can be purchased in cash or by card. The tour takes up to an hour. (Original) Interesantno mesto. Pre bi rekao mesto za reklamu grofa Drakule ili u zagrobni život. Ispred samoga dvorca je mnoštvo prodajnih tezgi pa sve liči na vašar. Radno vreme je od 09h. Karte se mogu kupiti u kešu ili karticom. Za obilazak vam treba do sat vremena.

(Translated by Google) Here we are, reviewing a place that to call touristy is probably a compliment. From the outside, it's very beautiful, almost flawless. Except that it has absolutely nothing to do with Dracula. Vlad never lived here; his current castle is in a total state of ruin and is located far away from here, in southern Transylvania rather than the north. Inside, the rooms are furnished like your own home, with the walls and beams all recently redone. The torture chamber costs 20 lei, which is pointless to say the least; admission is 90 for adults and 50 for students. Twenty euros for this place is truly abhorrent and anything but well spent. Also considering that getting here, if not by car, is highly unlikely, except by a bus that's very poorly marked, both online and at the stops (there are no signs). If you're short on time, head to Peles Castle, a whole different story. There's a short line and numerous stairs to get in, with no other possible access. Tickets must be purchased in advance, but there's a line available there too. I went on a Friday morning, 30 minutes after opening. Below, before the entrance, there's a small square with a few kiosks, one of which has 5-lei magnets, but they don't accept credit cards. The price is very fair, unlike the castle, however. Visit only if you have nothing better to do; otherwise, a photo from the outside is fine! Enjoy your stay in Transylvania. (Original) Eccoci qua, a fare una recensione ad un posto che dirsi turistico è probabilmente un complimento. Da fuori, è molto bello, davvero quasi ineccepibile. Se non fosse che non ha nulla, ma proprio nulla, a che fare con Dracula. Vlad infatti non ha mai vissuto qui, il suo attuale castello è in totale stato di rovina e si trova molto lontano da qui, nella Transilvania del sud invece che nel nord. Dentro le stanze sono arredate come casa vostra probabilmente e muri e travi tutte rifatte da poco. Stanza delle torture a pagamento 20 lei, inutile a dir poco, ingresso adulti 90 e studenti 50. Venti euro per questo posto sono veramente abberranti e tutto fuorché ben spesi. Considerando anche che arrivare in questo posto, se non con la macchina è davvero improbabile, se non grazie a un bus davvero poco segnalato, sia online che le fermate (non ci sono cartelli). Se avete poco tempo, andate a quello di Peles di castello, tutt'altra storia. Piccola fila e numerose scale per entrare, senza altro accesso possibile. Biglietto da prendere in anticipo ma possibile, con fila, anche lì. Sono andato di venerdì mattina, 30 Min dopo l'apertura. Sotto, prima dell'ingresso, c'è una piazzetta con qualche chiosco, uno dei quali ha calamite a 5 lei, ma che non fa pagare con carta, prezzo molto onesto, a differenza del castello, tuttavia. Visitatelo solo se non avete di meglio da fare, altrimenti una foto da fuori va benissimo!!! Buon soggiorno in Transilvania.

It's just ok. I guess if you are really into Dracula you may enjoy it. It takes about 20 minutes to see the whole thing. Peles Castle is way, way better!

(Translated by Google) This is another tourist scam in Transylvania. The castle is very beautiful and evocative from the outside. The ticket price is quite high compared to the Romanian average, and the visit inside is very short. Another drawback is the number of people and tourists blocking the narrow corridors and stairways. It's widely advertised as "Dracula's Castle," but a simple internet search reveals that neither Dracula nor the author of the book ever visited this castle. In reality, Dracula's real castle is located a few kilometers from Bran Castle, but it's now in ruins. Overall, it's probably worth just seeing it from the outside, as it sits on a large rock high up. (Original) Anche questa un’altra truffa turistica che si trova in Transilvania. Il castello dall’esterno è molto bello e suggestivo. Il costo del biglietto è abbastanza elevato rispetto alla media in Romania e la visita al suo interno dura veramente poco. Altro punto a sfavore è la quantità di gente e turisti che bloccano il passaggio nei stretti corridoi e scalinate. Viene pubblicizzato molto come “il castello di Dracula”, quando effettuando una semplice ricerca su internet si scopre che in realtà né Dracula né l’autore del libro sono mai stati in questo castello. In realtà il vero castello di Dracula si trova a qualche chilometro da quello di Bran ma è ormai in rovina. Nel complesso, probabilmente vale la pena solo vederlo dall’esterno, essendo situato su una grande roccia in alto.

(Translated by Google) Seen from the outside because they say it's not worth it from the inside. Tickets (to visit the interior) can be purchased at the self-service machine or at the ticket office for 80 Lei (about 16 euros). (Original) Visto dall'esterno perché dall'interno dicono non valga la pena. I biglietti (per visitare l'interno) li puoi fare alla cassa automatica in maniera autonoma o in biglietteria a 80 Lei (16 euro circa)

There are much more beautiful castles and historical places in Romania than Bran Castle. In my point of view, it’s nice for children and school kids to visit but not adults that care about history. It’s extremely touristic for my taste and too crowded that you cannot see the detail and take some photos. There are lots of small souvenir shops outside that makes the area look like a huge bazar place. If you don’t have kids which they might like it I will not recommend it.

There are so many beautiful castles and fortified churches in Romania that the famous Bran castle was a disappointment. It is more a castle museum for children and schools that a history castle . Even it was Friday morning of mid April there were so many people inside that you could not even enjoy the castle as an old building
