Reviews for Bran Castle

Product: Bran Castle

(Translated by Google) It's more worthwhile from the outside than the inside. Two hours in line despite having a pre-booked time. Once inside, it was incredibly crowded and we were constantly queuing. Very unpleasant. (Original) Vale más la pena por fuera que por dentro. Dos horas de cola teniendo reservada la hora previamente. Una vez dentro visitando sin espacio y en cola todo el rato. Muy poco disfrutable.

(Translated by Google) Don't go there under any circumstances. It's a tourist trap. We waited an hour and a half in the freezing cold (-5°C) but we were never able to get in because of the queue, even though we had paid a fortune for our tickets (20 euros, 100 lei). And it was a Monday, too. (Original) N'y allez surtout pas. C'est un attrape touriste. Nous avons attendu 1h30 dans le froid (-5C°) mais nous n'avons jamais pu rentrer à cause de la queue, alors que nous avions acheté notre billet très cher (20 euros, 100 lei). Pourtant c'était un lundi

(Translated by Google) The castle itself is beautiful and the tour is interesting. It has nothing to do with Dracula. Overall, it's overrated, and all the cheap tourist junk in the village is annoying! The queue is a nightmare!! Extremely poorly organized. Despite having booked time slots in advance, we waited for 1.5 hours. They make money by selling additional priority tickets. This means that with regular tickets, you have to wait even longer because everyone else pushes past you. Pure profiteering. I don't understand why time slots even have to be booked. Nobody cares, and nobody manages the crowds. Anyone who doesn't want to go through the expensive, additionally paid time tunnel has to descend via the regular route and squeeze through the priority queue. How can they be so stupid as to market the descent as a priority ascent? Chaos is guaranteed!! (Original) Die Burg selbst ist schön und der Rundgang interessant. Mit Dracula hat sie nichts zu tun. Insgesamt überbewertet und der ganze billige Touristenramsch im Dorf nervt! Die Warteschlange ist ein Albtraum!! Extrem schlecht organisiert. Trotz vorab gebuchten Timeslots standen wir 1,5 Stunden an. Sie machen Geld indem sie zusätzlich Priority Tickets verkaufen. Das führt dazu, daß man mit regulären Tickets noch länger ansteht, weil alle anderen an einem vorbeidrängen. Reine Geldmacherei. Warum überhaupt Zeitslots gebucht werden müssen verstehe ich nicht. Es interessiert niemanden und keiner regelt den Ansturm. Wer nicht durch den teuren zustzlich zu bezahlenden Timetunnel will, muss über den regulären Weg wieder absteigen, und muss sich an der Priorityschlange durchzwängen. Wie kann man so blöd sein den Abstieg als Priorityaufstieg zu vermarkten. Chaos vorprogrammiert!!

Tourist trap 100%, paid the standard access ticket to visit at 14:00 and stayed in queue for 100meters during 1h 30 just to get close to the entance to the castle, at 15h 30. It was freezing and meanwhile people were paying to "upgrade" their ticket for premium access, which costed 60/100leis more, or simply abandoning the queue. In the end we also left because we also needed to catch the bus, and didn't see anything... They are overcrowding the place and don't care if the people who reserved/paid get in or not, they take your money and would let you freeze outside for all they care.

Big disappointment. We had to wait over 1.5h to get in, even after we bought our tickets about a month ago to a specific time. Inside was nothing special and were a lot of people. That many that everyone was just going in line and taking photos of a couple cool things. Also if you travel by yourself it's not really easy to get there from Bucharest... But, Castle from outside is pretty.

Tourist Trap! Bought tickets ahead of the visit, then informed by the guide to buy fast pass tickets as the queue was huge. Even with this, it took a sizeable amount of time to enter the castle (with lots of people pushing in) as no people management. Once in, the massive queue of people push you around the castle with no time to appreciate the surroundings. Total waste of money and not worth it. Just take a photo from the outside instead.

(Translated by Google) Bran Castle (not Vlad the Impaler's, let alone Dracula's, as the guidebook states). Terrible experience. It takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes to get from the ticket office to the actual entrance. Inside, it's unlivable: people are let in uncontrolled, thus preventing you from enjoying the attraction, the various rooms, etc. It's incredibly tiring to see little or nothing. Even the exit is poorly managed: you have to go down through the entrance line. The price, in my opinion, is very high. €20 for an adult ticket, which doesn't give you access to everything: there are two additional rooms (a torture chamber and an additional room) for an additional €10 each. Poorly managed, to sell as many tickets as possible, sacrificing the visitor experience; a shame because the castle is beautiful. I recommend visiting Peles Castle instead, which is a much better experience. (Original) Castello Bran (non di vlad l'impalatore e tantomeno di Dracula come riportato dalla guida). Esperienza pessima. Circa 1h e 45min per fare il tragitto dalla biglietteria all'entrata effettiva. All'interno invivibile: le persone vengono fatte entrare incontrollatamente, pertanto, non si riesce a godere l'attrazione, le varie stanze, ecc. Si fatica moltissimo per vedere poco o nulla. Pure l'uscita é gestita male: occorre scendere passando attraverso la coda per l'ingresso. Prezzo, a mio parere, molto alto. 20€ per biglietto adulto il quale non da accesso a tutto: ci sono due ulteriori stanze (stanza torture e un ulteriore stanza) al costo aggiuntivo di 10€ ciascuna. Gestito malissimo, per vendere quanti più biglietti possibile sacrificando l'esperienza del visitatore; peccato perchéil castello é bello. Consiglio invece di visitare il castello di peles, decisamente meglio come esperienza

(Translated by Google) They let people in almost without restrictions. It is unpleasant, specifically the intrusion and misery of walking through the building. Parking is also a disaster. You have to choose your time very carefully and buy your ticket online in advance. (Original) Szinte korlátlanul engedik be az embereket. Élvezhetetlen, konkrétan a tolakodás és a nyomorgás az épület bejárása. A parkolás is katasztrófa. Nagyon jól kell választani időpontot és előre meg kell venni online a jegyet.

The castle is incredible. I recommend the experience. But the experience was really bad, we buy the tickets online and at the moment to entrance they tray to charge more for fast line (we paid the priority access). We make the line 2 hours to try to entrance. The people aren’t friendly, they are super rude

(Translated by Google) A day trip from Bucharest. The best time to go is from evening to night. (Original) Bucharestから日帰り。 夕方から夜にかけてが良いタイミングかな

It's interesting, it's comfortably decorated for the New Year, but it's too crowded and the transport accessibility is not the best.
