Reviews for Bran Castle

Way too many people....so many that members of our group felt claustrophobic and left the castle. Very touristy and there is a hint of deception in the name as the source of the Dracula story, Vlad the Impaler, only spent two weeks at the castle. Over all...unless you are the first in line....a disappointing visit. Read the negative reviews....they are true.

(Translated by Google) We set off from Bucharest in the morning, first visiting Pekel Castle, then embarking on an amazing journey through the forest to Bran Castle. The entrance fees for Dracula's Castle are a bit high: €17 for adults and €8 for students. The village surrounding the castle offers many beautiful places to explore. Not just the castle, but the entire route is like something out of a fairy tale. (Original) Bükreş ten sabah yola çıktık önce Pekel kalesini ziyaret ettik ardından orman içinde müthiş bir yolculuk yapıp bran kalesine ulaştık. Drakula kalesi giriş ücretleri biraz yüksek. yetişkin 17euro öğrenci 8 Euro. Kale çevresinde bulunan köyde güzel gezilebilecek yerler mevcut. Sadece kale değil rotanın kendisi masal gibi

There are performances like Vlad is a vampire as promotion. This is a conflict with reality.

(Translated by Google) Disappointing! It's a completely skippable visit. Very touristy, but there's nothing truly surprising inside. The beauty lies in the exterior facade. Inside, it's just another castle, with its bedroom, its living room with a fireplace... The only thing we found interesting was the torture chamber, which can easily be seen in 5-10 minutes, and entry requires a supplement of 20 lei per person on top of the BASIC ticket, without access to the chronological elevator (+30 lei), which, by the way, is already extremely expensive (90 lei) even for the simplest ticket. It's important to clarify that "Dracula" (Vlad Tepes) NEVER LIVED in this castle; that's why it's called the fake Dracula's castle and is solely geared towards tourism. (Original) Decepcionante! Es una visita totalmente prescindible. Muy enfocado al turismo, pero no hay nada realmente sorprendente dentro. Lo bonito está en la fachada exterior. Dentro es un castillo más, con su dormitorio, su salón con chimenea...Lo único que nos ha parecido interesante es la sala de tortura, que se puede ver fácilmente en 5/10 minutos, y para entrar se exige un suplemento de 20 leis por persona sobre la entrada BÁSICA, sin acceso al ascensor cronológico (+ 30 leis), que por cierto, ya siendo la entrada más sencilla, es carísima (90 leis). Es importante aclarar que "Drácula" (Vlad Tepes), NUNCA HA VIVIDO en este castillo, por eso se le dice falso castillo de Drácula y está únicamente enfocado al turismo.

The worst tourist trap I have EVER Seen! I‘m from germany and I have Seen and visited many castles in my life - some really old ones, some newer palaises and palasts or royal residencies, some were ruins, some in really good condition. All the interior in This Castle is a replica - nothing is originally from the medieval ages. Only some (few) furniture pieces were from the 18th or 19th century. There‘s plastic bats hanging from the ceiling everywhere. Each Room has a projector going with some poorly made CGI Effects of „spooky“ scenes. We paid 30€ entry fee each, which (to me) is REALLY expensive considering you dont even get a guided tour for that Price. The whole thing is giving ~TRASHY~ vibes.

(Translated by Google) I had a hard time with the stairs you had to climb but it was worth the effort. It was designed more like a queen's residence than a military fortress. The torture room is impressive. (Original) Ταλαιπωρηθικα αρκετα με τα σκαλοπατια που χρειζεται να ανεβεις αλλα αξιζε τον κοπο. Διαμορφωθηκε περισσοτερο σαν κατοικια της βασιλισας παρα σαν στρατιωτικο οχυρο. Εντυπωσιακο το torture room.

Enjoyed learning the history of the castle but liked pretending I was there to sneak up on Dracula even more :-)
