Reviews for Bran Castle

We bought our tickets to visit the castle several weeks in advance. We had a lot of anticipation to visit that place, regardless of the fact that the castle has no relationship whatsoever with either Dracula or Vlad the Impaler (who was just once there as a prisoner). When purchasing the tickets, we were surprised to see that there was no way to select a date or time slot for the visit. We would have never imagined that there was such a lack of organisation for such a popular monument. 1h20 minutes queuing to get to the castle, and then, visit it in 15 minutes following a flood of tourists that could rival the amount of people you can see in a Eurodisney queue. Had I known this, I would have skipped the visit completely. Not worth it. The castle is much more beautiful from the outside than the inside. Just get there if you whish to see it from the outside, take a couple of pictures and leave. Not worth the money or the time invested in visiting it from the inside. In the website they were offering fast track tickets, but it was hard to imagine that the queue would almost last 1h30m… even so, with fast track tickets, you wouldn’t still be able to visit the castle without such a flood of tourists. Save your time and money.

(Translated by Google) Nice to visit, especially the "torture chamber" :) (Original) Frumos de vizitat, in special "camera de tortura" :)

Bran Castle is a fascinating mix of history and legend. Perched high on a rocky hill, it offers breathtaking views and a glimpse into Romania’s medieval past. The Dracula story adds to its charm, but be prepared for a lot of people—especially in peak season.

Nice castle (on the small side), well documented without being over documented. BUT the site displays textually "Be aware availabilities goes fast" which suggests that the visitors are limited. That is obviously not the case or the limit is not what in should be. From start to end of the visit you literally walk on each others toes. Being a castle enthusiast I've visited a few in several countries at different seasons. This was unseen to me. A shame!

(Translated by Google) We passed through the area and wanted to spend a little time in the Castle courtyard without entering the Castle, which we had seen before, but at the entrance we were asked for a ticket -90 lei, explaining that we are not allowed to enter without a ticket, even if we only want to visit the Courtyard. It is abnormal, not to mention the cosmic price. Very disappointed. (Original) Am trecut prin zona și am vrut sa stăm puțin curtea Castelului fara sa intrăm în Castel, pe care l am tot văzut, dar la intrare ni s a cerut bilet -90 lei, motivând că nu este permis sa intrăm fara bilet, chiar daca vrem sa vizităm doar Curtea. Este anormal, nu mai zic de prețul cosmic. Foarte dezamăgită.

Have to say it was only average, especially if you have visited castles elsewhere in Europe. The fast pass is necessary. We skipped a line with 200 hundreds people.

(Translated by Google) We came here to feel the atmosphere of mysticism that envelops this castle with stories about Count Dracula. (Original) Приїхали сюди відчути атмосферу містики,що огортає цей замок оповідками про графа Дракулу.

(Translated by Google) A disgrace, all fake, miles-long queues, and sky-high prices. (Original) Una schifezza, tutto finto file chilometriche, e prezzi da capogiro.

(Translated by Google) 100% rubbish, small, expensive for what it is, little parking and poorly connected. It's not worth visiting even for free! (Original) 100% basura, pequeño, caro por lo que es, poco aparcamiento y mal comunicado. No merece visitarlo ni gratis!

(Translated by Google) Tourist trap!!!! €20 per person for the basic ticket price... An hour's wait in the blazing sun only to be crammed like sardines into the castle.... People with reduced mobility and those who are claustrophobic should definitely avoid this place. There's nothing to see. (Original) Attrape touriste !!!! 20 euros la place par personne pour le prix de base... 1h d'attente en plein soleil pour être ensuite entassé comme des sardines dans le château.... Les personnes à mobilité réduite et les claustrophobe passer vraiment votre chemin. Il y a rien a voir

Horrendously busy to the point of being unable to enjoy any part of the visit. Far too many tickets sold given the size of the building. The displays looked interesting and of good quality but there was no space or time to enjoy them. Overhyped as 'Darcula's Castle' drawing in huge crowds, when there is no connection and most of the content is about the Romanian royal family in the 20th century.

Most iconic castle in Romania also around the world definitely must must-visit place.
