Reviews for Bran Castle

First of all, this castle has nothing to do with Dracula. If you’re going for that reason, I’d suggest thinking twice. However, the castle itself (not the items inside, but the structure itself) was quite beautiful. It’s worth visiting for the atmosphere. Aside from that, the additional torture instruments museum was actually more enjoyable than the rest of the exhibits. Also, the woman at the entrance selling traditional Romanian masks was very sweet — you should definitely buy something from her.

History and fantasy are combined in the self-guided tour. Worth the admission price.

(Translated by Google) The castle itself is well-preserved and interesting to visit. However, we had a couple of negative experiences that somewhat marred the visit. First, upon arrival, we saw that an audio guide was available, but when we inquired about it, we were told it wasn't possible to use it, not because it didn't exist, but because "they weren't working." We were advised to read the information panels in each room, but these were only available in Romanian and English, which could be a problem for some visitors. Furthermore, we purchased the extra pass (20 lei per person) to visit the torture chamber. The chamber itself is interesting, and we believe it's worth seeing, but the experience was quite disappointing due to the staff's behavior. There were two women in charge of checking QR codes, but they were more focused on talking amongst themselves than attending to visitors. One of them even started talking loudly on her phone while people were passing through unchecked, which completely broke the atmosphere of the room. Listening to a loud phone conversation while reading descriptions of torture instruments is quite anticlimactic. In summary, the castle is worth a visit, but there are organizational and customer service aspects that clearly need improvement. (Original) El castillo en sí está bien conservado y resulta interesante de visitar. Sin embargo, tuvimos un par de experiencias negativas que empañaron un poco la visita. En primer lugar, al llegar vimos que había disponible una audioguía, pero al preguntar por ella nos dijeron que no era posible utilizarla, no porque no existiera, sino porque “no estaban funcionando”. Nos recomendaron leer las pancartas informativas en cada sala, pero estas solo estaban disponibles en rumano e inglés, lo que puede ser un problema para algunos visitantes. Además, compramos el pase extra (20 lei por persona) para visitar la sala de la tortura. La sala en sí es interesante y creemos que vale la pena verla, pero la experiencia fue bastante decepcionante debido al comportamiento del personal. Había dos mujeres encargadas de revisar los códigos QR, pero estaban más concentradas en hablar entre ellas que en atender a los visitantes. Una de ellas incluso se puso a hablar por teléfono en voz alta mientras la gente pasaba sin control, lo que rompía completamente la atmósfera de la sala. Escuchar una conversación telefónica a todo volumen mientras se leen descripciones de instrumentos de tortura resulta bastante anticlimático. En resumen, el castillo merece una visita, pero hay aspectos organizativos y de atención al público que claramente necesitan mejorar

(Translated by Google) Everything is overcrowded. Parking is expensive! (Original) Alles überfüllt. Parkplatz teuer!

(Translated by Google) Too many people, you wander like sheep inside. Only to discover there's nothing interesting to see inside. I don't recommend spending that kind of money, considering the number of other castles in Romania. (Original) Demasiada gente, andas como ovejas por el interior. Para después descubrir que no hay nada interesante dentro que ver. No recomiendo gastarse ese dinero con la cantidad de otros castillos que hay en Rumanía.

(Translated by Google) I highly recommend a visit. The torture instrument exhibit is especially worth the small extra charge. One minor drawback: it's very touristy (and we were part of that group), and a large tour group made navigating the narrow stairs a bit tricky. (Original) Kann einen Besuch sehr empfehlen. Insbesondere die Folterinstrumente-Ausstellung sollte man für den kleinen Extrapreis mitnehmen. Kleines Mankerl: schon sehr touristisch (wovon wir auch ein Teil waren) und eine große Reisegruppe hat es auf den engen Treppen nicht gerade einfacher gemacht.

(Translated by Google) Super interesting and beautifully done. The "village square" is also cute, and you can find all sorts of souvenirs. All in all, a cool tourist attraction 😊 (Original) Super interessant und schön gemacht. Auch der "Dorfplatz" ist süß und man findet alle möglichen Souvenirs. Alles in allem eine coole Touristenattraktion 😊

(Translated by Google) Something interesting. Something different. I warn you, if anyone has claustrophobia, there is a rather narrow place/tunnel with stairs relatively at the beginning. After that, everything is fine. It is overcome. And the attraction for ''Instruments of Torture'' is paid additionally, by going down to the well. There is a machine that looks like a coffee machine. There you pay and you get on. I think it was about 20 lei. It is interesting (Original) Нещо интересно. Нещо различно. Предупреждавам, ако някой има клаустрофобия има едно доста тясно място/тунел със стълби сравнително в началото. След това всичко е наред. Преодолява се. А атракцията за ''Уреди за мъчения'' се плаща допълнително, като се слезе долу при кладенеца. Има една машина, приличаща на кафе-машина. Там се плаща и се качваш. Мисля, че беше около 20 леи. Интересно е

(Translated by Google) Very nice place with beautiful and very well preserved objects. However, care is needed due to the narrowness of various spaces (Original) Πολύ ωραίο μέρος με όμορφα κ πολύ καλά συντηρημένα αντικείμενα. Χρειάζεται όμως προσοχή λόγω στενότητας διάφορων χώρων
