Cool site to visit. It is definitely a place where most tourists will be so be prepared for a lot of visitors taking photos etc. i suggest buying a ticket ahead of time so you can skip the line when the site opens. Also be prepared to walk. The entrance alone is a pretty steep walk before reaching the castle. All in all it’s a cool place to visit.

Lovely castle with a huge garden and nice park. I will recommend to be visited in summer as it looks great. As it's promoted as Dracula's Castle I think it would be nice to have more details about the history of DRACULA. The tour doesn't take too long and at the end you'll find a gifts shop for buying some souvenirs.

Fiind din Judetul Brasov, Branul este o atractie importanta atat pentru judet, cat si pentru Romania. Castelul este foarte frumos si are in spate o intreaga istorie. Pretul de intrare pentru adult este de 65 lei si daca doresti si ghid mai platesti inca 25 de lei. Biletul mi se pare destul de mult, fata de acum ceva ani. Sunt destule obiective impresionante in tara noastra, chiar mai frumos decat Castelul Bran si nu costa atat de mult. Merita sa-l vizitezi macar o data! (Translated by Google) Being from Brasov County, Bran is an important attraction both for the county and for Romania. The castle is very beautiful and has a whole history behind it. The entrance price for an adult is 65 lei and if you want a guide, you pay another 25 lei. The ticket seems quite a lot to me, compared to a few years ago. There are quite a few impressive sights in our country, even more beautiful than Bran Castle and it doesn't cost that much. It is worth visiting at least once!

We all know the legends. It has the vibe, the beauty. The Bran city is very cozy and nice to spend some time in. In the castle there is place to sit and have something to eat or drink. You buy tickets at the front gate. There is three levels of your. The basic and two others with tour guide. Even if you buy the basic one, you can upgrade once you are inside.

A wonderful experience. Although the castle it self is not anything spectacular to see, the atmosphere is amazing. The castle is situated near a lake full of green while there are many small shops with souvenirs and quick traditional food that you can taste. Tickets are easy to get and relatively cheap. There is a 5 min que thought to enter inside.

Go with the tour guide because that's the only way you can get and understand a lot of additional details about the history of the castle and each room. This castle has two stories: one about the legend of Dracula and the other about the enchanting history of Queen Maria of Romania. The time tunnel is spectacular because it offers a captivating and unforgettable experience. At the end of the tunnel we find another gift shop.

A visit to Bran Castle in Romania is an absolute delight! Known as the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula, this iconic fortress holds a unique allure that captivates visitors from around the globe. Stepping into its historic walls is like stepping back in time, with each corner revealing intriguing tales of centuries past. Weekends bring a bustling energy to the castle, as tourists from far and wide gather to explore its fascinating interiors and soak in the stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Before even entering the castle, visitors are treated to the lively atmosphere of a vibrant market, offering an array of charming souvenirs and local crafts to commemorate the experience. From its picturesque setting to its rich cultural heritage, Bran Castle offers an unforgettable journey through both history and legend. Whether you're a history buff, a Dracula enthusiast, or simply seeking a memorable adventure, a visit to Bran Castle promises to be an enchanting experience for all.

One of the most visited sites in Romania, I have to say it's really worth the trip! Gorgeous mountainside location, the castle is really beautiful and greatly preserved and the "time tunnel" is highly entertaining with all modern technology to throw you back in medieval days filled with scary stories and brave knights and princesses. Loved it!

It's okay. Very nice and well preserved castle. I don't like the atmosphere there. Vampire story is just made up to bring more tourist to the castle and get as much profit as they can. If you really know the history of king Vlad, nothing makes sense and actually then you discover his castle is even in completely different place. Fact that some American guy (current owner) just made some cheap and overcrowded attraction from this beautiful historic place is sad. Ticket price is definitely too high comparing to what you can see in other castles in this region. Is it worth to see? If you love castles as I do then you may consider it. There is plenty of tourists and kids making this place hard to enjoy. But there are some quiet places, especially at the gardens :)

It was raining when we went, but it helped that there was no line at the entrance and we got in in 2 minutes. You can get a ticket at the entrance, it's easy and very fast. It takes 20-25 minutes to see everything in the castle. There is a very nice park next to it and from there you can take great pictures.

I found my visit to Bran Castle, also known as Dracula's Castle, to be intriguing and historically significant. The architecture and surrounding landscape were captivating. However, the tour lacked depth and could have provided more comprehensive information about the castle's ties to Vlad the Impaler. Overall, it's a decent experience for those interested in history and folklore.

The castle was amazing to visit, all the rooms and imagining how it used to be a long time ago, that was great. The interior courtyard with the fountain is also amazing. Exiting through the elevator outside is cool. There were A LOT of people though, it would have been more enjoyable if there were less people in order to enjoy the rooms more but still it was worth it. Long, long queue to enter

Overall a very nice experience but rather crowded. Maybe it would be better to have time slots as there was quite often a queue to get from one room to another. Otherwise, very nice and well maintained. The garden area is also good for a walk. Also, it’s a steep walk to the entrance of the castle.

I had higher expectations before visiting the famous “Draculas Castle”. The fact that it’s incredibly busy does not help either as you can barely walk and everyone walks over each other. The most interesting thing is the outside of the castle and the torture room with graphic pictures. Generally even the few furniture that’s inside is not even original as the castle was empty and they had to buy furniture to fill it in solely for the tourist attraction. I would definitely not go back again! One time is enough!

This castle encapsulates two captivating tales: the legend of Dracula and the enchanting history of Queen Marie of Romania. The time tunnel provides an immersive experience, transporting visitors through the ages. However, the true magic of this destination lies in its breathtaking natural surroundings, which offer an unforgettable aesthetic experience.

A beautiful castle and location. The supernatural themed displays in the attic of the castle are interesting and atmospheric. However, the section of the castle that is open has some very small rooms. Large numbers of people are present and there is a lot of overcrowding and pushing. For disabled people there are many many narrow winding staircases, many without ropes or rails. I saw a lift but I have no idea if its accessible to disabled people. Finally, if you are a larger person there are some exceptionally narrow and low ceiling corridors which could be very difficult to access. Its very beautiful but very busy.

Impressive castle in Bran, Romania. Interesting history, and the museum aspect is good, too. Lots of Dracula-themed features, which are amusing. We spent around an hour or so walking around the castle, and it's mainly linear, so it is easy to navigate. Worth a visit if you're in Bran. Tickets can be purchased at the foot of the castle, and payment can be made by cash or card. Under 7s are free entrance.

Very nice. But there's much nicer castles in Romania. The time I went there, there was so many people that the experience was not so nice. I wished to leave, and avoided seeing some parts. I went a saturday around 2pm, i guess I will try to go another time when there's less people. There's night excursions that you can arrange for a group. I recommend to go during the week or finding a time when it is not so crowded. People stacked everywhere, you have to walk very slowly and it's a constant flow, so you can't even wait until it's over. When this happens, It's not even nice to take pictures.

It's a cool castle located in a beautiful countryside. If you buy a ticket online in advance you don't have to wait in a line outside (costs about 9-10€). I was expecting it to be more "Dracula themed" but it has little to do with that besides the few pictures and some notes from the writer. It has an interesting Museum of torture (you have to buy a separate ticket to enter that area it costs around 2€) It was a bit crowded when we were visiting.

It's a beautiful castle and it's been turned into a real tourist attraction. The grounds all have signs to shops, restaurants and inside the castle you follow a set path. All around the castle are little Souvenir shops and some snack stalls. We went on a Thursday and arrived at 4:50pm, there was a really long line. The castle stops selling tickets at 6pm, but it seems that people who get in late can hang around and explore. We got in around 5:30 and were able to explore and shop at the museum shop even at 6:30pm. It took us 1 hour to see everything, but others definitely stayed around a bit more. By the time we left the restaurant was closed, so if you want things to be open make sure to get there early as parking around the area can be tough in high season. Some stairs and hallways are very small so if you're claustrophobic be aware. The castle has 2 additional add on to the standard self tour: tower/tunnel that looks like a long elevator down and the medieval torture devices. We did the medieval torture devices add on and it was a few rooms with replicas and some legitimate devices and explanations. The history and the views are worth it :)

Very cool! The tour is an hour and you see a well upkept piece of history with the Dracula legend attached. There were some creative components woven into the tour so it wasn't all just dry history. Also, there is a tour of the torture chamber and the Time Tunnel is short but creative. The grounds are beautiful and the sights looking from the castle and looking at it are awesome. Definitely recommend.

Super cool castle. Took about 1 hour to tour with taking time to read most plaques. They are in English. The time tunnel at the end took 2 minutes. Kinda cool but not necessary. It's just an unique exit.

I really enjoyed this castle visit despite the hordes of other tourists. It's smaller than the typical castle with many rooms furnished to mimic the original look it historically added. They have a small section about monsters and myths that's fun too.

It’s an amazing castle with stunning views, would definitely recommend a visit. We didn’t have to queue to get and and it wasn’t too busy when we went. The walk around the castle was so pretty. The grounds around the castle were beautiful as well. One thing to note is the small corridors and stairways.

Beautiful small castle associated with Count Dracula, but only by the novel written by Bram Stoker. (Dracula has never been here) The age of the castle is unknown, along with its original owners. It was renovated by Queen Mary, the wife of King Ferdinand, and used as a retreat. The village of Bran has certainly made use of its location and similarities to Stoker's novel and turned the castle into a must-see location for those who love history, vampires, and spooky happenings. Tickets are required to enter, which can be bought either on arrival or online. There is a fairly steep incline to reach the entrance made if cobbles, which can be slippery, so care is needed. Below the castle, in the grounds is a market selling locally made crafts and souvenirs, and refreshments.

The castle was very fascinating, and the grounds were full of history and a real basis for most of the folklore you hear surrounding the castle. The castle itself has a lot of areas closed off and it was more of a museum rather than a full focus on the mythic lore. Still very cool place and would recommend

Nice place to visit, there's an interesting mix of history and local myth. It is aimed towards tourists in the morning and hosts varied events and activities in the evenings. It can be quite a challenge if your mobility is reduced as there are many stairs and narrow winding passages.

Very cool castle to walk through! Especially with a tour guide as they can give a lot of extra detail on the history of the castle and each room. It also has very nice views from various points. I did not see the torture areas, but did pay for the elevator. It was interesting and the final tunnel was neat, if only because of how isolated and quiet it was. At the end of the tunnel/bottom of the castle was another gift shop with almost no one in it.

When in Romania, the Dracula / Vampire legends are everywhere, and this is the source of them! Convenient off street parking, fabulous tourist trap market (check out the traditional masks), then wander up the hill to the castle. We did not use a guide for the tour and may have missed some finer points. The torture chamber is an eye opener!!

An absolutely fantastic castle and probably one of the most famous castles in the world. It is a stunning piece of architecture and the inside is set up in a really nice museum style display to see how rooms would have been during the key parts of the history. It is really easy to get tickets and walk around both the inside and outside. Parking nearby is slightly difficult as there are limited spaces and you have to just drive around until you can find a spot, but it is well worth it.

Beautiful castle with an amazing environment built by Austro-Hungarian empire. It has many things to see inside but also if you are here, it worth to visit the surrounding mountains. Recommend to visit it!

Highly overrated castle and for the ticket price you pay it doesn’t include all the things to ser inside castle and for torture museum and timeline show you need to purchase separate tickets. Might be of interest for the people visiting castles for the first time but not for people who visited big castles before. Its a tourist trap for this castle, there are even nicer and beautiful castles in Romania

We're doing a trip that involves castles and palaces and Bran was my #1. Luckily it met and exceeded my expectations. Very well restored, and a beautiful, simple design. Interesting history that is clearly explained. We went in early spring and got there early so there were no crowds and we could move around easily. From research I'd expected it to be overly touristy with respect to Dracula, but it really wasn't - I really liked the section dedicated to local folklore and thought it a great way to acknowledge the Dracula connection.

Draculas Castle is a must do! When we went it began to snow so it made it more awesome. I recommend doing the extra torture room but I don’t recommend the time tunnel. There wasn’t really much to the tunnel worth the extra money. We didn’t have to wait during when we went and you can go at your own pace. There’s plenty of stores outside the castle that sell cool things to buy. The castle is cool to walk through and how they lived before they even have some rooms that are Dracula themed and even the cool secret staircase

You better spent your time and money to visit Peles Castle. This one is very basic and boring

Cool horror castle, not so scary, but fun )

It is short but fun. It is a fairly standard funhouse/haunted house, but it got a couple jumps out of me from unexpected scares. Take your spouse/partner and make them go ahead of you.

The tour was really funny and scary. Scenes are made with passion and love for details. Lots of jump scares. Fun experience near Bran Castle.

The standard ticket doesn’t include the tunel, the torture room or a guide. The castle is a bit empty, not a lot of furniture or decor. The standard ticket is a bit expensive but is nice to see the castle once, wouldn’t come back but i dont regret the visit.

It gets boring pretty fast. If you are sensitive to loud noises, I don't recommend this place, because most of it's scares rely on that, and the props launching towards you. But that's what you have to expect with these places. The main problem is that for the price, you can go through it in 5 minutes, and even I, who was screaming the whole time, got used to the experience halfway through. There are one or two good surprises, but that's all

For me and my friends this was more entertaining than Bran Castle itself

It was TERRIFYING. We though that it was something that is not scary, but it was. When my parents were buying the tickets, I faced to face one of the employee who will give us some jumpscares, and the funny part was that we were staring at each other 😂. It was scary for me, fun for my sister, and ok for my parents. When you'll to the end, some employees with weird masks will give you some jumpscares. And because I was too scared, I accidentally dropped my ticket, and I said 'mom, I dropped my ticket 😭😭'. Bet the employee was holding his laugh so hard🤣🤣. Then, at the end, it's, let's just say, a music to be more scary and when I heard it I jumped a little 😭😭. Above to others, the castle needs a try

Really fun experience! Lots of fun here when with a group, it was brilliant fun. The actors were very good and it’s a great price @ €5/25 Lei per person it was well worth the laugh we had!

Amazing castle with a stunning view above the whole area. Lot of history facts about the castle owners and the community. It is worth to visit it, but you need a little bit of patience and time.

Cool site to visit. It is definitely a place where most tourists will be so be prepared for a lot of visitors taking photos etc. i suggest buying a ticket ahead of time so you can skip the line when the site opens. Also be prepared to walk. The entrance alone is a pretty steep walk before reaching the castle. All in all it’s a cool place to visit.

Lovely castle with a huge garden and nice park. I will recommend to be visited in summer as it looks great. As it's promoted as Dracula's Castle I think it would be nice to have more details about the history of DRACULA. The tour doesn't take too long and at the end you'll find a gifts shop for buying some souvenirs.

Draculas Castle is a must do! When we went it began to snow so it made it more awesome. I recommend doing the extra torture room but I don’t recommend the time tunnel. There wasn’t really much to the tunnel worth the extra money. We didn’t have to wait during when we went and you can go at your own pace. There’s plenty of stores outside the castle that sell cool things to buy. The castle is cool to walk through and how they lived before they even have some rooms that are Dracula themed and even the cool secret staircase

hidden behind the entrance to the famous castle is this open air folk museum with. log cabins representative of peasant days in transylvania - free and open to the public ; yet many of the crowds miss it without a sign indicating the way

It's a very small museum with only a few traditional old style houses representing Bran/ Moeciu region. They could definitely extend it or at least improve the content. But considering the simbolic price, it is worth seeing it when in the area or visiting the Bran castle.

Small scansen worth checking out when you are in Bran. It can give you a brief gasp into the old way of living.

We came while it was closed but it was still lovely to stroll alone through this little village.

I tried the ticket of 40 Lei that give access to an adult to the castle, it is a very good experience.

If you get the chance , this is a must see place

A nice place to visit, not as popular as Bran castle but a wonderful place to learn some history. The entrance fee is only 4 lei and you will get the free guided tour. If you want to discover some of the Romanian village life, this is the place. Unfortunately the state of the houses is not very good and there is no investment in developing this museum nor entertaining the large garden.

Such a Nice Little place and such a pleasant surprise to find in the whole market next to the entrance for the Castel - the only authentic boutique there! Wonderful local wooden carved toys, local candies (“fondante”) and much more.

The best souvenir shop in Romania! ♥️
