**Review:** I want to share an important tip: online tickets don’t work for entry! After waiting in line for half an hour, I had to go back to the travel agency to get a printed ticket, which cost me almost an hour. So, make sure to bring a printed QR code! The castle itself is lovely, though it can get crowded especially during Halloween, which is understandable. The spooky stories added to the experience, and I highly recommend visiting. The gardens are beautiful, and you can even take a photo with Vlad on your way out. Enjoy your visit!

The overall experience was very good,the only thing that I'd say,was that it wasn't easy to get our tickets,due to the building where we had to collect our tickets from was hidden,but that is a very minor issue,but overall very good experience👍

The castle is impressive from the outside and the inner courtyard is beautiful but there were a lot of people and you could not stop to read or take pictures. We bought a ticket for a certain time and they made us go in before, there were a lot of people inside which did not make me enjoy it very much. It is spectacular but for the price you pay to go inside there should be a capacity control to enjoy quality.

Good experience, friendly reception and prompt service. Only downside: lack of proper signaling of the location of the Office/Ticketing Office.

Journey through time

Your adventure begins as you arrive in the charming village of Bran, nestled amidst the rolling hills of Transylvania. Ascend the hill and prepare to be awestruck by the imposing presence of Bran Castle, also known as Dracula's Castle. Step inside the medieval fortress and go on an exploration through its labyrinthine corridors, narrow staircases, and hidden passageways. Discover secret chambers that whisper tales of a bygone era, and marvel at the architectural details that speak volumes about the castle's rich history.

Uncover the castle's history

Uncover the truth behind the legend – while Vlad Tepes, the inspiration for Dracula, may not have resided here, the castle's intriguing past is sure to captivate you. Learn about Queen Marie, the last royal resident, who transformed the space into a summer residence, and admire the art and furniture collections reflecting her exquisite taste. Emerge from the castle and wander through the picturesque Royal Gardens, a haven of tranquility boasting stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Imagine Queen Marie sipping tea in her charming Tea House, crafted for intimately greeting her guests. What to delve deeper into the castle's history? Opt for the guided tour.
