Bran Castle is on the tourist trail and thus is surrounded by over priced coffee shops and souvenir stalls but these are easily ignored. As is the Dracula link, which is tenuous, and not much of a feature inside the castle. The castle itself is an interesting and well presented historical attraction. It was built to guard the pass across... More

Even if the castle is a jewl, the ornamentation is kind of missing...as some of the local authorities are taking what is not theirs More

Nothing worth seeing. The legend is not exploited in any manner, the fortress is less spectacular than other castles in Germany or France. You don't loose anything if you skip visiting it. More

Not as toursisty as people make out...but you can see why Bram Stoker chose it as the residence of his fictional character. Its prominent feature set in the landscape with a magical and mysterious feel. Easily accessible from Brasov and not to be missed. More

Castle in itself is great, the grounds and surrounding scenery are beautiful. Very busy and touristic. Although it is the 'Dracula castle', there is nothing "vampiric" about it whatsoever (except a cheesy display inside! :) ). There are vendors around the castle, but they sell stuff one would find in a dollar store and authentic-made-in-China Romanian souvenirs that have nothing... More
