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

It makes a nice daytrip together with Rasnov fortress. From Brasov there goes a mini/maxibus every hour or maybe even every half an hour. The bus stops very closeby the castle. The castle itself is very touristy, but worth the visit. In the case that you have limit time and you have to chose between Bran and Peles castle in... More

Nothing to do with Dracula, except a loose historical connection. Dracula was written in the late 1800s. Vlad the Impaler was around early 1400s.

It happened to be a thunderstorm so the setting was perfect. We enjoyed going through the castle as well. This is not the true Dracula castle, only the Hollywood... More

The castle itself is an attraction, but I expected it to be more interesting. The whole Dracula story is fake as you'll read in there. It was just a character. We had very bad experience with the girl who sold the tickets. She sold student tickets to 40+ old Romanians in front of us without them showing any student card.... More
