Bran Attractions in Romania, the city's famous Dracula's Castle
October 3, 2019Attractions Bran? One of the first places we think of visiting when we begin to mount our screenplay by Romania It was the famous Bran Castle, better known as the Dracula's Castle, which is in the city of Bran, na Transylvania, where the writer Bram Stoker was inspired by the most famous resident there, O príncipe Vlad Tepes who lived there in the fifteenth century, he became known as “or Impaler”, and Bram Stoker wrote the novel “dracula”.
Vlad Tepes is known as a hero in Romania, even killing their enemies that not so conventional way, he helped protect the country at the time of the Turkish invasion. There are several tributes to him across the country.
Today the castle houses a museum open to the public, displays pieces of art and furniture collected by Queen Mary.
You can choose to take a guided or free visit, we prefer to make a free visit and you get to know the place well, the castle of the fund has a good Romanian traditional rural structures.
The castle has nothing scary, even the story saying Vlad the Impaler It was enclosed by more than 10 days in the dungeon, this part is not open to the public, the part that gives a bit of distress is a secret passage, a very tight stairs down to the library, but it is to be tightened even.
The castle is very interesting, his garden outside is beautiful and super well maintained, with a lake, a restaurant that seems to be very good and as we were on a sunny day, It was even more beautiful.
We made the visit during a 2h total, we were very relaxed, we were in the morning, we arrived around 9:30h, a good time because there was so much row, when we left the queue was already much higher.
We went there by car, from the city of Brasov (where we sleep the day before) It takes around 40 minutes, We parked the car right near the castle, they do not have parking inside, but you can park on the street and they charge 8 law per hour, I turn to 2 euros.
The value to enter the castle is 40 lei, I turn to 8,5 euros for adults and children 10 lei, I turn to 2 euros, for you(as) above 65 years 30 law or 6,5 euros and students 25 law or 5,50 euros, the opening hours are the peak season (01 from April to 30 of September) the 9 am to 18h from Tuesday to Sunday and Monday from 12 am to 18 pm and in low season (01 from October to 31 March) the 9 am to 16h from Tuesday to Sunday and Monday from 12h to 16h.
We enjoyed our visit to Dracula's castle and we recommend it highly for everyone and now you know what to do in Bran, A small city, with a little more 5 thousand inhabitants, where the main attraction is the Dracula's castle same. Around the castle there are some stalls with food, drinks, snack bars, but all in function of the castle.
How cool this story. Although I had heard of Dracula and castle, I know very little history. Loved understand a little more and how the visit at the Castle. Romania is a place I have enough will to know and when, I will visit the castle for sure.
The visit is paid very cheap ones 6 euros.
I was just imagining my children within that castle, would freak out! And then I have a little scared hahaha I knew of the existence of the castle and a little history, but you too can enter and learn more.
Dracula's castle does not fear any, You can go quiet with crinças.
Bran Castle, Romania has always aroused my curiosity and would certainly be in my script. Very cool to know the history that inspired the legend of Dracula and tour the castle with you.
It was really cool and fun, everyone has to know the Castle
What a cool ride! I read the book and watched the movie Dracula, then only by your report and the photos I wondered how the place inspired the writer Bram Stoker.
A walk in the place that inspired the writer and very nice to meet
