What you need to know
- Book tickets online ahead of time, since they often sell out well in advance and online gets the best price
- About 2.5 hours by car from Bucharest on the DN1, or 35 minutes from Brașov
- Torture Rooms and Time Tunnel are extras, not part of the Standard Tour, so decide in advance whether they suit your kids
About
Bran Castle is a late 14th-century fortress guarding the pass between Transylvania and Wallachia. It later served as a customs house, then as the favorite home of Queen Marie of Romania, who restored it for the royal family. Today it is a museum.
It is the only castle in Transylvania that matches Bram Stoker's description, so the world calls it Dracula's Castle. Every visit includes the Royal Park.
