a month agoWonderful and beautiful place. The territory is cleaned, there are many places for photos and in general the atmosphere is excellent. The castle itself is impeccable, the interior is richly and beautifully decorated. Beautiful furniture, chandeliers and mirrors. You can pay separately for visiting the first floor, or two, or the entire castle at once. Children really like this place. I hope to return.

in the last weekThe beauty and scenery of this place is truly breathtaking. Of course it was absolutely PACKED with people and so busy. It’s interesting to hear the history of this place and later grab a coffee (pricey) with the view of the castle. Definitely worth going!

3 weeks agoA very beautiful and historic castle that left me in awe. I would recommend entering, as the interior is as exceptional as the exterior. Worth every minute of the 3 hour (cause of traffic) drive from Bucharest. Would recommend visiting. I would also recommend buying your tickets online from their site, there was a big line on the Friday morning that I visited.

a month agoDefinitely a place to visit when heading into the Romanian countryside! If you visit Bucharest and plane to go to Dracula’s castle this is a great place to start. In my opinion comparing the 2 castles this is much more interesting. The beauty here is amazing and memorable. I highly recommend
