Najbolje vrijeme za posjetu

Best in the morning right after opening at 9:00 AM, when the crowds are smallest and the morning light beautifully illuminates the Gothic windows in the knights' hall. In autumn, the surrounding forests burst with colors, which enhances the atmosphere of the entire grounds.

O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Ročno je posjeti preko 600 hiljada posjetilaca koji žele svojim očima vidjeti mjesto povezano s legendom o Drakuli. U stvarnosti, Vlad Nabadžija, koji je navodno poslužio kao predložak za vampirskog grofa, nikada nije živio ovdje - zamak je uglavnom služio kao carinska tvrđava i kraljevska rezidencija.

Istaknuto: Na dvorištu se i danas nalazi originalni kameni bunar dubok 60 metara, koji su svojevremeno ručno iskopali turski zarobljenici. U podrumskim prostorijama vidjet ćete tajni prolaz koji je povezivao zamak s okolnim šumama i služio kao put za bijeg kraljevske porodice.

Insajderski savjeti

Do not arrive at noon between 12:00 and 2:00 PM, as most organized tours from Brașov arrive at that time.
Instead of standing in the hour-long line at the main gate, use the side entrance through Queen Marie's Tea House. It is almost line-free.
The best photo of the castle is taken from the viewpoint by the road below the castle, where the entire silhouette including the towers is in the frame.
It is not worth buying souvenirs from the first stall at the castle. A few meters further in the foothills, they sell them for half the price.
