Parim aeg külastamiseks

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.

Teave

Kiired faktid: Aastas külastab seda üle 600 000 külastaja, kes tahavad oma silmaga näha Dracula legendiga seotud paika. Tegelikult ei elanud siin kunagi Vlad Teibistaja, kes olevat olnud vampiirkrahvi eeskujuks - loss toimis peamiselt tollikindluse ja kuningliku residentsina.

Esiletõstmised: Hoovil asub tänaseni algne kivikaev, mis on 60 meetrit sügav ja mille kaevandasid käsitsi türgi vangid. Keldriruumides näete salakäiku, mis ühendas lossi ümbritsevate metsadega ja oli kuningliku perekonna põgenemisteeks.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

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.
