Najboljši čas za obisk

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 znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Ročno sem obišče več kot 600 tisoč obiskovalcev, ki želijo na lastne oči videti kraj, povezan z legendo o Drakuli. V resnici Vlad Nabadalec, ki naj bi služil kot predloga za vampirskega grofa, tukaj nikoli ni živel - grad je služil predvsem kot carinska trdnjava in kraljevo prebivališče.

Poudarki: Na dvorišču je še danes prvotni kamniti vodnjak, globok 60 metrov, ki so ga nekoč ročno izkopali turški ujetniki. V kletnih prostorih boste videli skrivni hodnik, ki je povezoval grad z okoliškimi gozdovi in služil kot pobegna pot za kraljevo družino.

Notranji nasveti

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.
