In reply to Cris. Spring or fall would be best, mostly because it'll be a lot less crowded than when I was there in the summer. So April, May or September.

Even though the link to Dracula is tenuous, I’d still like to visit this place and imagine him walking the halls. It also looks very interesting in its own right, especially that pretty courtyard.

I was there in July, and agree that the crowds really lessened the experience. I really did like the castle though, especially compared to Peles Castle which was next on our agenda.

I did visit Bran Castle but it was several years ago and there were few tourists. But the tacky market was already there and doing a brisk business at the time. I thought it was a pretty castle and well worth touring. Too bad about the crowds now.

In reply to Agness of Fit Travelling. One day would be plenty. The visit should only take about an hour, unless you decide to shop for souvenirs below the entrance.

As soon as I cross Romania off my bucket list I would hesitate to visit Bran Castle, Rachel. How many days are enough for staying there?

I find this very interesting. I would still very much enjoy visiting Bran Castle and think I will like the cozy feel of it, but it sure isn’t what I was expecting “Dracula’s Castle” to look like!

In reply to travelnwrite. I know! People just seem to think that their kids can do anything, or they themselves, for that matter. I'm not shy about pointing out destructive behavior. I tried throwing a glare at the father of this kid tugging on the antique furniture, but he carefully avoided catching my eye. He knew I was right, though, because he didn't jump to the child's defense. And I did speak to her in a fairly gentle way, so as not to scare her if she didn't speak English.
