We have visited the castle twice, but the first time we came here the line was too long for us to get inside within an hour. Because we came to the castle within an hour after it opened, it was empty, and we had the whole place to ourselves. The architecture and decoration inside is incredible. On the interior it is likely the most impressive castle in all of Romania, Which says a lot in itself.…

Fantastic castle (technically speaking it’s a palace, but everybody calls it a castle)! We had troubles getting in because they excepted cash only and we didn’t have enough. The ATM machine was not working (they told us somebody blew it up) so we had no opportunity to get cash. Our Romanian friends had to beg the cashier to do something and as a result we got the student tickets. So thanks to that person we got in.

Hello owners, shame on you!!!!…

After Cantacuzino this was absolutely uplifting. Very beautiful and maintained. Indoors are impressive and breathtaking and worth of entrance fee. I got blown away by armory. Lots of historic weapons. Pleade note you need to pay additional 35 lei if you want to take pictures.

Very nice park and castle, always worth a visit and a walk around the park. We have also visited the castle inside when it was not crowded.
