We went in March and this place was heaving, so I couldn’t imagine how busy it would be in summer or around Halloween. The castle is beautiful and it has a proud and distinguished history far beyond…Full review by Danielalc87

We are not big on tours or museums etc, but staying in nearby Brasov meant this was just a short Uber ride away so we spent a couple of hours here. As it was March there were not many people there, …Full review by JBG_Enfield

For us, in July, yes, we skipped the line (10 min at least) with our printed tickets bought online. Would definitely do the same again. On the other hand, it seemed the tour guide had some tickets bought beforehand, worth asking them. Don’t know how you would pay though, cash? The simplest is buy online from the official castle site.

Q:
What is the weather in the area like in October. I am hoping to visit even though I have some leg pain issues. I do steps at home all the time so I should be ok there. Are there places to sit and rest or can I bring a small portable stool to rest on? How steep is the entrance ramp?

I can't help you with the weather in October; the twice I've been to the Castle was during summer. The walk to the castle from the carpark is a few hundred metres and once you're past the souvenir shops, the pathway does have a medium gradient. However, you can take your time walking up. The steps to the entrance of the castle are a little steep, but if there are no crowds, take your time. As for inside, places to sit and rest are few and far between, but if a portable stool is small there should be somewhere available. However, if crowded, you will be pushed along by the queue of people, with little opportunity to get out of their way.

Very accessible for older people yes. with aid like trollies for kids and wheelchairs. No. it was hard to bring trollies for small kids we ended up walking as there is no particular path/access for wheelchairs. the steps were a approx 30mins walk from the parking to the main entrance. advisable to walk without special aid.
