The queue was crazy and it took us over an hour and a half to get inside. At that point we had limited time left so had to rush quickly around each of the rooms which were pretty full of people. Nice…Full review by Belfastguy

This castle is very much hyped up due to its relevance to Dracula but be warned, the castle actually has nothing to do with Dracula. It’s just the castle the most closely portrayed in the Bran Stocke…Full review by F3227KLamyc

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.
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.
Hello is this castle accessible for older people with no significant mobility issues, but age related weakness. Please give distance or time to reach Castle from parking and roughly how many steps to climb to reach the castle. Much appreciated
