The time you spend at Bran Castle depends on your interests. On average, most people find that 1 to 1.5 hours is enough to explore the castle, soak in its history, and check out the exhibits. However, if you're fascinated by Dracula's lore or want to wander around the gardens and surrounding area, you might want to set aside up to 2 hours. And don't forget, during peak tourist season, it's wise to budget a bit more time for potential lines and crowds.
