Came here as part of a bus trip from Bucharest, which includes the Pales castle and the Draculas castle. Out of the 2, Pales castles is much more worth the visit than the Bran (Draculas) castle. Mi…Full review by Guide12231372638

Have no idea. We went late in the day and there was no lineup. Everything moved smoothly. That was in September so there may be lineups in the busy summer months.
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.
