The Bran castle is a tourist attraction. Don't go there (unless you are a tourist of course). Even as a tourist, do not buy the extra ticket for the "time tunnel", costing as much as the castle entry itself. That's a one-minute elevator ride with movies shown on the walls, and you have to queue 40 minutes for it (see the people on the pic), while shouting angry employees repeatedly push waiting guests aside to ride the elevator themselves. The castle is best viewed from the road riding by, especially since the density of tourists gives you the queueing experience already there. With the Dracula character the castle has no real connection anyway.
Discussing the day with Norman, we realised we both liked even groceries shopping better than the castle, not to mention the villages and mountains. It was such a relief to get on the bike again, and mountain roads to the SW of Bran were just great. We had pancakes for lunch and icecream for dinner, as a sort of compensation for contact with the tourist industry.
