This was not something we were made aware of beforehand and he stated that he only accepted cash payments... We arrived at Bran castle very early and it was still really quiet. You aren't allowed a guided tour here, but we were given more than enough free time to leisurely look around, read, eat, take photos. We got talking to a family later…”
