Bran Castle is open Monday: 12PM - 4PM

I would suggest not to buy your return tickets . There are trains later in the day so you don't have to rush . If you manage to see all you want until 18 good if not just take another train . You will find seats .

If you are interested in the landscape also, maybe take de 7am train so that you could see the mountains before Brasov (1.5 hours prior to arriving in Brasov)
