Ghost & Vampires Bucharest Night Tour

Welcome to the dark side of  Bucharest. Just beyond the Old Town lies a neighborhood full of eerie stories and allegedly haunted places. For centuries, Bucharest has been a silent witness to countless deaths, murders, and mysteries. If you listen closely, you might sense various presences lingering nearby—long-gone spirits that were once part of the vibrant life of Bucharest.

On this tour, you will be guided through haunted sites that bear the marks of Bucharest’s  shadowy history. We will explore locations where strange phenomena are commonplace, and the stories told by locals have sent shivers down our spines—from tragic deaths and unsolved murders to incredible customs that Romanians still use to protect themselves from evil spirits. Beware, we might also have some uninvited “locals” joining us on the tour.

But fear not, for Bucharest also holds tales of benevolent spirits and divine interventions. No tour of Bucharest would be complete without mentioning Count Dracula, whose legacy still haunts the city. Additionally, you’ll discover the incredible story of a real vampire who terrorized Bucharest in the 1970s, adding to the city’s supernatural lore. Please note, while we will visit many haunted locations, we will not enter any of the haunted houses on this tour.

This tour is the only one of its kind in Bucharest. Limited sports available due to group number limitations, be sure to reserve your spot as soon as possible.
