Ghosts and Vampires Tour in Bucharest

Bucharest is a city of contrasts, and when night falls, its past resurfaces in the form of legends, crimes and ghosts. This night-time walking tour takes you through the streets of the Old Town to show you the most haunting history of the Romanian capital, combining historical facts with popular myths.

Accompanied by a guide specialised in occult history and popular culture, you will discover the most mysterious corners of Bucharest, from haunted buildings to alleys with dark secrets. You will learn about legends of vengeful spirits, unexplained apparitions and characters who died in tragic circumstances, whose presences, it is said, are still felt.

One of the focal points of the tour is the figure of Vlad Tepes, also known as Vlad the Impaler, whose life inspired the myth of Dracula. The guide will explain what is real history and what is fiction, and how this figure has shaped Romania's cultural identity.

The tour has a narrative and immersive approach, without theatrical scares, ideal for those who enjoy well-told stories, with a mix of reality, legend and historical reflection. Along the way you will also learn about ancient Romanian funeral traditions, superstitions and customs related to death and the afterlife.
