The trip

Halloween in Transylvania (Northbound).

Even without its bloodcurdling myths of Dracula, werewolves, haunted castles and curses, Romania is the perfect atmospheric place to spend an eight-day trip in October. You’ll be introduced to the beauty of ancient Bucharest, the haunting mythology of Sighisoara and the nostalgic atmosphere ot Bran Castle (aka Dracula’s castle) in Brasov. Take a daytrip to the Hoia Forest, steeped in legend and ghost stories and dress up for a party after sundown with your the group. For a spine-tingling adventure this spooky season, don’t look past Transylvania... mwahahaha.

Buna Ziua! Welcome to Bucharest. Often called the 'Little Paris of the Balkans', Romania's capital is known for its Belle Epoch architecture, thumping nightlife and communist sites. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight. If you arrive early, you might like to get a head start and explore the city by night. After the meeting, why not head out for a group dinner to get your first sample of Romania's unique cuisine.

It’s very important that you attend the welcome meeting as we will be collecting insurance and emergency contact details at this time. If you are going to be late, please let your travel agent or hotel reception know. Ask reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place.

This is the one you talk about.

Why you'll love it

Break out your scariest costumes for a spooky Halloween party, where haunted tunes will echo through cobweb-covered corridors and lanterns will light up the foggy night.
Protect yourself against devils and demons with a visit to the Turda Salt Mines, a fascinating museum and underground amusement park showcasing the history of salt in the region.
Take a to the spooky Hoia Forest, known for ghost stories, UFO sightings, strange trees and questionable photos showing things unseen to the naked eye. You’ll meet with a local guide for a 3-hour hike packed with legends.
