Celebrate Halloween on a southbound Transylvania journey from Cluj Napoca to Bucharest, featuring a spooky party, local walks and a guided trek through Hoia Forest.
  • Visit the 12th-century town of Sighisoara – the birthplace of Count Dracula (allegedly). Things are about to get medi-evil.
  • 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 trip 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.
  • See the traditional Saxon village of Viscri for some traditional Romanian hospitality and some finger-licking home-cooked food.
