About Your Trip
Mysterious Adventures Tours is proud to offer you a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Romania when the veil is on its thinnest… Halloween! Let us celebrate Samhain together among her vampires, witches, creatures, and her UNDEAD!
“I am Dracula, and I bid you welcome … to my house.
Come in, the night air is chill, and you must need to eat and rest.”
— Bram Stoker, Dracula
Almost entirely due to Dracula, Romania has long been associated with horror and darkness. Just the name Transylvania conjures up an image of romantic darkness. Deep valleys, beautiful mountains, and a legacy of death. If any country is haunted, Romania is. Imagine tracing the steps of Vlad Tepes III Drăculea, The Impaler. On this magical Halloween Tour, we will be at the famous Dracula (Bran) Castle for their iconic Halloween Festivity. In addition, we will take you into experiences that will be part of your frightful memories. Be introduced to and explore Romania’s most historically haunted by lurking in its secrets, passages, and unknown roads. Let’s not forget Romania’s beautiful landscapes. 
Romania is a country of medieval castles, Gothic churches, and charming towns, all hidden among some of the most enigmatic landscapes of southeastern Europe. Marked by such geographical wonders as the Carpathian Mountains and the Black Sea, the country’s dense forests and snow-capped peaks are perfect settings for the folklore that emanates from nearly every region, especially during Halloween’s Autumn.
We invite you for a lifetime journey when Romania shines the brightest in the shadows of spooky Halloween!
