We made the tour with Catalina and 9 colleagues. Catalina is a very good storyteller. We learned a lot about old and still used customs in Romanian culture. Catalina also explained a lot about the communist period and the difficult period afterwards. This tour was very interesting and we highly recommend it. Thank you Catalina!

Description

As this place was inhabited more than 2000 years ago, the city has witnessed many deaths, murders, mysteries and, if you pay attention, you will hear the voice of the underworld almost everywhere. The tour takes you to haunted houses and places and tells you the relevant stories from the history of Bucharest. Fear not, cause Bucharest has also positive stories with gods, good ghosts, and other mysteries. Oh…let’s not forget Dracula, he also seems to be present here, given his very strong connection with the city and its past. Not to mention that we had a real vampire in the 70s, so prepare to discover his amazing story.

The guide will meet you in front of the National Theatre in the garden, where you can find out the first haunting story in the city and other historical relevant information. Next, prepare to discover how some beautiful old houses are still inhabited by tormented spirits that refuse to leave the city, the most famous one being the House of the Devil. Along the road, the guide will explain different legends from the Romanian folklore, superstitions and mythical tales. The real story of Dracula? We have it! The story of the real “vampire of Bucharest”? We tell it!
