Ghost Tours and Scary Trips in Europe

2. Tracing the legend of Dracula in Transylvania (Romania)
Bram Stoker described the landscape of Transylvania, surrounded by forests and the Carpathian mountains, in the nothingness of Romania, as a “place of bloodthirsty dreams”. Of course, this has been a lingering image of the region, but in fact, if you visit the area and Bran Castle (“Dracula’s Castle”), there are many scary stories and guided tours that will take you. However, Romania is also a diverse, picturesque and thoroughly interesting country that is well worth a visit.

Fun fact: Romanians themselves were unaware of the Dracula story when the first vampires/scary tourists arrived in the 1970s because the book was only published here after the Cold War in the 1990s.

3. Underground cemeteries in Paris (France)
The “Catacombs” have their origin in the ancient history of a Paris that was then called “Lutetia”: the Romans extracted limestone here and turned the subsoil of the city into a stone quarry. The underground cave system still has passageways and branches that are completely unknown! The underground cemetery was then used as an emergency solution to a problem of the time after the cessation of stone mining: the cemeteries of Paris were overcrowded and the stench polluted the city! The “Cimetière des Innocents” cemetery was dissolved in 1780 to remedy the problem and the bones were moved to the catacombs, more and more cemeteries followed and the bones of more than 6 million people are now in the Paris catacombs.

4. The puzzles of ancient Rome (Italy)
Embark on a journey of discovery of centuries-old riddles/riddles in the heart of the eternal city; Rome. An evening walk is recommended anyway, because then illuminated monuments and sights work particularly well. There are several tours here, some following in the footsteps of the movie “Angels and Demons”, others famous legends or spooky sections of history and others exploring the dark side of Rome. The nearly 3,000-year-old history of this city, whose founding is shrouded in legend (the story of Romulus and Remus), is truly noticeable around every corner and as you walk the cobbled streets, you can’t help but marvel at how how close the time spent here feels.

5. Calm Stuttgart? No way! (Germany)
The Stuttgart Ghost Tours are a national advice for the curious who want to travel while visiting Germany. The history of Stuttgart, in southern Germany, dates back to Roman times, and even earlier signs of settlement have been found from the 7th century. So there is a lot to discover in the city of wine lovers! Nightly ghost tours take you on a journey back in time and tell you about spooky events here that aren’t revealed at first glance. A tour of the city, but different! Afterwards you can relax and enjoy your wine or beer in one of the rustic pubs.
