Budapest: Buda Castle District Vampires and Myths Night Tour

2.Buda Castle District Vampires and Myths Night Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 3,830 reviews · 110 minutes - 2 hours · from $23

Explore Buda Castle at night with a costumed guide, hearing tales of Dracula, Elizabeth Báthory, folklore, and dark Budapest history.

“Absolutely loved this tour. The guide, Bernadette, was fantastic and really played her role as a vampire! The walk begins at the bottom of the Fisherman's Basilica hill and heads up to the Basilica itself, so if your planning on seeing that area at night wait until then as there are plenty of gorgeous photo opportunities along the way. There are no places to stop for the toilet or drinks along the way, worth baring in mind. As for the actual tour, it was full of brilliant tales and stories to take away. Fully recommend this to anyone looking for an evening of something different in Budapest.”

“I've done a number of these in various cities and we ended up leaving before tour was done. The tour guide was nice but the stories were terrible. He told the same vampire story 3-4 times just changed the city name. After those he just started talking about history which he kept saying may or may not be true. He tried to add some gruesome details about Vlad the Impaler but they weren't accurate. Tour had potential but fell flat.”
