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.”
Pick a bath, a boat or a courtyard bar.
