Buda Castle District Dark History, Legends and Vampire Night Tour
With Mysterium Tours®, spend approx. 2-hours exploring the exterior of the Buda castle district by night and listen to gruesome historical facts and the bloody side of Hungarian history in the XV-XVII century, and learn the myths of Vlad Dracula and the blood countess Elizabeth Báthory. Finally your Storyteller will tell you Hungarian folktales and vampire stories of the 19° century.
Away from the crowds of Pest, this informative and entertaining tour, guided by a professional actor in period costume, takes you to some of the charming, magical places of the city: the Buda castle courts.
Note that Mysterium Tours does NOT craft typical guided tours for tourists, these are immersive storytelling experiences about legends, histories, and tales not always associated with the building we stand in front of.
Also note this tour starts from the bottom and includes a stairway leading up the castle district.

The tour will start on time! Please note: it is your responsibility to be there on time, if you need assistance, please call us before the starting time! There is no refund for a no-show. The tour starts from the meeting point at the Kilometre Zero Stone which is located at the bottom of the Buda castle hill, by the funicular entrance (Clark Adam Square), a few meters away from the Chain Bridge (Buda side). Please note that due to the temporary work on site of the area, we are forced to take an alternative steep stairway to reach the top of the hill. If you wish not to walk up the hill, you can consider taking the funicular and meeting the group on top of the hill. In this case please meet the tour guide at the meeting point and ask for instructions.
