Step into the mysterious world of Budapest’s Buda Castle District on a captivating evening walking tour. Led by a professional actor in period costume, you’ll explore the castle’s atmospheric courtyards and medieval walls, discovering chilling tales from Hungary’s dark past.
As night falls, your storyteller will share gruesome legends from the 15th to 17th centuries, including the infamous stories of Vlad Dracula and the blood countess Elizabeth Báthory. The tour also brings to life local vampire folklore and haunting Hungarian myths from the 19th century, adding an extra layer of intrigue to your experience.
The journey begins at the Kilometre Zero Stone near Clark Adam Square, right by the funicular entrance on the Buda side of the Chain Bridge. Due to ongoing work in the area, you’ll ascend a steep stairway to reach the castle district, so moderate physical fitness is recommended. If you prefer, you can take the funicular and meet the group at the top.
This immersive storytelling experience lasts about 1.8 hours and is ideal for adults and older youth. Children under six can join for free, but the content is best suited for mature audiences. Enjoy panoramic views of Budapest and the Danube River as you listen to captivating stories under the city’s night sky.
