This Halloween, it isn't just the ghosts that will come out to play as G Adventures announces it will be hosting 1,000 fearless, fun-seeking travellers at the event of a lifetime – a fancy dress party in the shadow of Dracula's Castle in Transylvania, Romania.
Launching on Dracula Day (26th May 2018), this three-day trip is part of G Adventures' Limited Edition collection of once-in-a-lifetime tours, and provides party-goers with exclusive access to Bran Castle, which G Adventures has secured for the next two years, following the success of the original seven-day Halloween in Transylvania tour which is also available in 2018.
Why didn't the skeleton go to the party?
Because he had no body to dance with!
They'll be no shortage of dance partners in Transylvania on the three-day Dracula's Halloween Party in Transylvania trip. With a G Adventures Chief Experience Officer to guide the group, travellers will journey to the heart of Transylvania to the infamous Bran Castle, perched on the craggy cliffs overlooking the valley. Here, they can wander the hidden tunnels, secret staircases and explore the creaking corridors of this 14th century castle, rumoured to have been home to none other than Count Dracula. Dressed to kill, in full fancy dress, travellers will then dance into the night in a spooktacular G Adventures party tent, set in the shadows of Bran Castle. With drinks, food trucks and great music, it really will be murder on the dance floor. The next day, travellers can head out to explore nearby Brasov, visiting the Black Church, learning more at the Brasov History Museum or clearing the head hiking in one of the national parks.
For those with more time and searching for a truly hair-raising experience, the seven-day Halloween in Transylvania tour takes 120 travellers on a journey through Romania's most historic and haunted sites before ending with a private party inside the walls of Dracula's Castle. Starting in Bucharest, the tour will take travellers to the ruins of Poenari Castle in Bucharest, which was once the main fortresses of Vlad the Impaler, who killed over 10,000 people, and to his hometown of Sighisoara, where travellers will learn more about Romania's dark history. Visiting Casa Dracula, the original home of Vlad and now a local restaurant, travellers will try authentic Romanian cuisine and traditional meat and game dishes from the region. Making their way to Bran, the group will have time to explore the town before donning their costumes and heading to Dracula's Castle. With exclusive access to the castle, travellers can party in the tunnels and dance in the turrets, sharing the castle only with the ghosts and ghouls that also come out to play.
