Transylvania Unearthed – Halloween Edition
9 days, Bucharest to Bucharest
!
Sorry! There are no remaining departures for "Transylvania Unearthed – Halloween Edition" (EQHR), but here are some similar trips.
Is there a better time to explore Romania's most (in)famous region than during Halloween? We don't think so. Yeah, this is indeed the place that popularized the vampire myth, but there's so much more to this charming swath of Europe beyond the spooky stuff. Incredible Gothic architecture, lush forests, captivating little villages filled with friendly people, and gorgeous cities like Sighisoara and Brasov. And on Halloween itself, we'll even treat you to a costume party inside a genuine Transylvanian castle. Scared yet? Don't be. Your CEO is always there to hold your hand.
