About this experience
Experience Budapest's iconic Buda Castle district on a guided walking tour after dark. Let your Gothic-adorned narrator tell you macabre stories of medieval battles, vampires, and Hungarian folk tales.
Join your Gothic-attired guide on a night tour of the infamous Buda Castle District. Stroll beneath the stars and slip into a world of legends, bloody history, dark creatures, and chilling tales that unfolded in the very streets you walk. Far from the crowds of Pest, meet your actor guide and embark on your nighttime adventure. The tour starts from the bottom of the castle hill, but if you wish, you can meet the guide and group once they have reached the top. Explore Budapest's enchanting history and admire the spectacular Buda Castle, where Hungarian rulers once toiled deep into the night. Hear stories of cruelty and learn about the despicable actions of Elizabeth Bathory, the bloody countess. Discover how the Romanian prince Vlad Dracula ended up in the prison of Buda Castle and journey into Hungary's dark past, where, according to legend, vampires and other creatures of the night roamed the streets and villages.

“Our tour guide Sigmund was amazing, super entertaining and had everyone engaged throughout the tour. It was mid-week and the castle was quiet, you had great views and felt immersed in the stories. Plus the tour finished on top of Fishermans Bastion, where the guide leaves you to explore at your own pace. Really good value for money would definetly recommend!”
