About this experience
Discover the dark side of Romanian history in a terrifying tour through the horrifying, bloody past of Bucharest covering 500 years and 110 km in a classic Romanian car from the 80s. The violent scene of Romania’s bloody stories from the last 500 years will be revealed. Expect anything from brutal beheadings, mass arson, impaling or poisoning during Dracula’s time to the 70s vampire serial killer, the phantoms of the House of Parliament or cannibalism in the Old city.
