From Dracula to Ceaușescu-Romanian Terror Stories Tour with Dacia
Overview
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.
Self-made, over night billionaire bootleggers during Ceaușescu’s time or million USD robberies from the National Bank of the Socialist Romania will add suspense to our delicious tour menu of thrilling stories with lethal endings. We’ll cover 500 years from Vlad the Impaler – aka Dracula, the actual founder of Bucharest – to Ceaușescu’s time. The grand finale of this horror show is a visit to Dracula’s assassination & burial within an amazing hidden Romania Monastery that also hosts an ossuary of the victims from WWI.
