Overview

With Mysterium Tours®, spend approx. 2-hours exploring the exterior of the Buda castle district by night and listen to gruesome historical facts and the bloody side of Hungarian history in the XV-XVII century, and learn the myths of Vlad Dracula and the blood countess Elizabeth Báthory. Finally your Storyteller will tell you Hungarian folktales and vampire stories of the 19° century. Away from the crowds of Pest, this informative and entertaining tour, guided by a professional actor in period costume, takes you to some of the charming, magical places of the city: the Buda castle courts. Note that Mysterium Tours does NOT craft typical guided tours for tourists, these are immersive storytelling experiences about legends, histories, and tales not always associated with the building we stand in front of. Also note this tour starts from the bottom and includes a stairway leading up the castle district.

Meeting points

Meeting Point is at the Zero Kilometre Stone in Clark Adam Square. Buda side of the Chain Bridge, at the bottom of the castle hill, a few meters away from the funicular entrance. Look for your storyteller who will be wearing a period outfit and carrying an oil lantern

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Fascinating stories from the past

Published on Feb, 2025

Fantastic tour, full of fascinating stories from the past whilst looking at beautiful scenery of Budapest. A must for anyone visiting Buda.

Great night walk in Budapest

Published on Feb, 2025

A long uphill walk to start but you can take the funicular rail to the castle, explained by Joe the guide before hand. A very good walk with great stories and atmospheric when walking around a lit up castle overlooking the brilliant Budapest skyline.

Thank you❤️
