Detailed itinerary
1
Spend the Night in the heart of Transylvania for the Most Infamous Celebration
Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy complimentary snacks and an Open Bar (according to the menu- between 20.00-01.00 am). The special program includes Vampiresa Hunting - an elegant and mischievous dance performance where grace meets danger and every pirouette comes with a hint of fang. Next, the Count’s favorite magicians, Eduard & Bianca, deliver a sparkling spectacle of illusion, dance and comedy.
Arguably the highlight of the evening is the Ritual of Killing of the Living Dead, re-enacted based on ancient burial rites. The night continues with excitement, cheers, and a dash of friendly rivalry as guests compete for the Trophy for Best Halloween Costume—a title that carries eternal bragging rights (or at least until the next full moon).
Those who endure until the end will take the solemn and slightly dramatic Survivor’s Oath. The Great Dracula Ball ends at 01:00 am.
