8 Spooky Europe Tours Recommended by TripAdvisor

If you like discovering new places and being (a little) scared, this article is for you. For Halloween, travel planning and booking site TripAdvisor has listed "scary" tours in Paris and Europe. An unusual way to discover towns or little-known places in the capital via “tours” that can be done all year round, not just on October 31! We have selected 8 of them.

In France

Paris – Pere Lachaise Cemetery Walking Tour in Paris, by City Wonders, from €21.

This 2-hour circuit allows you to visit the famous Parisian cemetery, discovering its stories and anecdotes. The opportunity also to go in search of the tombs of great artists like Jim Morrison or Chopin.

Paris – Tour with skip-the-line ticket in the catacombs of Paris, from 80 €.

This is an essential visit for people who wish to discover the underside of the Capital. For two hours, you can discover the history of this ancient underground cemetery which contains the remains of more than six million people (still!), accompanied by a guide.

Paris – Night walk to discover the ghosts, legends and mysteries of Paris, by City Wonders, from €23.

A nocturnal and guided walk through hidden corners of Paris, to the sound of ghost stories and little-known legends, to enrich your culture while shivering (a little!).

Paris – Nights of terror in Paris, Dracula circuit and discovery of ghosts, by LetzGo City Tours, from €27.

This circuit, led by an English-speaking guide (an important detail!), is a journey through time and a return to the time when ghosts and creatures of the night terrified Parisians.

In Europe

Barcelona – Walking Ghost Tour, by Barcelona Dragon Tours, from €20.

A night excursion (from 8:30 p.m. to midnight) that takes us to the time of the Spanish Inquisitions among witches, executioners and ghosts. That's for sure:we'll never see Barcelona the same way again!

London – Discover the ghosts of London by vintage bus, by Ghost Bus Tour, from €80.

A one-hour excursion in a 1960s Routemaster bus, accompanied by a “morbid and entertaining guide” (according to the description of the event). This is an opportunity to pass by the most famous monuments of the English capital such as Tower Bridge, the Tower of London or even Saint Paul's Cathedral, but also to discover lesser known places such as the cemetery, scary!, by Cross Bones.

Prague – Prague Ghost Underground Walking Tour, by McGee’s Ghost Tours of Prague, from €20.

This is an unusual way to discover the capital of the Czech Republic:a stroll through the city's underground passages, armed with a flashlight. On the program:discovery of the rooms located under the old town hall and the astronomical clock and historical (and perhaps morbid, ok) details about the city.

Rome – Discovery tour of the ghosts and mysteries of the city of Rome, by City Wonders, from 25 €.

It is one of the most popular tours on TripAdvisor and for good reason, it allows you to visit the Italian capital in a one and a half hour walk. As the visit takes place at dusk, we (re)discover Rome and its most famous monuments:the Ponte Sisto, the Palazzo Farnese or the illuminated Castel Sant'Angelo (Engelsburg), known thanks to the film by Dan Brown, Illuminati .
