About this quest

In the heart of Bucharest's Old Town, an old mystery stirs once more.
At Manuc's Inn, a solitary traveler presses a worn journal into your hands. His ancestor? Vlad the Impaler, Prince of Wallachia, known to the world as Count Dracula. As you walk through the city's lamplit streets, decoding clues and following a centuries-old trail, the boundary between history and legend begins to dissolve. Could Dracula still walk among us?
This immersive walking adventure in Bucharest leads through hidden courtyards, Gothic crossings, and historical landmarks, tracing the shadow of a figure who has never quite left. Open the journal, and follow the trail.

Highlights

    - Follow the clues in a centuries-old journal through the streets of Bucharest's historic center - Trace the hidden identities of Vlad the Impaler across the centuries and across Europe - Discover the medieval ruins, hidden courtyards, and Walachian heraldry woven into the city's architecture - Reach the castle built in memory of Vlad's mountain stronghold, hidden at the top of Carol Park

The mission: Your story in Bucharest

You have always been drawn to mysteries.

In the courtyard of Manuc's Inn, a solitary elderly man sits apart from the other guests, still as a portrait.

He is foreign, and something in his manner suggests he has traveled a great distance, though not only in miles.

His name is Antoine Robert Siegel, a German descended from the Saxon communities of Transylvania.

He is searching for his ancestor, a man who once ruled these lands, and who, Siegel believes, is still alive.

He presses a worn journal into your hands. His family has kept it for generations, he says. Read it carefully.

At first glance, the name in the opening entry stops you cold: Vlad the Impaler, Prince of Wallachia.

Count Dracula. The old man watches your expression, then looks away toward the darkening street.

"I am too old to follow him. Perhaps you are not."
