Who says the afterlife has to be serious? Step into Bellu Cemetery, where Bucharest's most colorful characters lie in rest, but not in silence.

In this witty, self-guided quest, you will follow clever clues through gravestones and memorials, uncovering bizarre facts, local legends, and surprisingly humorous tales from beyond the grave.

Meet Romania's greatest poet, an alpinist killed by an eagle, the man who invented the jet engine, and the richest Romanian of his era.

At each grave, a puzzle. At each puzzle, a story stranger than fiction.

Bellu Cemetery is one of the most remarkable cultural landmarks in Romania. This is probably the most fun way to visit it.
