6.Brasov’s Haunted Past: Self-Guided Tour & Quest

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 1 hour 46 minutes (approx.) · from $6Top rated

Self-guided Brasov Haunted Past quest through dark streets and parks with Klingsor. App ticket, 1h46, low cost.

“I’d recommend you Uber to the first location or plan on a long initial walk! The experience was a fun way to kill time on our last day in Brasov but we were expecting more time around the city center rather than a 20+ minute walk to the first location! After that the walks were much shorter but we were already a bit burnt out before we began. Otherwise a lot of fun and well done! More of a history walking tour than a game.”
