Enjoy an extra day in Romania when you visit the haunted land of Vlad Tepes III, known to history as Vlad the Impaler and movie lovers as Dracula with Kaiserslautern Outdoor Recreation!

After arriving in Romania, you will enjoy the biggest and best Dracula themed weekend in the KMC, where you will spend four days exploring the Carpathian mountains of Transylvania, home of the infamous Wallachian prince. Arriving a day early and spending an extra night at a modern and luxurious four star hotel in Brasov gives you more time to visit more sites associated with Vlad Dracula, including his birthplace and grave, as well as attending Romania’s premiere Halloween event, a spooky night tour of “Dracula” Castle, immediately followed by the Halloween party in the Gala Tent in the castle gardens! Your package includes an extra overnight, daily breakfasts, delicious themed dinners, admission to many attractions, as well as round trip airfare and an included airport shuttle service to and from Pulaski Barracks. For an even better deal, book your own airfare and meet the group in Romania with our Land Travel Only Package.

This spooktacular Halloween trip sold out in 2015 and 2016 and is expected to do so again in 2017. Available spaces on this trip will vanish like a vampire does when it smells garlic.
