        This self-guided ghost quest takes place in Budapest, Hungary, one of Central Europe's most historically layered capital cities. The route spans the Pest side of the city, moving through the grand public space of Heroes' Square, along Andrassy Avenue past the House of Terror, and into the grounds of Vajdahunyad Castle within City Park (Varosliget). Budapest's mix of Habsburg architecture, communist-era history, and medieval legends makes it a natural setting for dark tourism and mystery-based experiences. The area is well connected by public transport and is walkable for most visitors staying in the city center.
