Bloodthirsty in Budapest
Judging by the hit books, movies and television shows, you'd think the only place vampires bear their fangs is in Forks, Washington or Bon Temps, Louisiana (for those not up on the latest vamp trends, we're referring to Twilight and True Blood).
But stories of the coffin-dwelling creatures have been bleeding into popular history since 15th century Europe. Eager to indulge the dark curiosities of vampire-loving guests, Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest has created the exclusive new "Twilight in Budapest" tour.
Guests can recline in the back of a limo as they get a tour of this beautifully gothic city. You'll travel through cobblestone streets and up a winding hill to Visegrad Castle, where a sadistic fellow called Vlad the Impaler — the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula — was kept prisoner for more than 10 years.
After the half-day tour, return to the Hotel's historic bar and drink a toast to all things vampire with a glass of Bikaver, or "Bull's Blood." But don’t worry; it’s just a hearty red Hungarian wine. (Phew!)
Are you daring enough to take a bite out of Hungary's vampire culture? Make a trip to Four Seasons Hotel Budapest part of your ritual.
