Ryanair today (15th Oct) launched a flash sale offering 15% off fares for travel from now until December 18th. As Halloween approaches, it’s time to embrace the eerie and enchanting, and what better way to spend the spooky season than exploring some of Europe’s scariest cities;
London: London is full of haunted historical sites; From the tombs beneath London Bridge to Victorian cemeteries to the infamous Ten Bells pub – a central London pub which is thought to be possessed by the ghost of one of Jack The Ripper’s victims, Annie Chapman – London is the ultimate destination to rattle your bones this Halloween.
Bruges: You might remember the film In Bruges describing the city as a ‘fairytale town’, but if the ghost stories are to be believed, it’s closer to a nightmare. Many ghost hunters travel to Belgium to explore the IM Cooling Tower and Château Miranda, two of the country’s creepiest abandoned buildings. The city’s most infamous story is of a monk and a nun who lived on the River Reie; the monk was in love with the nun but murdered her and buried her body in a secret tunnel. The two now haunt the streets of Bruges and its people, disappearing at midnight.
Dublin: Speaking of Dracula, the iconic vampire was created by Dubliner Bram Stoker. Ireland’s capital city hosts a festival in the author’s honour each October with four days of spooky adventures. But if you’re not visiting in October, you can still celebrate Dracula’s legacy at Castle Dracula in Stoker’s hometown of Clontarf. If you’re looking for a truly creepy experience, make a trip to Dublin’s Hellfire Club on Montpellier Hill. It was once a hunting lodge where, if the stories are to be believed, some truly horrifying things took place.
Ryanair’s 15% flash sale is available to book from now until midnight tonight (15th Oct) only at ryanair.com.
