1. Spooktacular Halloween Getaways

Depending on how much you can afford to splash out and the time you have available, there are endless choices for a terrifying trip, or spooky stay for Halloween. London’s historical horrors include Jack the Ripper and Sweeny Todd. Visit London Dungeons, for an interactive experience of London’s ghoulish past, or take in a ghostly walking tour, or the Tower of London - home to the Bloody Tower and where King Henry VIII executed two of his wives. Or opt for a trip to Ballygally Castle in Ireland, reputedly one of the most haunted places in Ulster and take in a Halloween afternoon tea. Try Prague, a top Gothic destination and reputedly among the most haunted cities in Europe. Soak up the atmosphere in the winding medieval Old Town, or Torture Museum. According to folkelore, Prague’s Houska Castle on the city outskirts is believed to be built over a gateway to hell. What’s scarier than that? Bruges, Belgium boasts the iconic creepy IM Cooling Tower and Château Miranda attracting ghost hunters from around the world. But there are thousands of other choices for those who dare…
