Ghost tours
There are haunted places in the city, did you know? Oh yes, legends tell scary stories. That’s why we wanted to write an article just about these unusual tours to do in the city for Halloween. You can find them all here.
Incantum Rome
For lovers of the world of Harry Potter, Incantum is a dream come true. Between pizzas with enchanted names, “screaming” desserts and magical beers, this Roman pub promises a very special Halloween. There are no official details yet, but it is almost certain that an exclusive evening will be organized on the evening of October 31. Booking is difficult, but trying your luck is part of the game!
Tour of the Crypt of the Capuchin Friars.
If you are looking for something really atmospheric to warm up your engines before the night of Oct. 31, this tour is perfect. At 4:15 p.m., an experienced guide takes you to the Crypt of the Capuchin Friars, beneath the Church of St. Mary of the Conception. Bones from 4,000 friars decorate the chapels, creating a scene as eerie as it is fascinating.
Tickets: 44€, tour in English. You can purchase them here.
Museum of the Souls in Purgatory
If you’re in Rome, you don’t need parties or special events to have fun on October 31. For a truly out-of-the-ordinary Halloween night experience, visit the Museum of the Souls of Purgatory. Located next to the neo-Gothic Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Prati (nicknamed the “little cathedral of Milan”), it houses eerie objects such as fabrics, books and clothing marked by the alleged fireprints left by the deceased in search of prayers.
This is a unique collection that mixes faith, mystery and otherworldly suggestions: perfect for a different Halloween night than usual.
Address: Lungotevere Prati, 12, 00193 Rome
Excursion to Calcata, the “village of witches” near Rome
Finally, less than an hour from the capital, the medieval village of Calcata is famous for its stone houses suspended over the cliff and its atmosphere that is nothing short of magical. In the 1960s it was populated by artists, esotericists and free spirits, who made the village a veritable laboratory of creativity … and mysteries. During Halloween, Calcata often hosts small events, street performances and alley parties. Even without any major official celebrations, walking through its alleys at nightfall is a chilling experience.
