They’re two of Europe’s great cities and for the month that’s in it, let’s look at scary Prague and Paris below our feet.
Because our friends Cassideeeeh Trrrrravel (soz) have flagged up what’s under the flagstones in the Czech and French capitals for frighteningly good prices.
And while most will look up in wonder, and rightfully so, at the Astronomical Clock and Charles Bridge and Eiffel Tower and Montmartre in those cities.
For horror fans the fun is going underground.
Only here for the beer and the Fear
In Prague, the city of 1,000 spires the aspiring ghost lives down under the floorboards of Prague Fear House.
This being the country where more people drink beer per head of population than any other in the world your tour naturally revolves around a bar.
We’re told it is lit with dark, gothic interiors shades and gooey candy eyeballs garnishing tiki cocktail mugs.
Our grisly associates at Europehaunts tell us that there are a choice of hardcore and regular tours where you interact with actors.
All guaranteed to make you go shriek in the night and retailing from £5854pp.
As much as any nuclear bunker, the likes of which we saw on our dip down.
To that post-apocalyptic world on our Prague Communist Tour.
You’ll travel out on January 10, 2025 for two nights staying at the 4* Hotel St George. Prices from €249pps.
The fear of Dieu
Now, if Prague can be scarily good then mais oui Paris would put the fear of Dieu into you.
Particularly if you’re paying homage to Oscar Wilde or Edith Piaf at the Pere-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris at closing time.
And the Monsieur comes a-ringing his bell to get you out.
Paris is we know haunted by hunchbacks and horrifying hommes et madames from the other world.
And boasts the largest underground ossuary in the world, the Catacombes of Paris.
A 1500m-long route 20 metres deep, for an extraordinary visit.
You’ll fly on January 17 for two nights.
And stay at the 4* The Originals, Maison Montmartre. Prices from €229pps.
