10 Coolest Places to Celebrate Halloween

One of the most expected holidays of the year is coming, and you still have no idea where to celebrate it? Shame on you – there is a huge amount of amazing and atmospheric places to visit. Different spots worldwide are either directly connected to Halloween or have mysterious and dark past. Are you too lazy to google yourself, however, still want to find out what ten coolest places to celebrate the holiday are? Then keep on reading!
Salem, the United States
This city is one of the best places to go for Halloween. Situated in Massachusetts in the United States, the city has the darkest history – in 1692, there were numerous witch trials here. It has even a nickname of the Witch City. The thing is the Puritans were the first to come to Salem, and they did not accept any other faith or religion that is why they were strict with all the suspicious women. Nowadays, Salem cherishes its history with all its defects and organizes the most amazing Halloween each year! Dozens of cafes and restaurants are decorated and offer creepy food and drinks. The massive costume parades take place in the center of the city. Visit this place, and you will see yourself!

Transylvania, Romania
One of the best Halloween places is the historical region of Transylvania. Why? Because it is the motherhood of Dracula according to Bram Stoker. If you have an opportunity to visit the famous Bran Castle on Halloween, you would never forget this holiday! It is the home for Vlad the Impaler that served the inspiration for Dracula. Having a tour through the castle during the night of Halloween and listening to the horrible legends connected to the name of the prince – what can be more thrilling? If you cannot visit the castle, just stay anywhere in Transylvania – whether you would choose the village or the city, you will be really impressed by the architecture and the beautiful Carpathian mountains.

Dublin, Ireland
Well, actually, you can celebrate Halloween in any city in Ireland. Why? Because it is the motherhood of the holiday itself! Yes, the holiday’s roots are from Ireland, and this beautiful country is welcoming the tourists from around the globe. One of the best cities for Halloween would be, of course, Dublin. It is the capital and an extremely beautiful city. You will not find any place that has no spooky decorations – all the cafes and restaurants amaze their customers by the craziest decorations and amazing food and drinks. As for the entertainment on the streets, you would witness the fireworks, costume parades, and ghost tours.
London, the United Kingdom
One of the best Halloween cities is, of course, the motherhood of Jack the Ripper and Sweeney Todd. What we advise you to do is book one of the amazing tours that will take you to the places where Jack the Ripper murdered his victims or visit the Fleet Street where the former barber shop of Sweeney Todd was located. You will be impressed to see the place where William Wallace was executed – the terrifying atmosphere is still there. Believe us, you will vividly sense it on the Halloween night! Finally, you can visit the London Dungeon if you look for the adrenaline rush.

Mexico City, Mexico
If you wish to feel Halloween on a completely different level as compared to what you are used to, then visit Mexico City. Mexicans celebrate the holiday just like the rest of the world, but the traditions are a bit different – it seems as if they put much more sense to them. Have you ever seen the makeup that is associated with Mexico but never knew how it is called? Well, it is called Catrina, and it belongs to the famous Mexican illustrator José Guadalupe Posada. Do you want to see this makeup in reality in the country of its origin together with numerous amazing costume parades? Then visit Mexico!
