Echoes in the Silence: A Haunting Journey Through Forgotten Walls
The Abandoned and Haunted Military Base Tour was one of the most fascinating and atmospheric experiences I've ever had. I went in expecting a few spooky stories and crumbling buildings—but what I got was a hauntingly beautiful journey through history, mystery, and decay that stayed with me long after it ended. The guide struck the perfect balance between storytelling and historical context, giving life to the eerie silence of the base without relying on gimmicks or clichés. Walking through overgrown barracks, rusted towers, and pitch-dark tunnels, I felt both the weight of forgotten stories and the strange peace that comes from places left to nature and memory. Whether or not you believe in ghosts, there’s something undeniably powerful about standing in a place where time has stood still. This tour wasn’t just about chills—it was about atmosphere, imagination, and connecting with a past that still lingers in the air. I appreciated how respectful the experience was—no jump scares, no theatrics—just an honest, immersive look at a site full of layers. If you enjoy off-the-beaten-path travel, abandoned architecture, or moody, cinematic environments, this tour is a must. It’s haunting in the best possible way.

AWESOME! - If You Are Into Military History, Do Not Miss This One!
As a couple, we have a shared interest in military history. We have been to several privately owned and government owned locations in our search of history world-wide. Many had restricted areas or limit how close you can get to the actual history…Not this place. We were picked up by Catalin in downtown Bucharest (right on time, I might add). He drove us about 45 minutes (give or take, depending on traffic) to Chitila Fort (Fortila #1 - Chitila), one of 18 abandoned World War I Bucharest fortifications encircling the city. During the trip, Catalin provided an overview of what we could expect to see. Upon arrival, Catalin showed us a map of the area, and verified we were prepared for the tour. Why? Because this is not a pristine, well maintained exhibit…This is truly an abandoned military fortress. Though hazards are minimal with a guide such as Catalin, you should wear sturdy footwear, come with a bit of water (unless you are with Catalin, who was very prepared for our comfort) and possibly a light jacket or sweatshirt if you cannot handle 16° - 20° (61° F - 68° F). If you think about it, bring a flashlight (lantern, torch or lamp), though Catalin had us covered with a couple of headlamps to use. The terrain is uneven with the occasional obstacle to climb over. Your footwear may be a little soiled, so do not wear your high-end street shoes. The virtually complete access to the fortress was awesome. With a guide like Catalin, you will not have any problems finding your way though. He was very knowledgeable of the past military and recent uses of the facility. We HIGHLY recommend this tour and Catalin! We had a great time! However, if you are one of those who cannot put your cellular telephone down or have to be online 7/24 (cellular service is not available in such a facility), cannot climb over a hip-height wall, are scared of the dark, or cannot brush by a bush, you might want to just go shopping instead.

A Thrilling Underground Adventure Through History!
Our tour of the abandoned Chitila Fortress with Sebastian was nothing short of incredible! He took us deep into the eerie underground tunnels of this First World War military base, where history, thrill, and adventure collided. A word of caution, this is not for the faint of heart. If you’re claustrophobic or afraid of darkness and somewhat tight spaces, you might find the deeper levels challenging. You could walk through any 'tight' spaces comfortable but there are some areas where you do need to duck to get through, but the darkness makes everything feel smaller. At one point, we turned off our lights to see if any natural light seeped in. Absolutely nothing. It was the deepest darkness I’ve ever experienced, and it was epic. Beyond the spine-tingling atmosphere, Sebastian made the tour both educational and fun. His deep knowledge of Chitila’s history, combined with his relaxed, humorous personality, made for an unforgettable experience. We were running late and starving before the tour, and he was kind enough to wait for us, so we shared our pizza with him. He was such a chill and funny guy, making even the creepiest parts of the fortress light-hearted with his stories. If you’re in Romania and up for a thrilling, off-the-beaten-path experience, this tour is a must. An incredible blend of history and adventure. Highly recommend!

A fun night tour
We could tell that our tour guide enjoys doing this tour. He picked us up from our hotel, we went to the fortress, and he gave us history on both the fortress and many places in Bucharest as we drove past them. The tour was in English. We did our tour at night, and it was spooky. We loved it.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Abandoned and haunted military base - the ghosts tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bucharest.
How much does Abandoned and haunted military base - the ghosts tour cost?
+
Prices start at $51 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bucharest usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Abandoned and haunted military base - the ghosts tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bucharest is not rushed.
Is Abandoned and haunted military base - the ghosts tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bucharest, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Abandoned and haunted military base - the ghosts tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Abandoned and haunted military base - the ghosts tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Abandoned and haunted military base - the ghosts tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bucharest can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bucharest and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Abandoned and haunted military base - the ghosts tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bucharest within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bucharest?
+
On Outty we rank every Bucharest experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Real tour of Communism, Bucharest Highlights Walking Tour, Top Gear Road, Small-group max 7 pax with Pick-up, Transfăgărăşan. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bucharest?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bucharest?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
