Press Release: Spooktacular cities

Friday 26th September 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

As Halloween comes creeping towards us Railbookers have examined our x files to find the most spooktacular cities. Halloween breaks from £199.

Explore paranormal Paris in Père Lachaise Cemetery. Wander the avenues of this city of the dead and pay a visit to the final resting places of famous inhabitants such as Edith Piaf, Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison. Visit Paris and stay at the 3* Mercure Terminus Nord from £199 per person for 3 nights with the 3rd night free, including breakfast and return train travel.

Put the chill into the Czech Republic with a devilish day trip to the Ossuary in Kutna Hora, just an hour outside of Prague. This creepy chapel contains the bones of about 40,000 people arranged in the form of a ghoulish chandelier, kooky coat of arms and blood-curdling bells. Visit Prague and stay at the 4* gothic style Elite Prague Hotel from £519 per person for 2 nights, including breakfast and return train travel.

For things that go bump in the night check out eerie Italy or more specifically the Christian Catacombs of Rome, the underground vault containing the remains or Rome’s Christians as far back as the 2nd century. Visit Rome and stay at the 3* Superior Hotel Alexandra from £539 per person for 2 nights, including breakfast and return train travel.
