01 / About the event
What Is Halloween in Transylvania?
Halloween in Transylvania (HIT) is a national Erasmus event that brings together international students studying in Romania for a unique Halloween adventure.
Instead of celebrating Halloween in a regular club or student dorm, participants travel to Transylvania, the region famous for its castles, medieval towns, and the legendary Dracula story.
The event combines exploring Romania, meeting fellow Erasmus students, and celebrating Halloween in one of the most atmospheric places in Europe.
From castle visits and city explorations to themed parties and cultural activities, the experience blends everything that makes the Erasmus journey special.
More than a Halloween event, this is a story of friendship, adventure and unforgettable Erasmus memories.
