In 2026, Halloween falls on Saturday, 31 October, and the next day, Sunday 1 November, is All Saints’ Day. That makes for a long, spooky weekend that is perfect for a city break. Instead of yet another house party, you can head to another city: play a night-time city game, catch a candlelight concert or go to a ball in a castle. Then you return to your own holiday apartment, where a kitchen, a comfortable sofa and a crew ready for an evening of scary games are waiting.
In this guide you will find ideas for Halloween games in your apartment, events for the weekend of 30 Oct–1 Nov in Warsaw, Wrocław, Poznań and the Tri-City, and specific RentPlanet apartments worth booking for these dates.
In short: for Halloween 2026, choose an apartment in the city centre with a kitchenette and enough beds for your whole group. On Friday 30 Oct you can look forward to horror film marathons, the Noc Upiorów (Night of Ghosts) field game in Poznań and Bloody Sexy Halloween in Warsaw. On Saturday 31 Oct there are balls and concerts in four cities, plus family workshops for kids. Sunday 1 Nov is a public holiday, so you can enjoy a relaxed journey home or an extra night in the city.
Last updated: 15 October 2026. Event programmes can change, so check dates, times and ticket availability on the organisers’ websites before you travel.

Halloween in an apartment – why it is a great weekend idea
Halloween is best celebrated with company. A hotel room does not help much here: it is hard to cook a shared dinner, set out board games or hold a best-costume contest. Renting an apartment gives you more space, privacy and freedom than a classic hotel, which is exactly what a group of friends or a family with kids needs.
In RentPlanet apartments you check in on your own, using an online app and an entry code, in under 2 minutes, with no queues and no reception desk. If something breaks or you need extra cleaning after a night of games, our team is available around the clock. Booking accommodation directly with us also means prices with no commission.
One note before you start: an apartment is not a ballroom. Buildings have neighbours, so run your evening of games in a way that respects quiet hours and the stay rules. Save the wildest fun for events in the city, and come back to the apartment for a pleasantly spooky finale.
Halloween game ideas for your apartment
If you prefer to spend the evening indoors, here are proven ideas that need very few props:
- Horror or spooky movie marathon. A smart TV and a comfy sofa are all you need. For families with kids, lighter “pumpkin” animations work well.
- Halloween dinner. Pumpkin cream soup, sausage “mummies” wrapped in puff pastry, ghost-shaped cookies. Cooking together in a fully equipped kitchen is half the fun.
- Best-costume contest. Everyone brings a piece of an outfit and votes anonymously on slips of paper. The winner picks the film for the evening.
- Mafia or Werewolf. One deck of cards and a few people are enough, and the excitement is guaranteed.
- Home escape room. Hide a few puzzles and keys around the apartment, and the crew has to “escape” before midnight. Easy to adapt to any age.
- Stories by torchlight. Switch off the lights, turn on torches or LED candles and let everyone tell the scariest story they know. Choose LEDs over open flame, which is safer in a rental.
- Spooky board games. Detective games or cooperative “escape” games fill an evening for two or four.
- Face paint and a photo shoot. A few cosmetics, a lamp and a phone are enough for photos that will make a great souvenir.
- Trick-or-treat, apartment style. For kids, set up a sweet treasure hunt with clues hidden in different rooms.
What to do outside the apartment? Halloween 2026 in four cities
From Friday 30 October to Sunday 1 November, a lot is happening in Poland’s biggest cities. Below are the events worth adding to your plan, along with a suggestion of where to stay.
Warsaw
The capital focuses on big club nights, but there is also a sporting event for the brave.
- Friday 30 Oct, Bloody Sexy Halloween at TheOne Warsaw (Mazowiecka 2/4). A party from 21:00 to 05:00 with dance shows and a costume contest with a EUR 500 prize. Ages 18+, and entering without a mask, make-up or costume involves an extra fee.
- Saturday 31 Oct, Student Halloween Warsaw at Club Capitol (Marszałkowska 115). Starts at 22:00, tickets from PLN 30, sold in price tiers, so the earlier you buy, the cheaper.
- Saturday 31 Oct, The Halloween on Szwedzka (Szwedzka 2/4, Praga-Północ). Starts at 22:00, headlined by DJ LOHLEQ, tickets from PLN 130.
- Saturday 31 Oct, Runmageddon Halloween Warsaw. A Halloween obstacle run in two formats: FAMILY (over 2 km, 15+ obstacles) and 5K (over 5 km, 20+ obstacles). A head torch is mandatory, because part of the course runs in the dark or after nightfall.
Where to stay in Warsaw? If you want to be close to the city’s entertainment, choose Apartament na Śródmieściu: a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, coffee machine and air conditioning, sleeping up to four, near the Palace of Culture and Science. An alternative is Apartamenty Chłodna in Wola, a few minutes’ drive from the Palace of Culture and the Royal Castle, with a tram stop nearby (note that there is no on-site parking). For guests travelling with a pet, Apartament Wola with air conditioning and a kitchenette is a good choice, and pets are welcome.
Wrocław
Wrocław celebrates Halloween from Friday, and on Saturday offers everything from candlelight concerts to a ball in a castle.
- Friday 30 Oct and Saturday 31 Oct, Halloween Marathon at Helios cinema. Night film marathons for horror fans who do not mind sitting in the dark for hours.
- Saturday 31 Oct, Bal Dzikich (Ball of the Wild) at Leśnica Castle (OPT Zamek, pl. Świętojański 1). An evening in atmospheric castle walls, from 21:00. Tickets are paid, and the castle is outside the strict city centre, so plan your return in advance.
- Saturday 31 Oct, “Halloween: Stranger Things” candlelight concert. A Dreamlive Concerts event at 18:00, a good choice for a calmer evening with no dancing.
- Saturday 31 Oct, Halloween Special – Ciało live: ALIGNMENT. A club night at NOT Wrocław from 22:00.
- Saturday 31 Oct, Halloween Swing Dance Party. From 18:00 at Wrocławska Stepownia, for those who prefer dancing to a swing beat.
In previous years, Hydropolis and Wrocław’s aquaparks also celebrated Halloween, so it is worth checking whether they return with special programmes this year.
Where to stay in Wrocław? Apartament Wyszyńskiego offers a balcony, air conditioning and private parking, and it is about 700 metres from Wrocław Cathedral. Apartament Zielińskiego has a balcony and is a short walk from the Polish Theatre and Kolejkowo. If you arrive by train, check out Apartamenty Centrum near the main railway station. These are good accommodation options in Wrocław both for a family weekend and for a trip with friends.
Poznań
Poznań is a proposition for fans of field games, cinema and club atmosphere.
- Friday 30 Oct, Noc Upiorów (Night of Ghosts). A field game at 18:30 in which small groups move around after dark. Great for a crew that likes competition.
- Friday 30 Oct, salsa and bachata Halloween Party (Codanza Academy, Jeleniogórska 16). A spooky night of Latin rhythms from 20:30.
- Friday 30 Oct and Saturday 31 Oct, Halloween Marathon at Helios cinema. Night horror marathons.
- Saturday 31 Oct, Halloween at Kino Apollo. Screenings from 17:00.
- Saturday 31 Oct, Halloween workshops at the Chocolate Museum. Starts at 18:00, a family event where kids work with their own hands.
- Saturday 31 Oct, evening parties: Shadow Dance Party at Klub pod Minogą from 19:00 and Cherry Halloween at Paderewskiego 10 from 22:00.
During the day, before things get scary, it is worth visiting the Old Market Square to see Poznań’s famous goats on the town hall, which appear daily at 12:00 and 15:00, and the St. Martin’s Croissant Museum.
Where to stay in Poznań? Apartament Święty Marcin sleeps up to four and is about 0.7 km from the Old Market Square, with the Stary Browar centre a few minutes’ walk away. Apartament Piekary is a convenient option for two, pet-friendly, right next to Stary Browar. If you plan a longer walk around the city, look at Apartamenty Rybaki: a kitchenette and about 10 minutes’ walk to the Old Market Square. It is a good choice if you are looking for accommodation in Poznań right in the centre.
Tri-City
Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia combine balls and concerts with family attractions and a seaside-city atmosphere.
- Friday 30 Oct, Jazz All Souls (Zaduszki Jazzowe) at Oria Magic House in Gdańsk. Live jazz with a Halloween twist, tickets PLN 80.
- Saturday 31 Oct, Halloween Circus of Horrors at Food Hall Montownia in Gdańsk (Lisia Grobla 7). Starts at 20:00, a club event with a circus theme.
- Saturday 31 Oct, Sztos Dead Night in Sopot and Sfinksowe Halloween in Gdynia (Podwórko Art), evening parties for those who prefer a more intimate vibe.
- Saturday 31 Oct, the Halloween GAiT tram in Gdańsk. A special tram runs on Gdańsk’s tracks after dark, an interesting ride for families and fans of city curiosities.
- For families with kids: on Saturday at 17:30, Czułosfera in Gdańsk hosts a dance-themed Halloween event for children aged 6–11, and Sopot has Uszate Halloween with refreshments and games.
Where to stay in the Tri-City? Apartament Piastowska in Gdańsk’s Przymorze district has one bedroom and room for up to four guests, is pet-friendly, and is near Jelitkowo beach and Ergo Arena, with Sopot a few minutes’ drive away. Apartament Przymorze is another option with a balcony for up to four guests. If you prefer the historic centre of Gdańsk, check Apartamenty Kapitanat on Stępkarska Street, near the Main Town. These are good seaside apartments in an urban version, also for an autumn weekend.

Practical tips for the weekend of 30 Oct–1 Nov
- Book early. The Halloween weekend sees high demand, and the best-located apartments go first.
- Buy tickets early. Many events sell in price tiers or have limited places, and last-minute tickets can be more expensive.
- Check age limits and dress codes. Some parties are for adults only, and some require a costume at the door.
- Plan your return. After a late-night party or a trip out of town, for example to Leśnica, it is easier to check taxis and connections in advance.
- Shop on Saturday. On Sunday 1 November, a public holiday, most shops are closed, so buy sweets and supplies for your evening together beforehand.
- Remember the solemnity of the day. 1 November is All Saints’ Day, a time of remembering loved ones. Fit your fun and noisy returns around the fact that many people visit cemeteries that day.
- Travelling with a pet? RentPlanet’s search has a “Travelling with a pet” filter, and each apartment lists its pet rules.
