13 Must-Visit Witchy Destinations Around the World
There are places where magic still breathes in the stones, the trees, and the winds.
For years, I felt like something was missing every time I traveled. Yes, the beaches were beautiful, the museums inspiring, the food divine… but my soul still craved something deeper. I longed for places where mystery and magic weren’t just whispered about, but lived and breathed in every corner.
One summer, I made a bold decision: I would only visit places where witches, legends, and ancient magic ruled the land. That journey opened a portal inside me that I’ve never closed—and honestly, I never want to. Every stone circle, every misty forest, every haunted ruin whispered, Welcome back, Sister.
If you’re feeling that same call, you’re going to love this guide. Let’s journey together through 13 witchy destinations around the world where the veil is thin, the spirits are near, and your inner magic will awaken with every step.
1. Salem, Massachusetts, USA
Salem isn’t just a tourist spot—it’s a pilgrimage for modern witches. Walk the cobblestone streets where the infamous 1692 Witch Trials unfolded, visit the Salem Witch Museum, and feel the powerful energy of resilience and remembrance that fills the air.
Don’t miss the Witch House, the Burying Point cemetery, or the stunning Hex: Old World Witchery shop. Salem especially comes alive around Halloween, but magic lingers year-round.
2. Glastonbury, England
Steeped in Arthurian legend and goddess worship, Glastonbury feels like stepping into a dream. Climb the Glastonbury Tor, a sacred hill wrapped in myth, and visit the Chalice Well Gardens, where crystal-clear waters are said to have healing properties.
Locals speak of Avalon with reverence, and once you breathe in the mist that curls around the fields, you’ll understand why.
3. The Black Forest, Germany
The Schwarzwald (Black Forest) is a landscape straight out of a fairy tale—because it literally inspired the Brothers Grimm. Beneath its towering evergreens, you’ll find ancient ruins, hidden villages, and legends of forest witches who still walk the trails by moonlight.
Plan to hike, but also take time to listen. The forest has secrets for those who move slowly.
4. Delphi, Greece
Once known as the center of the world, Delphi was home to the legendary Oracle of Apollo, where priestesses—known as the Pythia—delivered prophecies. Today, the ruins still hum with the power of ancient divination.
Walk the Sacred Way, touch the Temple of Apollo’s broken columns, and leave an offering if you feel called. The spirit of prophecy is alive and well here.
5. Edinburgh, Scotland
Edinburgh is layered with ghost stories, witch trials, and powerful feminine history. Explore the Royal Mile where accused witches once walked to their fate, then visit the Edinburgh Castle, whose looming presence holds countless mysteries.
For the truly brave, take a ghost tour through the underground vaults—trust me, you will feel the energy shift.
6. Sedona, Arizona, USA
If you’ve ever dreamed of a place where Earth’s energy feels tangible, Sedona is your destination. Known for its vortex sites, Sedona offers breathtaking red rock formations, powerful meditation spots, and a thriving community of modern mystics.
Visit Bell Rock or Cathedral Rock at sunrise or sunset, and prepare to feel your soul stir.
7. Isle of Skye, Scotland
The Isle of Skye is pure, untouched magic. Rugged coastlines, fairy pools with sparkling turquoise water, and misty mountains create a landscape where the fae are never far away.
Visit the Fairy Glen and Fairy Pools; legends say that respectful travelers are sometimes blessed by the unseen folk.
8. New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
No list of witchy destinations would be complete without New Orleans, a city pulsing with voodoo, hoodoo, and Creole magic. Visit the tomb of Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo Queen, stroll through the French Quarter, and explore enchanting shops like Erzulie’s Authentic Voodoo.
At night, join a haunted history tour—the spirits here love visitors.
9. Tulum, Mexico
Beyond its turquoise beaches, Tulum holds a rich history of Mayan spirituality and cosmic wisdom. Explore ancient temples where priests once studied the stars and honored the gods.
Book a temazcal (sweat lodge) ceremony to purify your body and spirit under the guidance of local healers. The Mayan spirits still bless these lands.
10. The Carpathian Mountains, Romania
The wild, sweeping Carpathians are wrapped in legends of forest witches, vampires, and shapeshifters. Visit Bran Castle (often called Dracula’s Castle), but more importantly, wander into the forests, where the energy feels primal and ancient.
It’s a place to connect with your darker, wilder witch self.
11. Sintra, Portugal
Sintra feels like a city dreamt up by fairies. Between its fog-shrouded castles, enchanted forests, and secret gardens, every corner breathes romance and mystery.
Don’t miss the Quinta da Regaleira, a palace full of alchemical symbols, underground tunnels, and spiraling wells that whisper secrets to those who listen.
12. Val Camonica, Italy
Hidden away in northern Italy, Val Camonica houses thousands of prehistoric petroglyphs—carvings etched into stone by ancient peoples. Many depict symbols of the Goddess, nature spirits, and cosmic journeys.
It’s an often-overlooked place where you can walk among the original spells carved into the bones of the Earth herself.
13. Mt. Shasta, California, USA
Revered by Native American tribes and modern mystics alike, Mount Shasta is believed to be a portal to other dimensions. Shasta’s snow-capped peak radiates an almost otherworldly calm, perfect for deep meditation and spiritual retreats.
Legends say it’s home to ancient Lemurians—and when the mist curls just right, you might catch a glimpse of another world.
Let the Earth Be Your Spellbook
Every time I visit a place steeped in magic, I remember something ancient within myself—something that modern life often makes me forget. The world still holds wildness, wonder, and wisdom, if only we have the courage to seek it out.
