What is better than visiting the most famous natural waters in Europe and relaxing with massages and thermal baths?
When you visit Budapest, especially for the first time, you know you MUST visit at least one of its thermal baths. The Pearl of the Danube has so many natural warm spring waters, that visiting a thermal bath is the reason most travellers visit the city.
The Szechenyi Bath is the biggest and of course the most famous one in Budapest. Besides that, it is one of the biggest natural hot spring spa baths in Europe.
The 18 pools are open all year long, even in the winter. The outdoor pool can reach a temperature of up to 40 degrees Celsius, which makes it a perfect choice for your winter vacation. The chess-boards on the sides of this pool, are something special and interesting to watch when everything around you is covered in snow.
What you will need with you
- Towel or bathrobe (bathrobe is a way better choice for the winter)
- Flip-flops (optional)
- Bathing suit
- A change of clothes
- Hairdryer (optional)
Tips:
***You have the option to buy towels, flip flops, shampoo & bath gel from there.
Flip-flops: The floors in the spa are quite dirty, even though they are being cleaned every few minutes.
Bathrobe: If you visit during the winter and choose to go to the outdoor pool, you will freeze when you get out.
