Budapest (Day 9) 26 May 08 Szechenyi Baths


You can't leave Budapest without visiting their famous thermal baths. We are so glad that we went and tried it. It was really cool and we enjoyed it lots. What a great experience!


The water was very hot around 38 degrees. It was like having a hot bath. :) I will suggest going there early in the morning which we did. Because there will be less people and the water should be cleaner. hahaha We got there around 7am and left before 9am. :)

We also went to the swimming pool. The water was much cooler around 26 degrees. If we stayed in Budapest for another week, we would go there again for sure!

Info: Széchenyi Bath (XIV. Állatkerti út 11): The Széchenyi is one of the biggest bathing complexes anywhere in Europe, whose hot spring – both the city’s hottest and deepest – was discovered in 1879. The neo-baroque building containing the thermal baths dates from 1913 and the adjacent swimming pool opened in 1927. The water is so warm that the outdoor pools are popular with bathers even in the depths of winter!
