Why Budapest Is The Thermal Bath Capital Of The World

Often referred to as the "City of Spas," Budapest sits on over 100 hot springs that feed into over a dozen thermal baths, many of which date back centuries. One of the more well-known baths was built by the Turks in 1566. All across the city, visitors can experience a variety of thermal bath experiences, from calming therapeutic spas to lively and entertaining bath parties.

According to Hungary Today, Budapest spas attracted 4.5 million visitors in 2017, with Budapest’s biggest hot spot, Széchenyi, drawing in 1.7 million visitors alone. Learn more about what makes Budapest the thermal bath capital of the world.

Who else wants to go there but is grossed out that 70% water would be just piss

[zuko]

It's all fun and games until you saw a strange yellow smoke in the water

This looks so weird and awesome at the same time

[felixmiller]

👍 I love Budapest 👍 I used to bath at the Gellert. Fantastic to relax and the sulfur is great for the skin. I don't understand the negative comments below because it was very clean. Hungary is a beautiful country full of treasures. The food is delicious👏😊

My dad is from there! I’m going to ask him about this

[mrmoon]

It's dangerous not knowing somebody *_pee'd_* in there😂

[colleensdan]

These would be nice if they weren’t crammed full with people.. just thinking of what’s going to be in that water 🤢🤢

I think the best in BUDAPEST is Veli Bej bath. By the way this is the oldest by date but the cleanest in the whole city

Looks disgusting and fun at the same time. Seems more like an onsen/hot spring than a bath to me.

The Japanese are pretty good at it too.

some of yall act like you have never been to a bath house before, you're gonna be fine, jesus. they clean the water regularly, pissing in the pool is not the norm like it seems to be where you guys come from (??), and you don't drink from the pool, you drink from special thermal water taps.
