Thermal Baths
Budapest is the richest city in mineral springs in Europe. The Hungarian capital has 128 springs, 32 baths, of them are 9 officially called spas. When the Romans came to Budapest 200 years ago, they were the first, who realized the healing effects of the thermal springs, and they established baths. The most baths were built during the Turkish occupation in Hungary, baths had a very important role in the cultural and political life of this age. The baths and spas we can enjoy now were built in the 19th century. One of them is the Széchenyi Thermal Spa, which is one of the most popular baths in the city. Its building is beautiful and has many in- and outdoor, thermal, diving and entertainment pools and saunas.
