What is the Szechenyi Thermal bath like and is it a good experience? Let us show you this must visit place in Budapest!
We visited the Szechenyi Thermal Bath in Budapest. The city and the country has many famous thermal baths, but this one is definately the most famous of all of them. When I was young my grandmother used to bring me here as she was a big fan of the Thermal Bath experience. But that was a long time ago and I really dont remember much, even though I live in Budapest and technically can come anytime.
Today you see a lot of posts on instagram and facebook of people visiting the Szechenyi Thermal Bath, but is it really worth it coming here? From the pictures it certainly is a gorgeous complex, but does the experience live up to the hype? Let’s find out!
As per Wikipedia, The Széchenyi Medicinal Bath in Budapest is the largest medicinal bath in Europe. The water is supplied by two thermal springs, and their temperature is 74 °C (165 °F) and 77 °C (171 °F). Of course in the pools these waters are cooled down so us humans can also enjoy them 🙂 Components of the thermal water include sulfate, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate and a significant amount of metaboric acid and fluoride. These are apparently healthy, not just pleasent for your body 🙂
