#2024Travel Review Budapest is known as the "City of Hot Springs" and has many hot spring baths with a long history and different styles. Taking a hot spring bath is definitely a must-do when you come here, and we chose the Széchenyi Thermal Bath (Széchenyi Thermal Bath) located in the city park, which is also one of the largest hot spring baths in Europe. After getting off the subway, you can walk for a few minutes to see this building with a goose-yellow appearance that looks like a European palace. It provides multiple indoor and outdoor hot spring pools. The most recommended thing is of course the large outdoor pool. It's like being in a swimming pool - it's so fun. And you can also see locals playing chess leisurely in the pool. The whole atmosphere is very interesting! The spring water here comes from geothermal heat and is rich in minerals. It is said to be very helpful for rheumatism and arthritis. I sincerely recommend that everyone who comes to Budapest must experience this healing hot spring experience. 🚇 Transportation: You can take metro line M1 to Széchenyi fürdő station. #budapest #széchenyi hot spring #SzéchenyiThermalBath #hot spring capital #Europe’s largest hot spring #Hungary travel #hot spring recommendation #palace hot spring #Budapest must visit

It’s walkable! If you like getting your steps in or there’s the tram & bikes. Walk along the river, start with the Buda palace, wander around the gardens & buildings for free or venture into the museums if you have the time! Street food KARAVÁN is a fun place to pick up some relaxed street food. Afternoon make your way to the city park with the Széchenyi Thermal Bath, just remember to take a towel & flip flops. It’s £20 off peak on the day & up to £38 if you book online in advance. The thermal baths & spa are amazing, remember to explore both sides of the indoor area, it’s much bigger than you think. Sunset around the city park is beautiful!! If you can spend 2/3 days in Budapest do it!! #citybreaks #budapest #castle #spa #europe

#photolocation My trip to Budapest was absolutely unforgettable! 🇭🇺 The city’s charm is undeniable, and there’s so much to see and do. I started with a visit to Buda Castle, which offers stunning panoramic views of the city. The entrance fee was around 2,000 HUF, and exploring the castle grounds was like stepping into history. 🏰 Strolling along the Danube Promenade was a highlight. The view of the Parliament Building from there, especially at sunset, is breathtaking. 🌅 For a cultural treat, I visited the Hungarian State Opera House, where a ticket to a performance was about 4,000 HUF. The architecture and the show were both spectacular. 🎭 I also enjoyed soaking in the Széchenyi Thermal Bath, where the entrance fee was about 5,500 HUF. It was so relaxing to unwind in the warm, mineral-rich waters. 🛁 Budapest’s mix of history, stunning architecture, and vibrant nightlife made it an incredible getaway. I can’t wait to return and explore more of this beautiful city! #trip #Budapest #BudaCastle #DanubeViews #SzéchenyiBath #HungarianOpera

#Waterpark #100 Ways to Travel The Hungarian water park is located in Budapest's #Széchenyi Gyógyfürdő és Uszoda. The hot spring refers to the water quality. The whole venue is more like a water park and spa pool. The exterior is a gorgeous yellow dome castle building with a super large outdoor pool and a variety of indoor pools, which is very distinctive. As you step into the castle-like goose yellow entrance, you will immediately be attracted by the black and white floor tiles, matched with the classical stone pillars and carved beams, so classic and fashionable! After purchasing the ticket, you will be given an entry wristband. It is recommended that you bring your own towel to avoid spending extra money, because the ticket is very expensive at 10,500 HUF, about NT$950! Although it is expensive, it is worth the experience. Imagine soaking in the swimming pool with the yellow castle as the background and the blue sky and white clouds as the backdrop. What a comfortable and refreshing experience! The photos taken here are so beautiful, it seems like the daily bathing experience of the nobles in the Middle Ages, so luxurious. The water temperature of the Szechenyi Hot Spring is not high, about 30 degrees. It is a bit hot in the summer, but it is super fun to soak in the winter, especially when it snows in Budapest. Imagine soaking in the castle pool covered with snow, the hot spring emitting steaming white smoke and hot air. How enjoyable it is! There is also a chessboard in the pool, where you can play a game of chess with the locals. It is an interesting scene to play chess while soaking in the hot springs! #Hungary Free Travel #Budapest Attractions #Szechenyi Thermal Baths

The current large bath is a mixture of water from these two springs. ⚠️When entering the outdoor heated pool, you will need a swimming cap, so you must bring it with you. #Budapest #Hungary #Széchenyi Spa

Today's itinerary is "taking a bath"! That’s right! Bathing is one of the important elements of human civilization; without bathing, it is difficult for civilization to progress. Mr. Archimedes figured out the principle of buoyancy while thinking in a bath! Budapest is located in a fault zone and has abundant hot spring resources. The spring quality is recognized as the best, which can nourish the skin and beautify the skin, but these are not the points. The point is that their hot spring baths are built very arrogantly and are as luxurious as a palace. Today we are bathing in Széchenyi, which is considered to be the largest medicinal bath in Europe. It has a total area of ​​6,220 square meters (slightly larger than Taipei Arena). The bath is divided into 3 outdoor pools and 16 indoor pools. Each pool has a different temperature and effect. If you soak in each pool, you will definitely be skinned!

The Hungarian hot springs that became famous through Yoshigo's photo exhibition! 🇭🇺 As soon as we arrived in Budapest on the night bus, we rushed to the Széchenyi Baths! It was so amazing to be in a place I'd only seen in photos ☺️ The fatigue from traveling was all gone 🥹🤍 It was really nice that there weren't many people because it was early in the morning! Since I like water, I also had fun in the pool at the hot springs 🏊🏻‍♀️ My friend said that we were the only ones who bought goggles at the Széchenyi Baths,, ㅋㅋㅋ (Caution) Since this is a hot spring, rash guards are prohibited! I went wearing a one-piece swimsuit that I wore in the photo in Korea, but the manager came and checked if the swimsuit was right 🥹 Usually, people wear bikinis or monokinis. I remember being really flustered because I thought I would be kicked out ㅠㅠㅠ After I explained to them in detail that it was a one-piece, they allowed me to go. Even thinking about it again, it's still really scary ㅠㅜ Those who see this, please prepare your swimsuit well 🫶🏻 📍Szechenyi Hot Springs Budapest, Állatkerti krt. 9-11, 1146 Hungary #HotPlace #Europe #EuropeTravel #Hungary #HungaryTravel #Budapest #BudapestTravel #HungaryBudapest #SzechenyiBaths #HungarySzechenyi

Heading to a spa could be a frequent thing to do for some of you, but have you gone to an outdoor thermal bath? Located in Budapest, Hungary. This is one of the most popular thermal bath in Budapest, and also the largest bath complexes in Europe! The water is supplied by 2 thermal springs, and there are 18 pools within the compound. This thermal bath is easily accessible by bus, and I would highly recommend you to visit during winter! I will also recommend purchasing your entry tickets in advance from online. #tripblazers #darwintravel #europe #budapest #thermalbath

#Swimming pool Szechenyi Baths in the middle of Budapest! I had such a great time. There is a 2m deep swimming pool in the middle and two outdoor hot springs. The outdoor hot springs are not very warm, but I was able to stay warm even on rainy days! There are also warmer hot springs indoors. ㅎㅎ If you rent just one cabin, you can use it as a changing room and luggage storage with your companions~ Including one cabin, it was about 54,000 won for 2 adults! It's so nice, so I recommend going with plenty of time❤️

#OverseasTravel Budapest is the city of hot springs! If you only go to one, I highly recommend going to this 👉🏻 Széchenyi Thermal Bath♨️ in the city park of northeastern Budapest. This is one of the largest hot springs in Europe, soaking in natural spring water is good for the body, especially for damaged joints ~ The whole hot spring area is very, very large, adopts the neo-Baroque architectural style, and feels gorgeous and elegant! There is a long queue to check in The hot springs have outdoor baths and indoors – there are also hydromassage pools, each with a different water temperature. However, seeing more people in the outdoor bath, the atmosphere was even better. There are towel lockers for rent, and the locker room is very neat, clean and large. I avoided the crowd and deliberately went to dip early in the morning, but I found that there were not many people😂 Especially the local older silver-haired people. 🚇Traffic Metro: Széchenyi fürdö station 📍 Széchenyi Thermal Bath Budapest, Állatkerti krt. 9-11, 1146 Hungary #HungaryTravel #EuropeTravel #OverseasTravel

The Budapest Parliament Building, which has a different atmosphere depending on the time of day, is a must-see attraction! When the sun sets, I recommend going up high to see the Parliament Building, and when the sun sets and you see the night view, I recommend looking at it up close :) If you relieve your tired body at the Szechenyi Baths while traveling, it will be a perfect trip~

Budapest is a captivating city where history and modernity blend harmoniously. Stretching along the Danube River, this city, often referred to as the 'Paris of Eastern Europe,' boasts elegant architecture and a rich cultural heritage. The twilight view from the Széchenyi Chain Bridge is an unforgettable spectacle. The reflection of the Parliament Building on the river is fantastical, like a fairy tale castle. From the Fisherman's Bastion and the Royal Palace in the Buda area, you can overlook the entire city. The thermal bath culture was also special. I experienced the true essence of Hungary among locals playing chess at the Széchenyi Thermal Bath. At the Central Market Hall, I embarked on a culinary journey, savoring the flavors of paprika and Hungarian sausage goulash. At night, I enjoyed the unique atmosphere and local wines at ruin bars. Szimpla Kert, in particular, was a space overflowing with artistic sensibility. Budapest is a gem of Eastern Europe, a place where traces of history and modern vibrancy blend perfectly.

Budapest is a city with so much histories and beautiful architectures. Travelling cost is rather affordable compared to other European cities and wandering around the city is considered pretty safe. The synagogue and szechenyi bath are absolute must-visit as no other places offer such experiences! Sightseeing by day and experience the night life by night! Night life in Budapest is very vibrant and what a vibe!

#seasonalplacesoverseas #Hungary #overseastravel Hungary is a hot spring powerhouse🇭🇺 I went to enjoy the Széchenyi Spa, Europe's largest hot spring complex, in Budapest, Hungary✨ It features beautiful neo-baroque buildings, and I thought, "This is like the world of Thermae Romae!!"😂🏛️ There were many differences between the hot springs and super sento that Japanese people think of, so I'll introduce them to you👀💫 ①Access Take the subway line 1 (M1) and head to "Széchenyi Spa" Get off at "fürdő" station. Széchenyi Baths is located in the Municipal Park, but it was easy to find because you can see the yellow building of Széchenyi Baths right in front of you when you leave the station☺️🍃 The journey takes about 15 minutes from the center🚋 ②Price Prices vary according to the following categories: Monday-Thursday < Friday-Sunday < Peak season✍️ The best deal is the Monday-Thursday morning ticket, which applies if you enter between 7am and 9am🌞 We used this to enter, but as of October 2024, it will be 8am. It was 1,400 HUF (≒ 3,400 yen)🎟️ Normal tickets for Monday-Thursday are 10,500 HUF, so it's about 850 yen cheaper😄 Not only is it cheap, but there are fewer people on weekday mornings, so it's a great time to go😎 No prior reservations are required, and you can purchase a morning ticket at the reception desk and pay by credit card🙆♀️ ③Things to bring In addition to swimsuits, flip flops are useful because the ground can be cold or hot depending on the season🩴 And one thing that's easy to forget is a towel!! There are no rental towels or swimsuits, so if you don't have them, you'll have to buy them, so be careful⚠️ We explained the situation to the hotel we were staying at and were allowed to take the towels from the room outside🥰 ④Lockers, changing rooms, makeup rooms, etc. Honestly, there was no clear information about these areas, and the information varied depending on what you looked at, such as lockers being separate for men and women, or cabin-type changing rooms being paid😅 However, when we actually went on a weekday morning, there were not many people, so the lockers were not separate for men and women, and we were able to use the cabin-type changing rooms freely😚🙏 The lockers were about the size of a large backpack, So, I don't recommend going with a suitcase~🙅🏻♀️ After bathing, there were about three vacuum cleaner-like (lol) hair dryers installed in the hallway that you could use for free, but there was no area where you could sit down and get ready💄⚡️ This area is different from the Japanese sense, and there was no washing area in the bath area, so it's better to think of it as a hot spring pool rather than a hot spring or public bath🤗 The main facilities are 18 hot spring pools and 10 saunas, both indoors and outdoors, and are available all year round🫧 If you're lucky, you might even encounter a cool old man playing chess in the hot spring🤭♟️ A popular place of relaxation for locals and tourists, so please enjoy it♨️

Lovely day relaxing at the spa in Budapest

I came to Széchenyi Spa in Budapest, Hungary. Széchenyi Spa is the most famous spa in Budapest, but it is quite large and has many types of spas and saunas. The temperature of the spa and sauna also varies widely. By the way, the most recommended is the flowing spa. This flows very fast (lol) Please note that there is a limit on admission, and if you buy a ticket on the day, it may take 2 or 3 hours in the worst case. You can make a reservation, so if you have time, make a reservation in advance. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttu8CifHBJmYHh9d9 #0yentripFebruary2025#Hungary #Budapest

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've said hello! I'm currently working in a small city called Montenegro in the Balkan Peninsula, but I went to Budapest on vacation to celebrate my birthday, and I had such great memories that I'm going to talk about the Szechenyi Baths. First, the Szechenyi Baths are one of the three major baths in Hungary, along with the Rudas Baths and the Gellert Baths..! But the reason I chose the Szechenyi Baths is because the Rudas Baths only have indoor baths, so I passed on them, and I was debating between the Gellert Baths and the Szechenyi Baths, but when I saw the Hungarian community, they recommended the Szechenyi Baths more, so I chose them! My story has gotten too long..🥺 Now let's get to the main text! Price of Szechenyi Baths = 12,500 Forints (based on weekend opening run) - Approximately 50,000 KRW I heard that if you reserve the entrance ticket in advance through various platforms in Korea, you can get it a little cheaper, so keep that in mind..! What to bring = Swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, hair tie (essential for women) - Actually, if you look at many blogs or reviews, they say to bring slippers, sunglasses, and various other things, but you don't need them at all. The essential items are sunscreen, a swimsuit, and a towel, which are enough! I think you should make your own judgment and bring what you need! + For those who want to swim in Szechenyi Baths, please note that the pool is currently under construction, so please note that you cannot use it! - Szechenyi Baths has 2 outdoor hot spring sections, several indoor hot spring sections, and 5 saunas! I think it would be nice to enjoy the hot springs outdoors and then experience the various indoor hot springs! The outdoor hot springs have a calm general hot spring pool on the right and an activity hot spring pool on the left, and both have different charms, so be sure to enjoy both!! (Many people don't know and only visit one!) Since I travel alone, I went to Szechenyi Baths with a companion through "Yurang" and it was so fun and healing that I used it for about 5 hours! Here's a tip: It opens at 8 o'clock..! When it opens, there aren't many people, so it's great for taking pictures!! But please note that after 10:30, there will be a lot of people and it won't be easy to take pictures!! I hope you enjoyed your visit to Szechenyi Baths through this post!! The next post will be about Budapest night view cruise vacation and tips, so please show a lot of interest❤️ Thank you for reading the long post!!!

#CanadaFlightEvent Among the famous tourist destinations in Budapest, the Szechenyi Baths is a beautiful swimming pool that many locals visit. The swimming pool is luxurious and magnificent, making it a beautiful place, but the charm of the day and night are completely different. Buy tickets in advance in Korea and go.

As soon as I arrived in Budapest by night bus from Prague, I went to the Szechenyi Baths. The facilities were a bit old, befitting its history, but the feeling of taking a bath in a place steeped in history was different. #BudapestTravel #Hungary #SzechenyiBaths

#MarchTravelSupportEvent Enjoy the Szechenyi Baths in Budapest in the winter. Isn't it exciting just to imagine a hot spring bath with an exotic atmosphere in an open-air hot spring? After the hot spring bath, we also recommend taking a walk in the nearby square. #EuropeTravel #Budapest #SzechenyiBaths

Budapest is famous for its three major hot springs! I visited Szechenyi Baths among them🙂 I went there on a rainy day, right at the opening time, but there were quite a few people! So I recommend going early on a clear day to enjoy it! I took a hot spring in the rain, but it was still romantic🫧 (By the way, you can't wear a rash guard at Szechenyi Baths!!!) Hungary is a country famous for its hot springs, so much so that 70% of the land is covered with hot springs! It's perfect for relieving your tired body while traveling, so I recommend going to a hot spring trip even if it's not Szechenyi Baths🫶🏻 It's a different story, but strangely, in Hungary, everyone asked me if I was Korean first! Usually, when traveling in Europe, people ask if I'm Chinese or Japanese first, but I was completely touched🥰 #MarchTravelSupportEvent #BudapestTravel #SzechenyiBaths

#overseastraveltrip 📍Széchenyi Spa Hungary🇭🇺Budapest Hungary is a hot spring powerhouse, and there are many hot springs throughout the city♨️ Unlike Japanese hot springs, it's a mixed bathing type where you wear a swimsuit‼ ️It feels like a Japanese heated pool. The bath temperature is also a little low at 37-38 degrees. When I went, the outside temperature was 0 degrees, and when I got out of the bath, it was freezing cold🥶 There was an old man playing chess in the bath, a place where you could drink beer while soaking in a beer bath, and everyone was having fun spinning around in a round hot spring to create a flow, so it was an interesting tourist spot‼ ️#Hungary #Széchenyi Spa #Budapest Please go and check it out!
