Budapest is a charming destination and not many are aware about the huge number of thermal baths in this capital city of Hungary. This landlocked nation has more than 1,300 thermal water springs, with 123 in Budapest alone!

With these water springs, it allows for year-round bathing in spas all over the country. Budapest is also the spa capital of the world! The 123 natural hot springs are a wonder of nature as the water is naturally heated by the earth’s crust. These waters also created beautiful underground phenomena such as the Pálvölgyi Cave in the Buda Hills.

Szechenyi Bath is the biggest and most popular of all the thermal baths in Budapest. The spring waters of Szechenyi Bath were discovered in the 1880s. The complex is made of two baths that are said to have healing properties, which are pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory. The 18 pools in Szechenyi Bath are open every single day throughout the year, including national holidays.

The Danube River is the second largest river in Europe running through the Black Forest to the Black Sea. It is especially significant in Budapest because it separates the city into two: Buda and Pest.

The tram network is one of the finest in Europe and the old yellow trams are a hallmark of Budapest. Budapest is a great destination as it is close to many countries in Eastern Europe and offers a culture of its own. The currency used in Hungary is the Forent unlike the Euro in most of Europe. Credit cards are accepted at almost all places.
