The "Spa City":

Many of the thermal baths in Budapest are century-old, most importantly the Turkish baths, like the Kiraly Bath, Rudas Bath or Veli Bej Bath (the former Kaiser Bath or Császárfürdő). Interestingly enough, the most popular bath complex in Budapest, Szechenyi Baths and Pool, was only opened at the end of the 19th century (in a makeshift house, later on, transformed into a beautiful palace). Another Budapest bath, which is architecturally equally stunning, or maybe more, is the Art Nouveau spa baths complex, the Gellert Baths at the foot of the Gellert Hill. Needless to say, the Turkish baths are unique with their original octagonal Turkish pools covered with mysterious domes with colourful glasses. When in Budapest, go to the baths. Even if you are not a big fan of public bathing, it is well worth putting aside your reservations about baths. But if you are not a water person, in this guided tour we can still visit the baths to see the building. So, if you are temped, you can book a chocolate massage or just enjoy personal treatments, hydrotherapy, mud therapy, beer bath, ... etc.
