⛲️ Enjoy a blissful healing experience at the Széchenyi Baths in Budapest, Hungary! 🇭🇺


I visited the Széchenyi Thermal Baths, Europe's largest thermal baths, the perfect way to relieve travel fatigue.

The combination of the ornate Neo-Baroque architecture and the steaming outdoor baths made for a truly photogenic experience.

💡Tips for Making the Most of Széchenyi Thermal Baths
* Main Outdoor Pools: Széchenyi consists of three large outdoor pools and 15 indoor thermal baths, but the highlight is undoubtedly the outdoor pools.

The water temperature isn't as "hot" as in Korean hot springs, but rather lukewarm, slightly above body temperature, making it perfect for long soaks.

There are also swimming lanes (swim caps required!) and a lazy river, making for a more enjoyable experience than just relaxing.

* Grandfathers Playing Chess: One of the city's iconic sights! The sight of local grandfathers leisurely playing chess on a floating chessboard while soaking in the outdoor thermal baths adds a unique touch to Budapest's atmosphere.

⏰ Best Time to Visit
* Morning Opening: Visit early in the morning before the tourist groups arrive to enjoy a relatively quiet swim and photo opportunity.
* Night View: After sunset, the illuminated yellow buildings and the steam from the hot springs create a breathtaking nightscape that's not to be missed.

👙 Essentials🩴
To avoid long lines, it's essential to book your tickets online in advance.

Also, be sure to bring your own swimsuit, towel, and flip-flops for moving around indoors and outdoors!

(You can rent/purchase them on-site, but they're expensive.)

The hot springs are said to be good for rheumatism and arthritis,
so you can expect healing benefits that go beyond just a trip!

Soaking in the warm hot springs in the chilly air of Budapest was the perfect ending to all the travel fatigue!
