Are the spas in Budapest worth it?
Visiting one of the thermal baths in Budapest is an absolute must if you decide to go on vacation in Hungary. Hungary is the third most thermal country in the world (after Iceland and New Zealand) and Budapest is the only capital in the world that has rich thermal waters with healing properties. All nine of Budapest’s thermal baths are mixed, except for Rudas Bath, which welcomes women on Tuesdays and men on the remaining weekdays, and opens to everyone at the weekends. The baths are very safe for single women, with many locals visiting for a solo soak.For me, Szechenyi has more to offer and is a must-visit in the city. But overall, Gellert was more relaxing because it was quieter, and the indoor baths are much nicer. If you want outdoor baths, go to Szechenyi.

This is the largest medicinal bath in Europe; from steaming outdoor pools to saunas and salt chambers, it’s the perfect spot to soak, sweat, and chill.
