Budapest, Hungary |
No visit to Budapest is complete without a bath in one of its world-famous thermal spring spas. The ancient Romans had already discovered the healing effects of the thermal springs on the area we call Budapest today. The bath culture however only started to develop during Turkish times.
By booking your tickets in advance, you do not have to wait in a queue; fast & easy entrance is provided through Hungária Koncert's separate Welcome desk. The Szechenyi Bath is Budapest’s largest thermal spring bath, which was built in 1913 in the Neo-Baroque style. Its thermal spring is one of the deepest and warmest in the city. It is situated in the City Park, opposite the City Circus and it can be reached by metro line M1 (the name of the station is Szechenyi fürdõ). It is the largest and most important of all the thermal spas on the Pest side, with its numerous indoor and outdoor pools.
And then Budapest is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, according to a New York Times article, and millions of tourists from all around the globe. What makes it so special and different from the rest of the big European cities, is its various architecture and the opposition in the city itself. The contrast between the two parts of the city divided by the river Danube is extraordinary and unmatched throughout the world. The perfect way to enjoy this must-have experience is with a high-class boat cruise under all 6 of the main bridges in the city.
With the river cruise, you will have the chance to try out all of the greatest dishes the Hungarian kitchen can offer while enjoying traditional gypsy and folk music performed by three members of the world-famous Hungaria Folk Ensemble and Orchestra. The wide variety of Hungarian and international dishes are prepared by world champion food sculptor Péter Molnárka who ensured that they will meet all your expectations, whether you’re a vegetarian, a gourmet, or a real sweet-tooth. What makes this cruise really special is its timing. With this 90 minutes cruise, you will have a chance to see the city with all of its illuminated glory. All of our ships are air-conditioned and have open-air balconies where you can freely admire the exquisite night panorama.
After dinner, you can also admire the panorama from the open upper deck of the ship.
