Night life in Budapest is very vibrant and what a vibe!

It’s walkable! If you like getting your steps in or there’s the tram & bikes. Walk along the river, start with the Buda palace, wander around the gardens & buildings for free or venture into the museums if you have the time! Street food KARAVÁN is a fun place to pick up some relaxed street food. Afternoon make your way to the city park with the Széchenyi Thermal Bath, just remember to take a towel & flip flops. It’s £20 off peak on the day & up to £38 if you book online in advance. The thermal baths & spa are amazing, remember to explore both sides of the indoor area, it’s much bigger than you think. Sunset around the city park is beautiful!! If you can spend 2/3 days in Budapest do it!! #citybreaks #budapest #castle #spa #europe

#photolocation My trip to Budapest was absolutely unforgettable! 🇭🇺 The city’s charm is undeniable, and there’s so much to see and do. I started with a visit to Buda Castle, which offers stunning panoramic views of the city. The entrance fee was around 2,000 HUF, and exploring the castle grounds was like stepping into history. 🏰 Strolling along the Danube Promenade was a highlight. The view of the Parliament Building from there, especially at sunset, is breathtaking. 🌅 For a cultural treat, I visited the Hungarian State Opera House, where a ticket to a performance was about 4,000 HUF. The architecture and the show were both spectacular. 🎭 I also enjoyed soaking in the Széchenyi Thermal Bath, where the entrance fee was about 5,500 HUF. It was so relaxing to unwind in the warm, mineral-rich waters. 🛁 Budapest’s mix of history, stunning architecture, and vibrant nightlife made it an incredible getaway. I can’t wait to return and explore more of this beautiful city! #trip #Budapest #BudaCastle #DanubeViews #SzéchenyiBath #HungarianOpera

#Waterpark #100 Ways to Travel The Hungarian water park is located in Budapest's #Széchenyi Gyógyfürdő és Uszoda. The hot spring refers to the water quality. The whole venue is more like a water park and spa pool. The exterior is a gorgeous yellow dome castle building with a super large outdoor pool and a variety of indoor pools, which is very distinctive. As you step into the castle-like goose yellow entrance, you will immediately be attracted by the black and white floor tiles, matched with the classical stone pillars and carved beams, so classic and fashionable! After purchasing the ticket, you will be given an entry wristband. It is recommended that you bring your own towel to avoid spending extra money, because the ticket is very expensive at 10,500 HUF, about NT$950! Although it is expensive, it is worth the experience. Imagine soaking in the swimming pool with the yellow castle as the background and the blue sky and white clouds as the backdrop. What a comfortable and refreshing experience! The photos taken here are so beautiful, it seems like the daily bathing experience of the nobles in the Middle Ages, so luxurious. The water temperature of the Szechenyi Hot Spring is not high, about 30 degrees. It is a bit hot in the summer, but it is super fun to soak in the winter, especially when it snows in Budapest. Imagine soaking in the castle pool covered with snow, the hot spring emitting steaming white smoke and hot air. How enjoyable it is! There is also a chessboard in the pool, where you can play a game of chess with the locals. It is an interesting scene to play chess while soaking in the hot springs! #Hungary Free Travel #Budapest Attractions #Szechenyi Thermal Baths

#EuropeanTravel Yoshigo's photo exhibition's hot spring🩵 The largest hot spring in Europe✨ With 3 outdoor hot springs and 15 indoor hot springs✨ The most famous of the 3 hot springs in Budapest✨ I understand why it's called a must-see for Budapest travel✨ 📍Szechenyi Baths ▪️Location: Állatkerti körút 9-11., Budapest 1146 Hungary ▪️Operating hours: 07:00-19:00 (varies by season, refer to the official website before going) ▪️Admission: General ticket (Mon-Thu: 9,400HUF / Fri-Sun: 10,900HUF) ▪️Tip: When visiting with multiple people, we recommend using the premium changing room 'Cabin' (must purchase on-site upon entry)

Visited Szechenyi Thermal Bath in Budapest Hungary. It is basically a large and castle like architecture design “ thermal pool”. This is the largest medicinal pool in entire Europe. The heated water is supplied by two thermal springs and temperatures at 74 degC and 77degC. There are 3 indoor and 15 outdoor bath pools, with varying temperatures level. There are both private and public bath pools. This complex is built in year 1913. Highly recommended for you to visit to enjoy the thermal bath but also enjoy the architecture of the building.

I went to Széchenyi Spa in Budapest, Hungary, one of the world's leading hot spring countries. The lines were divided into those with and without tickets, so I recommend purchasing in advance. The lines for same-day purchases were very long. I also recommend renting a cabin when purchasing tickets! There are outdoor hot springs outside and indoor hot springs inside (the indoor hot springs can be enjoyed at different temperatures depending on the hot spring). I think the hottest temperature was around 40 degrees. You can relax and unwind! Please go and check it out! #Hungary #Budapest #Europe #HotSpa #SzéchenyiSpa

Széchenyi Spa ★Location Budapest, Állatkerti krt. 9-11, 1146 Hungary The largest spa in Europe. It was named after Széchenyi István. It was divided into three open-air baths and 15 indoor baths. Around this time, the water supply from one spring began to be insufficient. A second spring was discovered during the second expansion in 1938. The current large bath is a mixture of water from these two springs. ⚠️When entering the outdoor heated pool, you will need a swimming cap, so you must bring it with you. #Budapest #Hungary #Széchenyi Spa

Today's itinerary is "taking a bath"! That’s right! Bathing is one of the important elements of human civilization; without bathing, it is difficult for civilization to progress. Mr. Archimedes figured out the principle of buoyancy while thinking in a bath! Budapest is located in a fault zone and has abundant hot spring resources. The spring quality is recognized as the best, which can nourish the skin and beautify the skin, but these are not the points. The point is that their hot spring baths are built very arrogantly and are as luxurious as a palace. Today we are bathing in Széchenyi, which is considered to be the largest medicinal bath in Europe. It has a total area of ​​6,220 square meters (slightly larger than Taipei Arena). The bath is divided into 3 outdoor pools and 16 indoor pools. Each pool has a different temperature and effect. If you soak in each pool, you will definitely be skinned!

The Hungarian hot springs that became famous through Yoshigo's photo exhibition! 🇭🇺 As soon as we arrived in Budapest on the night bus, we rushed to the Széchenyi Baths! It was so amazing to be in a place I'd only seen in photos ☺️ The fatigue from traveling was all gone 🥹🤍 It was really nice that there weren't many people because it was early in the morning! Since I like water, I also had fun in the pool at the hot springs 🏊🏻‍♀️ My friend said that we were the only ones who bought goggles at the Széchenyi Baths,, ㅋㅋㅋ (Caution) Since this is a hot spring, rash guards are prohibited! I went wearing a one-piece swimsuit that I wore in the photo in Korea, but the manager came and checked if the swimsuit was right 🥹 Usually, people wear bikinis or monokinis. I remember being really flustered because I thought I would be kicked out ㅠㅠㅠ After I explained to them in detail that it was a one-piece, they allowed me to go. Even thinking about it again, it's still really scary ㅠㅜ Those who see this, please prepare your swimsuit well 🫶🏻 📍Szechenyi Hot Springs Budapest, Állatkerti krt. 9-11, 1146 Hungary #HotPlace #Europe #EuropeTravel #Hungary #HungaryTravel #Budapest #BudapestTravel #HungaryBudapest #SzechenyiBaths #HungarySzechenyi

Heading to a spa could be a frequent thing to do for some of you, but have you gone to an outdoor thermal bath? Located in Budapest, Hungary. This is one of the most popular thermal bath in Budapest, and also the largest bath complexes in Europe! The water is supplied by 2 thermal springs, and there are 18 pools within the compound. This thermal bath is easily accessible by bus, and I would highly recommend you to visit during winter! I will also recommend purchasing your entry tickets in advance from online. #tripblazers #darwintravel #europe #budapest #thermalbath

#Swimming pool Szechenyi Baths in the middle of Budapest! I had such a great time. There is a 2m deep swimming pool in the middle and two outdoor hot springs. The outdoor hot springs are not very warm, but I was able to stay warm even on rainy days! There are also warmer hot springs indoors. ㅎㅎ If you rent just one cabin, you can use it as a changing room and luggage storage with your companions~ Including one cabin, it was about 54,000 won for 2 adults! It's so nice, so I recommend going with plenty of time❤️

#OverseasTravel Budapest is the city of hot springs! If you only go to one, I highly recommend going to this 👉🏻 Széchenyi Thermal Bath♨️ in the city park of northeastern Budapest. This is one of the largest hot springs in Europe, soaking in natural spring water is good for the body, especially for damaged joints ~ The whole hot spring area is very, very large, adopts the neo-Baroque architectural style, and feels gorgeous and elegant! There is a long queue to check in The hot springs have outdoor baths and indoors – there are also hydromassage pools, each with a different water temperature. However, seeing more people in the outdoor bath, the atmosphere was even better. There are towel lockers for rent, and the locker room is very neat, clean and large. I avoided the crowd and deliberately went to dip early in the morning, but I found that there were not many people😂 Especially the local older silver-haired people. 🚇Traffic Metro: Széchenyi fürdö station 📍 Széchenyi Thermal Bath Budapest, Állatkerti krt. 9-11, 1146 Hungary #HungaryTravel #EuropeTravel #OverseasTravel

Secchenyi Spa is a very famous attraction in Budapest. #OverseasTravel #OverseasTravel

The Budapest Parliament Building, which has a different atmosphere depending on the time of day, is a must-see attraction! When the sun sets, I recommend going up high to see the Parliament Building, and when the sun sets and you see the night view, I recommend looking at it up close :) If you relieve your tired body at the Szechenyi Baths while traveling, it will be a perfect trip~

The title is about things famous in this country...! Which country is it? The answer is Hungary! Isn't it surprising that there are so many famous things? 😂　 The winter I went was extremely cold, and the river cruise and hot springs I took to enjoy the night view were both very cold...🥶 I recommend visiting other than in the middle of winter... The river cruise is an outdoor boat cruise🚢, so it should be comfortable in seasons that are not cold! The hot springs♨️ are like heated pools, unlike in Japan. You enter wearing a swimsuit. There are people playing chess♟️ all over the place, which is quite interesting! This is a Hungarian specialty! Famous foods include paprika dishes, foie gras, and the so-called noble rot wine called Tokaj wine. Paprika dishes look spicy because of their red appearance, but they are not spicy! They don't have a particularly strong taste... Paprika powder and paste are recommended as souvenirs! The luxury ingredient foie gras is also a good deal here🉐Try it at a restaurant! Tokaj wine is also expensive in Japan and hard to buy! Great souvenirs to buy at the market or supermarket! Budapest Central Market is a great place to eat and buy souvenirs! Make sure to visit it at least once during your stay! #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #HungaryTrip #HungaryTrip #Budapest #BudapestTrip #BudapestSightseeing #BudapestCentralMarket #TokajWine #FoieGras #PaprikaDishes

#centraleurope #Budapest is already famous for its thermal waters, but what took my visit to the Széchenyi Thermal Baths to the next level was indulging in their wellness treatments. Spending a day here isn’t just about soaking in steaming pools—it’s about treating yourself to an unforgettable spa experience. #Budapest #Hungary 🛁 A Thermal Spa Beyond the Pools After spending a couple of hours floating between hot and cold pools, I decided to try their massage services. With options ranging from 20-minute stress-relieving massages to full 60-minute aromatic treatments, there’s something for every budget and schedule. 💆 Massage Prices & Options • 20 min basic massage: ~€15–20 • 60 min aromatherapy massage: ~€50–60 • Luxury couples’ massage: perfect if visiting with a partner You can book them on-site, but I recommend reserving in advance online, especially during weekends. 🍺 The Beer Spa Yes—you can soak in a warm wooden tub infused with natural hops and herbs while sipping unlimited draft beer. For about €30 per person, it’s a unique and fun experience that left my skin incredibly soft. 🎒 Tips for Visitors ✔️ Bring a swimsuit and flip-flops (required) ✔️ Book massages early in the day—they sell out fast ✔️ Combine a beer spa session with a thermal bath for ultimate relaxation 📍 Where is it? Located in City Park, Széchenyi is easily reached by metro (Line 1, Széchenyi Fürdő stop). 🌟 Why I Loved It This wasn’t just a spa day—it felt like stepping into a Hungarian wellness ritual. The combination of thermal waters, soothing massages, and a beer spa made it one of the most unique travel experiences of my life. 📌 Tip: Visit in the evening to relax after a full day of exploring Budapest.

#centraleurope #Budapest is often called the “City of Spas,” and after spending a full day at the iconic Széchenyi Thermal Baths, I completely understand why. This historic complex, with its stunning Neo-Baroque architecture and healing thermal waters, gave me one of the most relaxing travel experiences I’ve ever had. #Budapest #Hungary ♨️ Why visit? The Széchenyi Baths are not just about soaking in warm water—they’re about stepping into Hungarian culture. Locals and tourists come together here, chatting in steaming pools or playing chess while surrounded by clouds of mist. It’s the largest medicinal bath in Europe, with 18 pools (indoor and outdoor), saunas, steam rooms, and even a beer spa! 🎟 Entry cost: A daily ticket costs around €20–25 per person depending on the time of day and whether you want a private cabin for changing. 📅 How long to spend there? Dedicate at least 3–4 hours to enjoy it fully. You can easily spend an entire afternoon hopping between pools of varying temperatures. 🎒 What to bring? ✔️ A swimsuit (mandatory) ✔️ Towel (you can rent one, but bringing your own is cheaper) ✔️ Flip-flops (required for hygiene) ✔️ A swim cap (only needed for the lap pool) ✔️ A waterproof phone pouch for photos 📍 Where is it? Located in City Park (Városliget), Széchenyi Baths are easy to reach by metro (Line 1, Széchenyi Fürdő station). 🌟 Why I loved it Lounging in the outdoor pools while snow fell around me was magical. The contrast of cold air and steaming water felt surreal. Plus, the interior thermal rooms were equally beautiful and relaxing. 📌 Tip: Go early in the morning to avoid crowds, or at night for a romantic vibe. Book tickets in advance online to skip the line.

Budapest welcomed us with simple pleasures crossing the Chain Bridge at sunrise cost nothing, yet gave us sweeping views of the Danube and the soft glow of Buda’s hills. We wandered on foot, taking in grand architecture without spending a forint. 🌅🚶♀️ In the Jewish Quarter, we kept it budget-friendly by grabbing lángos from street stalls and sharing glasses of fröccs in lively ruin bars, where mismatched chairs and local art made the cheapest spots feel full of charm. 🍻🎨 Our evening treat was a soak in the outdoor pools of Széchenyi Baths, surprisingly affordable and worth every bit. Later, we climbed Gellért Hill for free, watching the city sparkle below, proof that the best moments in Budapest didn’t cost much at all. ✨♨️🌉 #europeonbudget #travel #myitinerary

#summervacay I recently visited Szechenyi Thermal Bath in Budapest on June 1st, and it was a truly unique and enjoyable experience! Practical Info & My Take: While the largest outdoor pool in the middle was under maintenance and the Beer Spa was closed during my visit, the sheer size and variety of the other pools still offered plenty to enjoy.

Just take Metro M1 to Szechenyi fürdő station (it's a quick 2-minute walk) or hop on Bus 72/75 to Szechenyi fürdő M.

If you want to immerse yourself in life as a Budapest local, don’t forget to book day tours, two-day tours, and three-day tours with guide Yang Qin Si! 1. Enjoy a Garden Cinema Under the Stars City Park and Margaret Island are some of the places where you can watch movies under the starry sky. One great advantage of outdoor night movies is that it’s a wonderful leisure activity for the whole family.
