For those who are visiting the bath, they might feel finding their way inside this much visited bath by tourist a little difficult to navigate. After you have bought the tickets (3900HUF is the 2010 rate), you will see that the ladies section of the bath is indicated with this word ‘női‘. For me, it was like my chinese new year ‘treat’ to a relaxing good time!
Lee Cheng and Karen came all the way from Singapore and we celebrated with Lee Cheng her birthday starting from the Gellért Thermal Baths and Swimming Pool. We all have a relaxing time at the Gellért fürdő. If you are here for a couple of days, you may want to give it a try too! :)
ORFI is the National Institute of Rheumatology and Physiotherapy in Budapest. And a next experiment with frames for me.:)
Today we feature chop1n’s photo about one of the most beautiful spas in Budapest, the Gellért Bath. Its a hotel and spa together with a special atmosphere.
Hungary is really famous of spas and baths, we are very rich in thermal sources. You can find a lot of spa Hotels in Hungary.
The roofs of the Széchenyi Bath. The Széchenyi Medicinal Bath in Budapest is the largest medicinal bath in Europe. Its water is supplied by two thermal springs, their temperature is 74°F/23°C and 77°F/25°C, respectively.
The Hotel Gellért from a strange point of view. I took this photo from my car waiting at the red lamp. This hotel is famous of its spa in Budapest.
Budapest is the city of Baths…as they say. Actually I am not a fan of them, but they look definitelly very nice. This one is the Széchenyi Bath which is located in the City Park.

Every year they organize an event called the Night of the baths. On that day all the baths and spas (we have a lot) are open during the night too. This photo was taken at the Széchenyi bath.
Our guest photographer for today is Pharphoto. The picture was taken in the Széchenyi Bath which is one of the famous baths and spas of Budapest.
Looks like a Turkish building. Right? Because its a Turkish building:) The Király Baths. The construction of this Bath was begun by Arslan, the Pasha of Buda in 1565 and was completed by his successor, Sokoli Mustafa. The Király Thermal Bath had no direct hot water base, nor has it any today. The Turks built the Bath far from the springs to ensure the opportunity for bathing even in the case of an eventual siege, within the walls of the castle. Its water was supplied at that time, and is being supplied now, from the surroundings of the current Lukács Bath.
