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

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

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.

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.

The Prana Beer Garden on Margaret Island’s food promenade is open all summer, offering multiple movies daily. Enjoy free movies along with drinks. 2. Pedal Boat in the City Center You can see a completely different side of the boating lake in City Park: in winter, it’s a huge outdoor ice rink; in summer, colorful pedal boats, speedboats, and stand-up paddleboards (SUP) fill the area. Everyone wants to enjoy some water sports after an afternoon ice cream. 3. Cool Off at the Free Beach The Római free beach has reopened, offering a natural beach experience for all ages. Swim in the cool waters of the Danube, relax in the shade, and spend an unforgettable afternoon with friends and family at the free beach. 4.

Few sports are as fun and enjoyable as beach volleyball, and boys and girls usually play together. 7. Visit “Budapest Coast” This year, the “Budapest Beach” in the Buda-Kalász suburb—Lupa Beach—invites you to experience it. As one of the capital’s popular summer hangouts, it features clear lake water, well-equipped beaches, and a variety of sports, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a refreshing experience. 8.

Besides Szentendre, you can also take Mahart to Esztergom and Visegrád, or explore the entire Danube Bend by hydrofoil. 8. Admire the Brilliant Starry Sky August is the most spectacular time of the year, with thousands of meteors decorating the summer night. Missing this dazzling starry sky would be a pity, but many places in Budapest have prepared exciting events. On August 9, the Svábhegy Observatory will host “Meteor Night,” and Hungary’s largest astronomy series event—the “Starry Sky Week”—will also be spectacular. 9. Taste the Capital’s Best Lángos A simple yet delicious Hungarian specialty is “lángos,” which comes in thousands of variations: thin, thick, crispy, flaky, eaten plain or with various traditional and special toppings. 10. Enjoy Classical Music Outdoors Classical music lovers always have music to listen to in summer, and beautiful melodies can be heard in the most beautiful places.

Stroll Through the Summer Capital and Feel the Excitement Explore the secret trails of Gellért Hill, stroll along Tabán Street, and wander the romantic cobblestone streets of Old Buda—all worth trying. If you want to go further, Szentendre is also a great summer choice. 16. Wake Up with the City This summer, you should experience the charm of this awakening city at least once. You can watch the sunrise in many places in Budapest. For example, the Philosopher’s Garden is a true island of tranquility where you can greet the morning sun while listening to birdsong—perfect for morning yoga! The morning view from Fisherman’s Bastion is also impressive, and taking photos of waking Budapest from the Liberty Bridge is equally worthwhile. 17. Enjoy the Glow of the Sunset Consider night cruises, as there are many boats on the Danube after dusk! Walk through the brightly lit Castle District, experience a night bath at Rudas Thermal Bath, or enjoy a delicious dinner in a city center restaurant garden.
