Szechenyi Baths

Today we have again been exploring Budapest. In particular we visited one of the famous Spa baths in the city. We chose the Szechenyi Baths near the Millenium Square, mainly because it allowed mixed use of the facilities. It was a little daunting entering the grand building, paying, and finding the way around when there wasn't a sign in English to be seen anywhere. The attendants were very helpful and we finally found the outside pools after passing through a series of pools indoors, all at various temperatures. The outside pools were at 28c, and at 34c. The Indoor pools varied from a cold plunge, to one at 38c. The spa water emerges from the earth at 75c!! The photos don't really do it justice. We spent a very enjoyable 3 hours in the sun along with many residents of Budapest, before heading back, with thunder rolling in the distance.
