thermal bath is one of the attractions in budapest. There are 118 springs in Budapest, providing over 70 million liters of thermal water a day. The temperature of the waters is between 21 and 78 Celsius.
the origin of the thermal bath can be traced to the romens as early as the 2nd century. The Turkish baths along the river Danube are still functional and much favored.
the bathing culture of hugarian is very lively.
not only are water sports held in great respect, but the young and the old all enjoy the spa waters and the fun bath complexes.
Aqua therapy is part of the regular medical practice, and doctors often prescribe water treatments in the healing spa waters for Hungarian patients.
In the last few years, the bathing culture has been ingeniously fused with trance spa parties (sparties), so you can even be part of once in a lifetime cool bath parties.
