Budapest Thermal Baths
If you are a lover of wellness and spas, you are in the right place: in the Hungarian capital there are in fact more than one hundred thermal springs, known since Roman times. Among the most evocative, the Széchenyi Baths absolutely cannot be missed, a high-level complex housed in a magnificent neo-baroque building and known to most of the water chess games. Beauty treatments, saunas and massages for relaxing holidays at the same time, not just discovering and visiting the capital. One more reason to choose Budapest!
Buda Castle
A symbol of the city also known as the Royal Palace, Buda Castle will surprise you with its majestic beauty. Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, it has been the residence of Hungarian rulers for over 700 years. Today it is home to cultural institutions and numerous museums such as the Hungarian National Gallery, the Budapest History Museum and the Széchenyi National Library, the most important in Hungary, which preserves the famous Corvinian codes.
Liberty Bridge
Sophisticated, elegant and never exaggerated, Budapest is a city full of bridges that cross the Danube in a romantic way. What is perhaps the most fascinating is the bridge that connects two of the three parts of the city, Buda and Pest. In Art Nouveau style, with an elegant and solid iron structure, it consists of four main pillars on which Turul proudly stands, the mythical bird of the Hungarian national tradition.
You will have to walk (it doesn’t take long, don’t worry) and make a wish: that’s what tradition wants. According to legend: your dream will come true in the blink of an eye. Why not give it a try?
Szimpla Kert
