city of spas
Budapest was awarded the title “City of Spas” in 1934, but the bath culture already flourished 1600 years ago when the Romans built the first baths. Today, richly decorated, atmospheric bathhouses, aquaparks, swimming pools and four-five star spa hotels await those who wish to have a relaxing holiday.

The predecessor of the Bath had been, in the time of the century turn, the Elisabeth steam and tub-bath. After World War II, with the new city sector being shaped, the spirit of the age has brought into the fore the importance of a sporting way of life and, particularly, swimming. |

In the 1930s there was a riverbank bath operating on the Soroksár bank of the Danube. Later, in parallel with the deterioration of the water quality of the Danube, deep-borings were executed, as a result of which mineral waters of valuable composition spurted out to the surface. Taking this opportunity, by 1961 the open-air Csepel bath was built, offering an adventure pool, a children's pool, a swimming pool, and in addition a thermal pool, as well. The open-air bath situated in picturesque surroundings attracts many guests, members of the older generation, as well. |
