The thermal baths of Budapest are among the best in the world. The region's mineral
springs have been cherished for centuries an what you see now in t e city are nothing less
than the foot prints of history.
The Roman, if only by dint of fact they were the first major occupying force/civilization here,
built the first bath houses at Aquincum.
Pannonia, the Roman region which included modern Hungary, was even something of a
holiday resort for the Empire's superstars looking for a spot of R&R.
They were followed, several centuries later, by the Turks, and th steam baths they left behind
are among the Easting Legacies of the Ottoman occupation.
It is a healthy joy to see aunties and uncles siting out in the thermal water in the depths of
winter or the height of summer, enjoying the sensual delights of the warm, egg-smelling
water on their skin. Some, like Dagály, Gellért, Széchenyi and Lukács, have thermal pools
outside and are best appreciated in the winter as snow or rain gently falls on your head.
The Király, Rác, Rudas, Széchenyi and Gellért also have the small pools indoors.
These are beautiful, dimly lit steam-filled rooms, like Roman temples, with marble columns,
tainted glass roofs, colorful frescoes, mosaics and statues.
Strands are the lido complexes with pools, slides and a host of stalls selling unhealthy but
tasty snacks.
Technically, the Széchenyi, is actually a strand.
Thermal baths are a healthy way of life for old people and a well established part of society.
Some folk will spend all day in the hot water, summer and winter. The signs usually advise
that you only stay in the water for a maximum of half an hour, because of the high mineral
content and, in some cases, radioactivity, but people take food, drinks, newspapers and stay
until their skin becomes completely prune-like, There is a great emphasis on water-based
cures in Hungarian medicine, and spa visits are even be prescribed by doctors in some
cases.
And the best of the best? Well, according to the readers of Spa Finder Inc the world's largest
spa marketing and publishing company, based in New York, the Danubius Thermal Hotel
Margitsziget was named the Top Spa in Hungary for 2004.
