loving life in the most famous baths in Budapest
Just got back from a weekend trip to Budapest!
It was pretty cool there, but it took about 7 hours to get there on the bus because we stopped in Brno, Bratislava and Gyor before getting to Budapest.
I went straight to the Szechenyi baths in the city park and definitely got my money's worth!
It was 2300HUF to get into the baths but I was there for almost 5 hours, so it was worth it! They had a bunch of hot thermal baths inside and a big sauna. The best part was the huge outdoor thermal pool because the water was so hot but it was only about -4 degrees outside.

If anyone is looking for the perfect hostel in Budapest, it is Broadway Hostel which is on O Utca. It was only 12 Euros for a night in a 10 person dorm, but there was only one other person in the place because it was the weekend before Christmas.

I also checked out the Buda side of the city which was on a big hill and also had the most famous thermal baths; The Gellert Spa. That place was really nice it felt like I was swimming
