Thermal Baths

The mineral baths in Budapest are a must do activity. If you don't have time to stop by a doctor and get a free prescription, you can always pay a little to get in. Your skin feels so fantastic and soft afterwards! If you forget your swim suit, don't worry you can always hire some 'cute' little Speedos for men or a nice granny swim suit for girls. If your not fashion conscious then it's great!

An elegant city

Budapest has an air of something that once was even better than it now is. It's architecture is Baroque and the fact that it still has working trams adds to its appeal.

I'm here

I HAVE JUST MOVED TO BUDAPEST SO EXPECT THIS PAGE TO GROW....

Pros and Cons

    Hi Julie, your pages recall me my child-hood. I often went to Budapest with my father. I remember Margit Sziget wery well, I lost myself in the swimming pool area when I was 5 :-) Nice pages, useful information.

    Good description of Budapest on your page. Personally I like the buildings in Budapest as they are full of ornaments and statues, arches etc. Greetings from Bucharest :)

    Thank you very much. I did my best. :-) But I feel they're not even half as nice as yours. Actually that concrete building is even better than those ugly hotels more to the right (not on your picture).

    Hehehe, cool restaurant tip. I think you should write a warning tip about the camera use (I had to pay to take pics at a museum). Another thing, it's tale (historia), not tail (cola) - para que no te equivoques querida =) Pásala bien.
