Széchenyi Baths, Budapest, Hungary - Unravel Travel TV

The Romans were first to develop the baths in Budapest and the city has some of the worlds finest Turkish baths, all Ottoman architecture, huge octagonal pools and stained glass windows. Most visitors look for pure soggy, steamy, flotational relaxation. For a typically Hungarian spectacle, Széchenyi bath in the City Park is where people play chess outdoors in steaming water. It is the largest public bath and open since 1913. As well as bathing in hot springs, you are encouraged to drink the sulphuric water (which tastes awful but is apparently wonderful for detoxing). After this and some time in the aromatheraphy scented saunas and mud chambers, you will be feeling as good as new.
