Itinerary
Discover the heart of Hungarian spa traditions on this day tour in Budapest, and learn about the history of the stunning capital, while soaking away your aches and pains in a Budapest spa. Step inside the beautiful Gellert Thermal Baths, housed within an art nouveau building and famous for its mosaics, to learn about the healing waters surrounding the city.
There are more than 125 sources of spring water in the hills surrounding Budapest, many of which are famous for their healing properties. Visit a church carved into the city’s hillside before walking along the Bridge of Liberty, crossing into Pest, and jumping on a tram for a ride through the city. Admire the Budapest’s wealth of beautiful buildings, from the opulence of the Buda Castle to the white towers of the Fisherman’s Bastion.
Jump off the tram to explore the city’s old Jewish district and learn about the history of this part of town. Step underneath the city for a ride on the historic Metro, a world heritage site and the oldest underground on the European continent. Get off at City Park, a site much-loved by locals during the summer months, and an ideal place to people watch.
Admire one of the park’s most famous landmarks, the Vajdahunyad castle, before downing a refreshing glass of natural spring water at the drinking parlour. After a day exploring the sights of the city, it’s time to sooth tired muscles with a soak in the healing waters of the Széchenyi Thermal Bath.
Feel muscles relax, and perhaps challenge a local to a game of chess, as you indulge in this century-old Hungarian tradition. There’s plenty to see, learn and experience on this day tour in Budapest.
