Best Baths in Budapest, Hungary

[@EileenAldis]

Does visiting thermal baths appeal to you? Which one of these strikes your fancy the most? 🏊🏊‍♀️💦

[@temperateortropical161]

Rudacs, last May.

[@treasurehuntfoodies]

On my bucket list!! The rooftop looks AMAZING!!♡♡♡

[@ZoltanHoppar]

Without C, please.

[@Landscapersdnb]

Did the Gellért and Széchenyi baths the past week. Really liked both :)

[@MrShamrock97]

Definitely Rudacs. There are fewer people who go there.

[@nancyjohnson9247]

I did not know Budapest was so famous for hot baths or for how many centuries! Impressive. Another good reason to add this awesome city to my travel plans. Thanks...always appreciate your useful travel tips.

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks! ;) We were more than happy to get into the hot pools when our feet were tired. As you can see, it was a lot of fun 💧

[@nigelmchugh5541]

It's a really popular choice for a weekend visit from Ireland and the UK. Flights aren't too expensive if you book early.

[@TheFluffiesChannel]

Congratulations on this video. It is one of the best we have seen on the topic. Very informative. We have been to all three of them; however, the several times we have gone to Rudas, we have never been to the rooftop. We normally relax in the Turkish part. Looking forward to going back for more relaxation.

[@NeoTemplar]

I am of Hungarian descent but American so seeing these videos of Budapest is really special to me. I truly hope to visit there one day.

[@attilakovacs2231]

"One day" is a dangerous phrase: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mou8oXuoZtx3o7s

[@kristinabetikova1942]

I just love bathing and the Szecenyi baths are the best!!! Come early in the morning and enjoy that beautiful place before it gets overcrowded. Highly recommended!

[@kristiyanindzhev6454]

How early do you reccomend?

[@simonpilk]

It is my huge favourite and I have been there four or five times now amongst 9 times to the city. Too many people are starting to find it now and it does get crowded but maybe Cv-19 will slow down recovery of numbers.

[@magikfingerz7565]

Again, after watching your uploads I knew where to go.. Thanks guys Really helpful. .Gellert is where I went on the 01/12/19. It was your upload that inspired me to see/ feel and again you were right lol 3hrs soak/steam 45 min amazing full hard massage. WoW. After returning to this amazingly beautiful city for the 3rd time this year, you have helped me see things that have literally taken my breath away- EVERY-TIME whether it be street talent, the friendly (very helpful) locals or the jaw dropping sights inc the Hungarian change of the guards (see my other uploads) not forgetting the beautiful architecture, wonderful public transport system, a HUGE amount of history, and some of the nicest foods I have ever tasted it is no surprise that Budapest, Hungary is my favorite place to be!! Massive shouts out to EVERYONE I met whilst there, It was a pleasure to meet you guys and I hope to again...PeAcE x Magik-Fingerz-uk Thank you for your helpful/fun uploads and keep up the great work guys. PeAcE. Magik Fingerz uk (Superb backing music btw)

Budapest's hot springs are so cool...Hungary always blows me away with its hot springs....I live 5 miles from one of the best hot springs in Montana and go at least a couple times a week (bozeman hot springs the water is 54C from source and diluted into about 10 pools no chlorine its a flow thru and drained every night ), Montana has a bunch of hot springs developed( Jackson and Chico) and undeveloped...i have been to hot springs all over and seek them out Italy particularly Tuscany has amazing hot springs, and Switzerland too. And the Istarske toplice in Istria croatia is a fabulous one(i lived and worked in Croatia) and lake heviz in Hungary .... the largest thermal lake in the world is near lake Balaton... totally worth a side trip...ok i think you guys get the idea l love hot springs....and obviously Iceland too

[@oson3061]

Me, too! My adventures begin. First Stop, Hungary =)

[@oson3061]

Gellert, for a nice medieval indoor pool experience, love the royal-looking pillars! Rudas, for the outdoor views of the city at night, and Szechenyi for traditional, communal outdoor fun! =)

[@EileenAldis]

Agreed! :)

[@mm_ww_2]

Thank you for the details

[@gaborlanyi6194]

Born in Budapest, grew up in Vancouver BC. Spent many days in these thermal baths - Very well done Eileen!

[@EileenAldis]

That sounds amazing! How nice to be able to visit these whenever you please :)

[@ElsieDee001]

My grandparents were born in Budapest and Oroszlàny and emigrated in 1910 to U.S. Hoping to experience the land of my ancestors soon!

[@EileenAldis]

I'm sure it'll be even more special when you visit then :) We made a whole Budapest series, if you're interested! The playlist is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3zadaOfqZVsbJo

[@Saffron.Aerowyn_07]

Binge watching your vlogs, Eileen...have to catch up, Lol...loving them all the way...Thanks for taking us along for the ride. ✌

[@outyegoleisureclub9455]

Hi ! We spent a day at Szechenyi Thermal Baths also Lukacs Baths in January as we both have health problems . My husband uses the steam + saunas as well. The jets help my knees. We were due to go back in March & check out the roof top pool but it got cancelled due to Coronavirus. Our favourite thermal spa is in Baden Baden but I loved the swim up bar in the Titisee thermal spa!

[@Kinlever]

I love your videos, they are pretty detailed and they show you paid a decent attention to the city and what it is really like.

[@PollyIsADog]

Chess in the bath... that’s my kind of place! Great video!

[@EileenAldis]

haha I knew you'd love it and thought of you! :)

[@lalitalune]

I used to love visiting the Jim Jil Bangs, or public bathhouses, of Korea! I love your drone footage. What a gorgeous video. So informative!

[@AlexisGilbert]

your videos seriously make me want to go back and travel across Europe again!!!

[@kevinlindsay5255]

Just about to book a long week end in Budapest and this guide was just perfect

[@EileenAldis]

I'm so glad to hear that! We made a whole series about Budapest for planning: bit.ly/budapestplaylist Have a fantastic time :)

[@jamesvarabkanich415]

Another really fun and informative episode guys, love these baths.

[@EileenAldis]

I'm glad you thought so! We had a great time :)

[@Saffron.Aerowyn_07]

Hey Eilene & Mark....LOVE your channel....keep up the great work...sending you both many, many blessings & hope you get a ton of new Subs! 🦋

[@MJuliett]

Next time you guys should try Palatinus Baths on Margaret Island. It has various bath units and saunas, but its more preferable to go there because the outdoor pools. The water is coming from nice fountains, also it has a wave pool, slide pool etc. Besides the entrance fee is way much cheaper from the other baths you've mentioned in your video ;)

[@jamesperan3557]

Summer time only.....

[@kayotang2099]

Great job, thanks. We bath in the hot spring all the time in Japan. I will surely take my wife to enjoy the hot bath in Budapest next year.

[@EileenAldis]

I love the baths in Japan. Hope you have a great time in Budapest!

[@tiffanymitchell2071]

Helloooo Eileen🤗once again you have done such an amazingly thorough Vlog I've never seen any other travel vloggers or show do!!! Well done my friend 👍🏽❤️ keep up the fantastic work !!

[@EileenAldis]

Hi Tiffany! That is amazing to hear and makes us happppy! Thank you!! 😁😘

[@cbaldwi11]

Awesome video, Eileen! Helps me reminisce and things to look forward to next time! Gotta try that beer spa and go up to the top of Rudas!

[@JhosuaCastellano]

Such a great video, very informative and well made. You definitely deserve more views 👍

[@zahavailan3782]

This was such a great video and so thorough thank you for explaining everything even the pricing! I cannot wait to go

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! Are you planning a trip to Budapest soon? Hope you have a great time :)

[@lunast8661]

I liked Lucac! Outdoor pool is great and cosy

[@yohibadash6907]

Thanks again Eileen :) you helped me decide which one to go to cause i only have 4 days to see everything and this sure helped me focus

[@EileenAldis]

I'm thrilled to hear this was helpful to narrow down your focus so you make the most of your time! We made a whole series in Budapest in case that's useful too (it's here: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist). Have a great trip! :)

[@escapeforaminute]

really informative video! looking forward to going to Budapest in July :) also.. love the transitions!

[@gudrungirgis2795]

Loved this video...thank you and hands down I think Zechenyi Baths is the place to visit...loved this segment...please keep going ;-) because you're great at this!

[@kickthespike]

Thanks you are the only who gave the info regarding price, bringing your own towels and swim cap!

[@EileenAldis]

I'm glad to hear you found the video helpful!

[@chikaramaulita2841]

Omg thanks for all your budapest video! It’s really inspiring people to go there, me include! Your videos really are amazing both content & the shoot😍

[@tbxsallis]

I went to the Szecheni baths recently, I got there early to avoid the crowds, I loved it, but going there in the evening looks even better, I only had the weekend, so time-limited visit

[@EileenAldis]

Glad it you enjoyed it, Tony!

[@rustykatt3870]

Your videos bring a happy light feeling :).....So very much appreciated (this is my second comment). Happy travels!!

[@EileenAldis]

Hello! Thank you so much :) That makes me very happy to hear - and thanks for commenting!

[@meghanllewellyn6762]

I wouldn’t have thought about flip flops! Thanks for that tip!

Hey Meghan! Glad to hear that’s helpful! Have a wonderful time :)

[@khalilkhan-lz7ud]

Butifull cuntry i am visiting hungry budapast april 2020 i am very empress

[@dark33r]

Been in Budapest few weeks ago. Visited 4 baths: Széchenyi = tourists, Gellert = tourists, *** = absolutely great, *** absolutely great. Hopefully tourists will still go to those popular ones so the smaller, great ones, keep their atmosphere and greatness :- )

[@JanKlaeui]

Amazing video! Great drone shots:)

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks a lot, Jan! :)

[@JanKlaeui]

You're welcome! Just subscribed to your channel after watching some other videos of you:)

[@EileenAldis]

So happy to hear that!

[@emokehartyani5834]

Really good summary! Thank you!!!!

[@EileenAldis]

Glad you enjoyed it! We made a whole series about visiting Budapest with lots more tips if you'd like to see more: bit.ly/budapestplaylist :)

[@nigelmchugh5541]

We went to the Czechenyi baths when we visited years ago. There was ice skating in the park outside, and sat in the pool after as snow settled on our heads forming snow hats! Some of the ice sluice rooms there would almost stop your heart, with the shock of the temp. change 😁

[@EileenAldis]

Wow, that sounds idyllic, Nigel! Hot tubs in the snow sounds familiar for Canadians too :) I wonder if you'd find the baths have changed much or not since you were there.

[@nigelmchugh5541]

Eileen Aldis Hope to go back soon. I should have mentioned that it was January when we visited and minus 10 C.

[@annamahovska5322]

I also recommend to visit Király baths, the most genuine, cheapest and locals-visited spa in Budapest ;)

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks for the suggestion, Anna! That was on my wish list but didn't get there...next time! :)

[@foreverfree2624]

Love your video, sounds so genuine and fun

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks a lot!

[@carolinehayden7455]

Was there in November was amazing 🇨🇮

[@betsyfreeman6637]

I learned a lot from this video!!! Great presentation. Where did you get the aerial footage? Fantastic!

[@EileenAldis]

That's awesome, Betsy! We shot the aerial footage on our drone :)

[@gabrielmihaly1303]

I really liked the smile on your face guys. :)

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks, Gabriel! We were having a great time :)

[@alteredillusions100]

I miss Budapest. I lost my glasses at the Gellért Baths but it was ok because I needed new ones. Did you go to the library?

[@trishwilson7517]

Although I avoid public pools, tubs, and baths (like the plague I envision they carry LOL), I still found this interesting! Awesome video footage as usual, you kids! Continued safe travels, till next time :)

[@EileenAldis]

haha thanks, Trish! My sister feels similarly about hot tubs ;) I'm glad you still enjoyed it though!

[@HUNdAntae]

I see where you're coming from: i've seen mold ridden hot tubs and sauna walls with peeling wood in gyms here in England. But in Hungary standards of the managements and the guests of the baths are quite high, especially bc bath therapies are part of our health system (like if you have rheuma your doc may give you a note that allows you say 10 entry in the hot/medical bath, and it is covered by the national health insurance) so they have to be up to medical standards. On the other hand in the blistering summer when the open air pools are in season, it is inevitable to meet a few of the fellow guests who are "differently abled in the cultural aspect"(uncultured swines) and may or may not piss in the pool. So i tend to choose places that are less accessible for the plebs (water parks, spa complexes under some 4-5* hotel management, etc).

[@SailsTales]

Thanks for the informative vids! I am planning to visit Budapest next Christmas and would love to get some drone shots. Did you have any problems flying there? Was it easy to get a permit & insurance?

[@sydneya3509]

Im going to Budapest in 10 days i am so excited!! i love your videos they are super informative and down to earth. You are really helping me plan ahead!! thanks

[@denmsk8262]

Снято просто супер,обожаю эти места👌🤗🤸

[@EileenAldis]

😄

[@RedHatcc]

I actually went there, based on your video. We planned 3 hours there and ended up staying there near 6. Thanks Eileen!

[@Kormos17]

I actually havent been to either of them and I'm from Budapest :D

[@chloevilleneuve818]

So I visited the Gellert spa and it's a runny travel story I tell a lot because I got a massage and it was far from relaxing. I was rubbed very rougly, fully naked and instructed to spread like a star. It wasn't oil but a cream that smelled like Vicks vaporub. I felt so violated. That was before I spent an hour in the baths (tiled ones you preferred) that was only for women with optional swimwear. And it's never the ones who "should" that do take that option. I still have an embroidered towel from the spa that makes me smile every time I use it and reminds me of that experience.

[@Mrmallet777]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@antoniomorales261]

Been on a roof top hot spring bath tub. It was in Pagosa springs Colorado tho. Hope to go to Budapest to tho. Nice video

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks, Antonio! Glad you enjoyed the video. Nothing like a hot tub with a view ;)

[@juliegoodwin6850]

Looks like so much fun! What were the water temperatures? (Fahrenheit) Thanks for sharing!!

[@rachelanderson5547]

Cant wait to try them ALL!

[@EileenAldis]

Amazing! Enjoy!

[@chrisoverbey5937]

Very informative, and well done

[@EileenAldis]

Glad you enjoyed it! Have you been to Budapest? We made other videos about the city if you'd like to see more - they're here: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist :)

[@marklewis9146]

Your videos are so informative, we are going to Budapest in January, would the outdoor pools be ok then? You are one of my favourite vloggers xx

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you, Mark! We went in the winter as well and the pools were open except one (the big outdoor one) at Gellert, but the rest were available to use. I also think the rooftop bath at Rudas seems better in winter because it's so cold and frosty looking out over the city view ❤️ xx

[@kleinboelter2082]

I like it how informative you are.

[@EileenAldis]

Glad to hear that :)

[@rustykatt3870]

Amazing video! Well done. Thanks :):)

[@HereBeBarr]

Great job Eileen ! Was it difficult to film inside?

[@jptomi]

You have missed out on the Király Bath in the middle of Budapest. It is the oldest one...500 years old and is the antique style turkish bath...

[@costitravel]

Awesome video.

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks!

[@aaronmcdonald9469]

LOVE Your VIDEO!!! Best places to stay?? Im going in DECEMBER. Im sure its gonna be cold???

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks, Aaron! We visited in December, too, and it was amazing. You'll be there for the Christmas markets!! You may have seen already but we made a whole series in Budapest (and about other European Christmas markets) I hope will be helpful for trip planning: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist. We stayed quite close to the House of Terror museum which we loved because it was sort of between the downtown area and the Szechenyi Baths/Hero Square/Vajdahunyad Castle. We walked everywhere. That's also where the huge skating rink is that will be open in December! I'd look for somewhere on the Pest side (for sure) within walking distance of the places you'd like to visit. It'll be cold but not insanely so (I'm from Canada haha). Definitely dress for winter though. Have an amazing time!

Awesome! That's the same month we were there last year. We made other videos there if you want to check them out: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist. Have a fun trip!

[@Elle_Gowing]

It's great to know there's a women only day at Rudas. I have heard of couples getting very close indeed in the baths. Not considerate and more to the point not hygienic.

[@annakarypidou8613]

Your video is amazing :) i would like to ask you if you know what days we can visit the rhudas bath and swimming woman & man together in the pool you said on the video :) thank you !

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks, Anna! I'm not sure what the updated info is on that front - best to check their website (www.rudasbaths.com/) to make sure it's correct when you go :)

[@Pluskat78]

About Rudas bath. There are days when both wimin and man can go together in the old turkish bath.

Your video has really given me some great ideas and expectations for our visit at the end of November 2018. One thing on my list is to visit Memonto Park.

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Lucy! I'm so glad to hear that. We didn't get to Memento Park this time but it looks really interesting. Let me know how you enjoy it. We made a whole series in Budapest if you're like to see more videos: bit.ly/BudapestPlaylist. Hope they're helpful as you plan :) Have a great time!

[@EileenAldis]

[@nirothav1105]

Them hotels in Budapest are indeed as GRAND as fuck!

[@chrisbuxton7790]

The first and last ones. How long would you say is best to stay in Budapest? 5 DAYS 7 DAYS?

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Chris! That's a tough question as it depends what you want to do and how much time you can spare. I'd say you'll definitely fill whatever time you take there as there are plenty of places to visit. 5 or 7 days would be great itineraries and my guess is there would still be places you'd like to go or return to after that time. If you haven't seen, we've made a bunch of videos about where to visit in Budapest and Hungarian food. They're here if you'd like to see as you're planning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3zadaOfqZVsbJo

[@johnenriquez1439]

We'll be traveling with little children with youngest being 10 years old. Which spa is more family friendly?

[@EileenAldis]

I'd personally say Széchenyi as I think kids would enjoy the outdoor pool a lot and there are also indoor options.

[@viajean-luc9708]

merci j'ai hate de voir cette belle vikke

[@Alex_BF]

Do you have to change and/or shower naked, like in Iceland ?

[@fjellyo3261]

You need a swim cap to swim? Why?

[@ZoltanHoppar]

Because of sheddig of hair. Many people go in and out these baths, and without caps the filtering is gets worse, and water quality couldn't stay on the same level. So cleaning the filters, the bath, the water - is not really cheap, when if no one cares about.... that would be bad. So, people - please wear caps.

[@fufala84]

This is the rule in most of the pools that are for swimming in Hungary. As far as I know to prevent visitors hair from falling into the water. It's not a very consistent rule, because it only concerns bigger pools.
