Gellert Baths & Spa Budapest rest and relaxation Apr 01, 2008
Went to gellert baths and Spa in 2005 with a friend.. We were on a weeks break in Budapest and had heard all about the spas and thermal baths..

The enterance to the building was large and typical hotel like, quite difficult to negotiate what queue to stand in..A beautiful and grand foyer awaited us.. I remember it was very cheap and a good day out.

Budapest was awarded "Spa City" status in the 1930s. the Gellert and Hotel itself was built in 1918, the outdoor pools added later.. Champagne bubble pool opened in 1934.

We headed through to get changed into bathing gear! The changing room area was like a swimming pool, the female attendants gave us towels and keys for a changing room! All quite civillised.

There were several pools to choose from inside, and they were lovely and warm. Beautiful tiles on walls, some steps in the pools a little grubby and worn but nothing to worry about.. I was suffering from an arthritic knee at the time and I swear i did not feel any pain from it for at least a month after the visit.

The outside pools were also lovely but it was rather cold so we stayed inside.

A lovely place well worth visiting!!

Quest says: This is Budapest's Cathedral. It was completed in 1905. It's quite dark inside, but still worth checking out. But the main atraction is on the top of the dome. It costs 500 HUF pr. adult and 400 HUF pr. child. You can take the lift up, but I recommend walking all 146 steps to the top. You'll f...

It is huge and extremely ornate. Our local guide told us all about how the design was chosen in an international contest and all t...
