Prices have gone up in every sector, and thermal baths are no exception. Most places have sky-high prices in exchange for a mediocre service. Let us introduce four of the best baths with quality service and affordable prices.
The Budapest baths are considered world league in terms of quality and quantity, yet still, some don’t manage to match expectations. They can overshoot, which results in their prices becoming extra high with a daily ticket reaching above HUF 10,000 (EUR 25.70) or have a low quality that ruins the whole experience.
Let us assure you, that’s not the case here. The baths listed are great for an afternoon of relaxation or even a wellness weekend. They have everything that a bath could possibly have with a secret added bonus of relative affordability and absolute quality.
Pesterzsébet Salt-Iodine Spa and Beach (Pesterzsébeti Jódos-Sós Gyógy- és Strandfürdő)
The Pesterzsébet Salt-Iodine Spa and Beach offers an exclusive service since salt and iodine thermal baths are quite rarely found in these waters. According to Femina, the waters here are enriched with salt-iodine and bromine, which can do wonders for gynaecological and circulatory problems, stress relief and reducing chronic inflammations.
The Spa itself is found in a domed, Turkish-style building with a well-equipped thermal complex. The Pesterzsébet Spa has thermal pools, an extensive sauna world, a swimming pool with lanes, and a traditional Turkish octagonal pool. In the sitting pool, waterproof chess tables are waiting for guests who want to exercise their minds as well as their bodies. There are also pools reserved for children, with a water playground to provide entertainment.
Admission for adult on weekdays is HUF 3,900 (EUR 10) and on weekends, it’s HUF 4,800 (EUR 12). There is an admission with full sauna usage included, which costs slightly more, between HUF 4,800 and HUF 5,300 (EUR 12 and EUR 14).
Veli bej Bath of the Merciful (Irgalmasok Veli Bej Fürdője)
This is a fantastic place, where you can relax in a truly atmospheric Turkish thermal bath. The bath offers a wide array of wellness services, five pools with differing temperatures, several swimming pools, many saunas, an extravagant jacuzzi and a medical department.
