Historic Spa Towns - Tourist Attractions in Hungary
If you're looking for a vacation that combines some down time with a rich cultural experience, Hungary certainly delivers. There are many historic spa towns and facilities throughout the country that offer everything from simple bathing in regenerative waters to longer stays in lovely spa resorts.
Hungary's reputation for its hot springs and baths dates back more than 2,000 years to the time of the Romans, who highly valued the healing effects of Hungarian thermal waters. Then, in the 16th century, it was the turn of the Turks who built the many Turkish Baths still in use today.
All told, more than 1,000 springs provide medicinal and thermal water to natural and medical spas. One of the most popular is Lake Hévíz with its 25 degrees Celsius yearly average water temperature. This stunning spot is in fact the largest biologically active thermal lake in Europe.
The Danube River - Tourist Attractions in Hungary
- The beautiful Danube River flows through Hungary from north to south, and as it passes through Budapest, it splits the city in two.
- One of the best sunset views of the river and of both Buda and Pest is from the Freedom Bridge, a favorite spot for locals who can often be seen watching the spectacle, along with passing boat traffic, from the bridge's huge cables (though at street level).
Buda Castle, Budapest - Tourist Attractions in Hungary
- When you first set eyes on spectacular Buda Castle (Budavári Palota) in the Hungarian capital of Budapest, you'll appreciate why so many people consider the city the "Paris of the East." This spectacular historic landmark - now a UNESCO World Heritage Site - ranks right up there with Versailles in France in terms of its majestic proportions and wonderful design.
