Program details
No visit to Budapest is complete without a bath in one of its world-famous thermal spring
spas. The ancient Romans had already discovered the healing effects of the thermal springs on
the area we call Budapest today. The bath culture however only started to develop during the
Turkish times. By booking your tickets in advance, you do not have to wait in a queue; fast & easy entrance provided through Hungária Koncert separate Welcome desk.
Since its construction in 1918, Gellert Spa is one of the most beautiful and prestigious thermal
bath on the Buda side of the city. Gellert is famous for its main hall with a gallery and a glass
roof built in Art-Nouveau style. It also has a sparkling bath and a special open-air wave pool.
The bath is decorated with Art-Nouveau furnishing, artistic mosaics, and numerous exquisite
sculptures making it one of the most beautiful thermal baths in the whole country.
And then Budapest is one of the most beautiful cities of the world, according to a New York Times article and millions of tourists from all around the globe. What makes it so special and different from the rest of the big European cities, is its various architecture and the oppositions in the city itself. The contrast between the two parts of the city divided by the river Danube is extraordinary and unmatched throughout the world.
The perfect way to enjoy this must-have experience is with a high class boat cruise under all 6 of the main bridges in the city. With the river cruise you will have the chance to try out all of the greatest dishes the Hungarian kitchen can offer, while enjoying traditional gypsy and folk music performed by three members of the world famous Hungaria Folk Ensemble and Orchestra. The wide variety of Hungarian and international dishes are prepared by world champion food sculptor Péter Molnárka who ensured that they will meet all your expectations, whether you’re a vegetarian, a gourmet or a real sweet-tooth. What makes this cruise really special is its timing. With this 90 minutes cruise you will have a chance to see the city with all of its illuminated glory. All of our ships are air conditioned and have open air balconies where you can freely admire the exquisite night panorama.
