The capital of the state is its face. It is here that the country's best museums, theaters, architectural monuments are located, and this is the place where the fate of the whole state is decided.
Budapest is the only capital in the world that possesses all this, plus it is a balneological resort, to which tourists from all over the world come annually. For comfortable treatment and just relaxing “on the waters” comfortable hotels of Budapest with their thermal springs are provided.
What is the use?
The healing properties of thermal springs on the site of the future Budapest were discovered by the Romans, who were the first to build baths here. The famous Roman baths in this area have become popular due to their healing properties. This can be found in the frescoes preserved in the most ancient baths.
Today in Budapest there are 26 bath houses and 400 hot springs open, some of which have alkaline-hydrocarbonate waters saturated with calcium, sulfur, chlorine salts, fluorides, and some are filled with sulphurous mineral water.
People suffering from diseases of the musculoskeletal system, metabolic disorders, the gastrointestinal tract, as well as problems in gynecology and the peripheral circulatory system come for treatment in Budapest. Hotels with thermal springs are the best way to solve health problems.
Procedures that can be completed at the hotel:
- taking pearl and mineral baths;
- mud therapy;
- hydromassage and hydrotherapy;
- Jacuzzi and aromatic saunas;
- salt inhalation.
Access to the baths and pools for hotel guests in the center of Budapest near the springs is free.
Margarita Island
Two 4-star thermal hotels in Budapest are located on the famous Margarita Island. Named after the daughter of King Bela IV, this land became a memory of her sad fate. The girl was only 9 years old when her father vowed that he would give it to God if the Mongol-Tatars defeated. After the victory, Bela IV built a monastery on the island, where he sent his daughter to be raised and where later she became abbess. Margarita died at 29 years old, never having seen the big world. And later she was canonized under the name of St. Margarita, and the island began to bear her name.
Today it is an oasis of health and sport, located in close proximity to the center of the capital. People come here for a run and bike ride from all over the city. People suffering from diseases travel from afar to swim in the thermal springs of the island and undergo the treatment programs offered by the Budapest hotels located here.
