This is a recent review from my TripAdvisor profile: Julia is the best tour guide I ever had Our PR agency spent one weekend in Budapest - a team of 5 people - we wanted to celebrate a challenging business year in this beautiful city so close (and connected) to Vienna. We contacted Julia as we wanted to get some really good insights for Budapest, yet we did not have so much time - so we booked 3 hours with her. Julia took us on an outstanding tour in Budapest - I have never met such a dedicated, experienced and in the meantime passionate tour guide / a person loving her home country - every minute with Julia was interesting and exciting, she gave us such a vivid impression of Budapest from its interesting history / culture / architecture - connecting to todays story .. To be with a tour guides like her is pure luck, thank you Julia for this wonderfuld day - we would book her again and can only recommend to anyone who really wants to get a great insight to Budapest. Thank you very much!

To understand how much locals love the Széchenyi Baths, it’s enough to know that we even have a nickname for it: “Szecska.” Opened in 1913, Széchenyi is not only one of Budapest’s most famous bathhouses, but also the largest thermal bath complex in Hungary. With a total of 18 indoor and outdoor pools, Széchenyi is a must-see for anyone interested in Budapest’s unique bathing culture. Architecture Inspired by Water and Wellness The Széchenyi Baths are housed in one of the city’s most richly decorated buildings. Its architecture blends Neo-Renaissance and Classicist elements, creating a grand yet playful atmosphere that reflects the joy of bathing. Don’t miss the main foyer, where statues, frescoes, and mosaics are all dedicated to themes of water, healing, and bathing culture — a beautiful introduction to Hungary’s long spa tradition. Outdoor Pools in Every Season One of Széchenyi’s greatest attractions is its large outdoor thermal pools, which are open all year round. Summer: lively, social, and energetic — perfect if you don’t mind crowds Winter: surprisingly peaceful and atmospheric, with warm thermal water surrounded by steam and snow Personally, I recommend visiting Széchenyi in winter, when the contrast between cold air and hot water creates an unforgettable experience.
