As request by our blogging friend Andrea, I show two pictures of Budapest Szecheny thermal baths, which I visited from the 25th to the 30th of April. Unfortunately, the main part of the outdoor pools was closed for maintenance (right side of the above photo).
I spent four days in Budapest. Public Transport is perfect in the Hungarian capital and people are kind. Many of them speak English well.
Hungary is one of the European countries which has not yet lost its sovereignity, despite being member of both NATO and EU.
I have been to the Danube river five times in five different countries. I firstly saw the Danube river in Vienna and Bratislava (Austria and Slovakia). A few years later I saw the same river in Vidin and Calafat (Bulgaria and Romania), as I went there for job. And last month I saw the Danube in Budapest (Hungary).
I recommend to visit this country and its pleasant capital located on the Danube river.
Dear Giorgio! I see you've had a lovely time in Budapest! Of course Hungary is a wonderful country!

ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Giorgio, for the beautiful photos and the kind mention.
ReplyDeleteThe thermal baths look very luxurious, both inside and out.
The bridge over the Danube is impressive.
I wish you a very nice Sunday evening.
The danube river shapes the cultural landscape is some town of your country, such as Linzi and Vienna.
DeleteThank you for sharing your experience of the Széchenyi Baths! It’s such a shame that part of the outdoor pools were closed for maintenance, but it sounds like you still had an incredible time exploring Budapest. I agree, the public transport in the city is so convenient, and it’s always nice to hear that the people are kind and welcoming. Your journey along the Danube is fascinating—it's incredible how the river weaves through so many beautiful countries and cities. Budapest, with its rich history and thermal baths, must have been a highlight. I’ll definitely keep your recommendation in mind for a future trip!

ReplyDeleteGreat post, Giorgio!
ReplyDeleteBudapest looks amazing, and even with the maintenance, the Szechenyi Baths must have been a cool experience. Love how you’ve seen the Danube in so many countries—such a unique way to explore! Hungary is definitely on my travel list now.
