Der er varmt vand under 2/3 dele af Ungarn, der er over 120 kilder alene i Budapest, der er fantastiske kurbade overalt, historiske tyrkiske bade, Art Nouveau Spas og moderne vandparker.
Der er et suverent website om kurbade på engelsk og tysk, hvor du kan lære alt fra vandsammensætningen til åbningstider. Tjek deres fotogalleri og du får lyst at besøge allesammen. Nedenunder vil jeg give min personlige mening om de vigtigste kurbade og du kan også åbne kortet for at se hvor de er i byen.
Du kan leje svømmetøj og håndklæder i badene men forvent ikke den nyeste mode. I de fleste bade skal du have en badehætte på i svømmebassinget men ikke i de varme bade. Det er muligt at få massage i badene, spørg ved billetkontoret for pris og tider.
Gellért Badene
Det mest kendte kurbad, fliser med mosaikker, Romansk-stil varmtvandsbassin og generel velstand giver en uovertruffen atmosfære. Udendørsbassinet har en bølgemaskine. Smuk bygning, men det dyreste kurbad og meget turisted.
Széchenyi Badene
Flere små indendørs og 3 udendørs bassiner i en gloriøs placering i midten af By Parken. Se de flydende skakspillere mens du sidder i de varme kilder. Med springvand og boblebad er dette en favorit blandt familierne.
Rudas varme og Tyrkiske Bade
På Buda siden af Elizabeth broen, lige vedsiden af Gellért, dette kurbad er lige blevet renoveret. Åben til mænd undtaget tirsdag hvor der er åben for kvinder. Det er åben for begge køn på fredage og lørdag aftener fra 22-4 og søndag fra 6-17.
Lukács Badene
På Buda siden af Margaret broen er et smukt kurbad der huser det højeste niveau af IQ blandt svømmerne. Det er et favorit sted for forfattere, journalister og politikere. Vandet er meget effektivt ifølge de mange skriverier fra taknemmelige patienter på væggene.
Király Badene
Bygget i 1565 af den tyrkiske pasha af Buda, dette utrolige kurbad er et pratstykke for historieelskere og også et fantastisk sted for afslapning, i gennemsnit er der kun en håndfuld mennesker her. Tyrkisk bad, dampbad og sauna, dedikerede dage for mænd og kvinder, begge køn på onsdag og søndage.
Dagály Badene
Dette kurbad er det tætteste på budaveg, lige ved Árpád broen. Den har et stort svømmebassin, to smukke varmtvandsbassiner og mange friluftsbassiner om sommeren. Skøn sted, afslappet og også med lokale indbyggere. Meget anbefalelsesværdigt med børnene om sommeren!
Palatinus, Római og Csillaghegyi Badene
Tre fantastiske friluftsbassiner med sjove vandrutsjebaner. Palatinus er på Margaret-øen og ligger meget tæt på Budaveg. Næsten som en strandferie, masser af sjov for familien. Tjek deres hjemmeside for detaljer eller spørg mig.
Her er bare et par kommentarer fra vores gæstebog:
We had an absolutely brilliant time in Budapest… it has been both our favourite holiday yet!
Zsofi, thank you so much for your invaluable help in getting us acquainted with the city… you have been an excellent hostess to us. I would definitely recommend the 3 hour guided tour with Zsofi at the beginning of your stay. It proved to be a really useful way to learn your way around the city and Zsofi is a very knowledgeable and experienced guide.
Visitors to Budapest should definitely try out one of the gorgeous spas. We went to Szechenyi Baths near City Park and didn’t want to leave!
The apartment is fabulous, much nicer than it appears on the webpage, and so spacious and nicely decorated. We both feel so, so “at-home” here in Budapest! It helps if you get Zsofi to mark out the locations of the veggie restaurants on a map for you (it makes then much easier to find) Also, make sure you try out the new “Sunny Tastes” restaurant on Rozsa utca (Ask Zsofi!)
They serve gorgeous pizzas and nice traditional Hungarian Style dishes, and it’s completely vegan!!!
All in all we have had a fantastically memorable and enjoyable time.
I sincerely hope that Budaveg proves as successful as it deserves to be… it is a wonderful idea!!
See you again…

We had a nice but too short time in Budapest. The apartment was lovely and cosy (and good exercise as we only used the stairs!!!)
The metro very easy to use; even walking around was not too bad.
Thanks to Zsofi and James, we’d love to come back sometime!

Ps: Try the Lukács Spa in the early morning on a weekday – it’s a small but great place and a refreshing way to start the day (40 minute walk – not bad).
Wonderful apartment, wonderful city. Was like having a home away from home!
We ate very well here, there is much for veggies. Our tip: go to the spas, they are fantastic and the 7 day travelcard is great value for money.
Thanks for everything Zsofi!

We have really enjoyed our 9 days here. Budaveg is not just a self-catering apartment but is a vegetarian resource and we have benefited from Zsofi’s helpful information on veggie restaurants, cafes etc. All of you reading this will no doubt appreciate how great it is to go out and have real choice and not have to settle for bland veggie options when you never know what’s in it or how it’s prepared. We tried most of the veggie restaurants on the list and mostly we recommend Vegetarium (as it has air-con, you can drink beer there and the food is good), Napfényes Izek (which has more atmosphere + the staff are friendly, the food is good, lots and all vegan – very nice was strawberry soup) and falafel café (if you like to eat salad + falafels – this place is really fab – about 20 salads, very informal).
We got most of our fruit and veg at the local market which is cheap, fresh + open everyday. Turn right at main door, at 1st junction turn right onto Victor Hugo, walk to end of street, go under underpass passing metro entrance and up and arrive in market (in the tacky eighties building you can’t miss)
Sights: Margaret Island- very relaxing cycling and swimming in “Palatinus” (would be good for kids if you have some)
House of terror – yes controversial but very effective and memorable
Statue Park – great raw material but they haven’t really decided what to do with it – but still worth a visit (take a hat if sunny as not much shade – no need for direct bus – rip-off!) Easy to get tram (we had travel card) and bus (500F return)
Museum of Applied Arts – nice building and lovely folk art exhibit now till 27 July ’05 – upstairs in card exhibit is some stuff for kids (v. small). As with all museums (except Fine Art Museum) good to get photo licence (normally about 400F) as postcard selections are inadequate.
Museum of Ethnography – free but hot! – interesting Hungarian folk costumes, tools and installations
Széchenyi Baths, near zoo – fab building + hot spas (one over 30oC) – worth going for experience + atmosphere though Margaret Island baths are much more spacious.
We also enjoyed coffee in the ‘Gerbaud’ (Vörösmarty Tér) making 2 coffees last forever (it’s quite expensive) whilst sketching everyone else soaking up the atmosphere amongst velvet curtains + chandeliers – we read the service was slow but this was not true. It was full of tourists so no need to be posh to go there – they served us!
Another highlight was the ‘Pushkin’ cinema – opposite the Astoria – studenty picture house showing some English films with Hungarian subtitles.
Time to sign off now – hope you have great time here at Budaveg – thank you to Zsofi.

Dear Zsofi, Lovely flat, good facilities, central location. Thermal baths at City Park were so relaxing, first time we’ve ever visited a ‘spa’, not many in England. Had a tasty lunch at Falafel, and also went to the ‘Sunny Tastes’ and Wabisabi. A trip to Szentendre by boat was very pleasant.
Thanks
