I was hoping Grace would see this!!! :D

I've never been, but really want to go. (My mom was born there)  So I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as well!

I'll ask my mom too, but she's not been in 40 years :(

Thank you Grace! I'll note those down. :)

I've wanted to go for ages and am finally getting the chance. I leave Thurs night and come back Mon night. It's supposed to rain, and I am flying WizzAir (eek!) but I am sure it will a good trip!

Is there a huge difference between the baths? I am really tempted to do more than one.

Budapest is my favourite city in Europe!!

We just had a big thread a few months ago so please have a look at that because we posted TONS of recommendations in there (yeah, I know the Google forum search is sh*te but if you do Advanced Search in just this subforum a bunch of other Budapest threads come up, too).

I think Gellert is the best, so if you have time for only one- that's the one.  There is an indoor pool (quite cool), a woman's only area with hot spring baths, you can order massages, etc and an outdoor pool with a wave machine, an outdoor heated pool....
If you've got the dosh, you can stay in the hotel and I'm quite sure the baths are included in the room price.
