Epitomizing the popular concept of wellness, Budapest Spas utilize the natural water from the thermal springs located in the city. Featuring as prominent parts of city hotels, the modern spas of Budapest are a continuation of an age old custom.
Budapest Spas- a natural phenomenon
The geological fault-line where the Buda Hills converge with the Great Plain is the location of the Budapest Spas. Forming along River Danube, the fault-line gives rise to several natural springs. The early Celtic settlers of this area were aware of this phenomenon and named the region 'ak-luk' or abundant water.
The ancient baths of Budapest
The Roman baths excavated from the Obuda region (known earlier as Aquincum, aqua meaning water) also prove the use of thermal springs during the times. The Turkish empire also witnessed the development of the natural baths. The present day spas of Budapest utilize approximately 70 million liters of water regularly.
