\"2014-07-06<\/a>Budapest is THE CITY OF BATHS. Really, it earned the title in 1937.<\/p>\n

There are many baths to choose from, each with multiple baths! I spent a full afternoon at the Sz\u00e9chenyi f\u00fcrd\u0151, which is the largest medicinal bath in Europe. They have a variety of indoor and outdoor pools, all of different temperatures. I went in every. single. one. Oh, and saunas. I had never been in a sauna before! 18 pools total, and 10 saunas.<\/p>\n

The hottest sauna I went in was 80\u00b0C, but apparently there was one at 100\u00b0C! I noticed my skin (or dirt on my skin? or dead cells?) was peeling off immediately in the 80\u00b0C, and I went to the showers right outside to wash it off. I’m not sure what the process is supposed to be between the saunas and plunge pools, but mine was this:<\/p>\n

1) Find a new sauna. Sit and take it in until it’s too much!<\/p>\n

2) Plunge into the tiny cold pools right outside it!<\/p>\n

3) Heat up in the hotter pools.<\/p>\n

4) Chill out in the regular 27\u00b0C pools.<\/p>\n

5) Repeat.<\/p>\n

Luxurious.<\/p>\n
