There are plenty of baths and spas both in Budapest and all over the country, for anyone who wants to heal and relax. Széchenyi Thermal Bath is one of the largest bath complexes in Europe. Many Turkish style bath are in Budapest from the times of the Ottoman rule. Hévíz Lake Bath is the largest warm water lake with medicinal water in Europe.

Ours is a beautiful country: colourful and infinitely beautiful. The geography of Hungary is extremely varied: from the Great Plain to Hortobágy, the foothills of the Alps, Lake Balaton, Lake Hévíz (the second-largest thermal lake in the world), the Bükk Mountains and caves, Hungary has it all in the Carpathian Basin.

We are surrounded by natural phenomena or built heritage that needs to be seen and visited. The beauty of the Káli basin, the Egerszalók salt hill or the library of the Cistercian Abbey of Zirc are all unique places. People have long worked and shaped the Megyer‑hegy Tarn, an extraordinary natural wonder near Sárospatak: what you will find here is the amazing union of a former millstone mine and nature itself.
