This article is the original work of Qianli Shan Heyue, "London Mama" (WeChat: Londonmama) was authorized by the author, edited and supplemented; and synchronized with the headline number - London Mama.
The book follows the above (click to read) so we are going to chew on it? Unfortunately, there was not, and after thinking about it again and again, we still silently swallowed the saliva and walked back step by step.
Unexpectedly, the next day, we actually ate goose oil residue in the café in the hot spring!
That's right! Budapest is located in a geological fault, so there are a large number of natural hot springs, the city and the surrounding hot spring spas have dozens, as mentioned above, it was ruled by two large bathing powers - the Roman Empire and Turkey, so the hot spring culture here can be said to be both unique geographical conditions and long-standing cultural influence.
In addition to the main use of hot springs to relieve hangovers (fog), there are many more extensive medical uses, alleviating joint pain and treating skin diseases are the two main functions. There is more in terms of beauty slimming, with spa mud therapy and various massages, detoxification and exfoliation to tighten and eliminate cellulite, and there are many tricks.
Each hot spring spa also has its own characteristics, there is an authentic Turkish bath, when it comes to Turkish bath I must digress a little bit, I originally had a business trip in Istanbul to take an authentic Turkish bath. In the golden and brilliant bathroom, I was lying comfortably on the heated marble table, and the eldest sister who massaged me suddenly began to sing a sad and vicissitudes of the Turkish minor key, and I restrained myself from laughing with a serious expression, very hard so I was impressed. I wonder if this is also the style here?
Based on the quirky experience of the last Turkish bath and our limited time, I struggled with where to go at the following hot springs:
The most iconic Turkish bath in Budapest is the Rudas Bath (I didn't go there)
Gellert Bath, in the church, the bath can also soak in the sacred feeling (I did not go)
Veli Bej Bath claims to be one of the most beautiful bathrooms left over from the 15th century, and after years of continuous renovation and expansion, the quaint architecture coexists with modern conveniences (I still haven't been there... ）
After a long time of difficult choice, we went to this Széchenyi Széchenyi hot spring in the Civic Park, which looks as cute as a big cake.
This hot spring is flowing from two natural springs of more than 70 degrees, which are rich in mineral elements such as sulfur calcium and magnesium, which is said to be particularly good for joints, and if nothing else, on this sunny day, in this Baroque style open-air bathhouse, the spirit is also quite pleasant.
The three outdoor pools have different temperatures and suit different needs, and there are also swimming pools and Jacuzzis, which rotate quickly with the currents and have fun for the children.
The dressing rooms are all one by one, and the sunlight shines through the windows on the curved corridors and black and white lattice floor tiles, especially with a retro beauty.
Playing chess in the hot spring is definitely not a paragraph, the black and white armies are fighting, and there is a circle of true gentlemen who seriously watch chess.
There are also many small bathrooms indoors for different medical uses, and medical advice is required to make an appointment - is it very similar to a domestic nursing home?
In addition, this hot spring turns into a nightclub at night, and is also a great place to count down the ladder on New Year's Eve every year.
The water temperature is maintained at 38 degrees all year round, so you can also soak in the hot spring as usual in winter, and it is very fascinating to see the scene of soaking in the snow on the Internet, and how pleasant it is to soak in the outdoor hot spring when it snows.
This hot spring is very popular with locals and tourists, so we didn't eat breakfast and came over, soaked for a while and the three of them went to the small café next to eat something, and saw the legendary Hungarian breakfast on the bar, and the thick white bread with goose oil residue paste was also! It was also sprinkled with onion strips and green onions, decisively one by one with cold local beer, and there was a particularly simple and rough original beauty in the mouth, the feeling of cholesterol and grease exploding on the tip of the tongue together, I think it would make Cai Lan and Yu Qiao praise how delicious the special book of The Great Book is.
At that moment I just want to say that I finally ate goose oil residue to satisfy!
The child in the hot spring water frog jumping dog planing is also estimated to be very physically draining, even picked a schnitzel burger for breakfast, parents are so free of themselves, and then to stop him is really not convincing, so he realized that after he also intensified his hand to add a piece of puff pastry snacks to himself.
After eating enough, go back to the bubble tour, and before the may Day Labor Day (labor day in the countries where the socialist camp has stayed) is pouring into the hot springs, the family of three has soaked all over the body and is red and red, comfortably ready to go back.
With a particularly clean sense of satisfaction, in the afternoon we still took the reins of the horses and strolled along the Danube river on the side of Pest. At dusk, we found a random restaurant by the river for dinner, a hot Hungarian gulasse soup is particularly delicious, beef tender, potatoes soft sticky, carrot and tomato soup base sour and sweet but not to steal the limelight, red bell pepper powder hammer, is the soul of gulash soup delicious.
Taking a sip of hot soup slowly, suddenly the lights on the Danube River were on, and the Opposite Parliament Building suddenly became golden under the lights.
There were originally narrow rails along the water's edge, and on top of them were yellow old-fashioned trams, and after nightfall, the lights-on trams galloped from the winding riverbank, like the sea trains in Spirited Away.
Suddenly, someone played music next to him, and Liszt's "Dream of Love" with piano and cello was accompanied by a romantic atmosphere, and the whole family instantly had the feeling of being captured by the magic of the Budapest night.
So, the day that begins with hot springs, accompanied by gastronomic beauty, and ends with Liszt, is infinitely close to perfection.
Xiao Bian:
At the end of May, the two editors left their husbands and children at home and went to Vienna and Budapest for a weekend. We stayed in Budapest for one night and one day, and with the consent of Qianli's classmates, we listed the attractions we had walked through to share with everyone.
Night view
Budapest's attractions are mainly concentrated along the Danube River and near the famous Chain Bridge. Every night, the lights of the bridges on both sides of the river are illuminated, showing a different charm from the daytime scenery. Find a restaurant with a wide view or dine in the dockyard on the river and enjoy the food and the night view from the other side. If you are a photography enthusiast, you must also find a commanding height and advanced photography equipment to take the following beautiful scenery.
2. Chain Bridge（链桥）＋Buda Castle
After seeing the Chain Bridge at night, the second day's runaway tour, the first is also from pest walking through chain Bridge to climb Buda Castle (consisting of Royal Garden and Royal Palace).
On Buda Castle, in fact, you can take the sightseeing cable car to go up, but we are not enough character, the day the cable car did not open... Such a means of transportation must be very popular with children (if not afraid of heights).
3. Matthias Church + Fisherman's Bastion (also known as Halászbástya, Fisherman's Bastion)
Stroll along Buda's old town and soon you'll be at Matthias Church and Fisherman's Bastion.
4. Hungarian Parliament Building
Founder's grand building (which is the cover image of this article) can be visited inside, but it is best to check the opening hours and book tickets in advance.
5. Hősök tere (Heroes' Square)
Behind Heroes' Square is a large urban park with a castle building and the Széchenyi Hot Spring, the hot spring where The Main Text's classmates go to soak.
The editor was busy sneaking around and roughly punching through Budapest. Unlike the way the students of Qianli carefully tasted the tour, we were more like directly killing Budapest :)
