Hotel Bristol Budapest

Spa

One specialty of Budapest is that it is the only large city in the world which is very rich in medicinal water springs. The total discharge of thermal water with temperatures ranging from 21° to 78°C, gushing out from 118 natural springs and drilled wells, is 70 million litres per day.

It has been known as early as the Roman Age that the water of the thermal springs has curative effects. Having occupied the territories to the west from the Danube, the Romans established the town of Aquincum, for they liked the healing waters of the gushing, hot water springs. You can see the ruins of their enormous baths in several places in Óbuda. During the Turkish occupation of Hungary (1541-1686), a number of baths were established for the purposes of personal washing and curing. The relics of the Turkish Age have remained intact to date in a few baths. Budapest was awarded the rank of “City of Spas” in 1934.

Bathing culture plays an important role in the life of Hungarians. In Budapest, medicinal baths, thermal spas, open-air swimming complexes and swimming pools can be found all over the city. The elderly like to spend their time in baths, since balneotherapy courses are very well suited for curing diseases and mitigating their symptoms. In addition, the beneficial effect of thermal water also helps in the maintenance of health and relaxation. Special bathing at night and Cinetrip (more recently: Magic Bath) parties are popular among young people in Budapest.

Tourists visiting Budapest may gain a great experience if they visit and try one of the medicinal baths. We wish to remind you that before setting off to discover a public bath, seek information, because not all public baths may be used by both sexes at the same time or may only be visited jointly by men and women on selected days. It is worth trying one of the largest bathing complexes in Europe, Széchenyi Baths, or the most beautiful public bath in Budapest, Gellért Baths, as well as the beautifully refurbished Rudas Baths, which host nighttime bathing.

Culture, entertainment

Budapest has a distinguished place even among the most beautiful cities in the world.
Visitors to Budapest can choose from a vast array of cultural and entertainment possibilities. As a big European city, it awaits the visitors, where aside from its many historic sights there are also natural and architectural sights which have been awarded the horouning title of “World Heritage Site”by UNESCO. You can spend several days sightseeing, since, in addition to the classic Castle Quarter, Parliament and Hősök tere (Heroes’ Square), you can have a special experience while strolling, for example, in Városliget (City Park), the Jewish Quarter, where the largest synagogue stands in Europe, or in Memento Park which preserves the memories of communism.

Budapest also offers a colourful range of programs for those who like cultural entertainment. You can choose from a wide array of beautiful nights at the Opera House and theatrical, classical and light music performances. The Budapest Spring Festival offers the very best of Hungarian and international musical, dramatic, cinematic, and fine art year after year. Every summer, the city hosts the Island Festival, which is enjoyed both by Hungarian and foreign young people alike. Hungary is famous for its fine wines, thus a series of wine festivals await those interested every autumn.

There are museums all over the city, you can choose from a large number of permanent and temporary exhibitions, and everyone can find one of their liking. For example, exhibitions of international fame can be seen in the Museum of Fine Arts (Monet, Van Gogh, Pharaohs, Renaissance painters, etc.) and from time to time, you may admire Hungarian painters’ pictures in the National Gallery. In addition, those who like the extraordinary may, for example, view the world famous Vasarely Museum or the Press Photo Exhibition organised every year.

Visitors to Budapest can choose from a vast number of program possibilities during the nights spent in the Boutique Hotel Bristol. In addition to musical and theatrical performances, do not forget our best restaurants, where you can try international and Hungarian specialties. Those who arrive in Budapest should not miss the colourful and unique tastes of Hungarian cuisine. After a pleasant dinner, you may go for a night boat trip on the Danube or may indulge in nightlife. The city offers superb opportunities for those seeking entertainment. Youthful open-air and indoor places of entertainment, music pubs, night clubs and casinos await their guests.

If you wish to participate in any program during your stay at the Boutique Hotel Bristol our Reception will be pleased to help you. In special cases, we may even organise your sightseeing with a private guide in advance or reserve a table for you in a high standard restaurant, but we may even book tickets for you to the Opera in advance, before you arrive at our hotel.

Shopping

Budapest is a real Paradise for hobby shoppers, whether it is clothing, accessories, antique works of art or those listed by galleries, food or anything else. Wherever you go in Central Budapest, shops and boutiques await you. The best known pedestrian street of Budapest, Váci utca, has been shining in its old splendour for years, and the construction of Fashion Street which offers the world’s fashion brands has been completed now in its vicinity, in Deák Ferenc utca, on the model of Regent Street in London. We recommend Andrássy út, which is also located in Central Budapest, for those who have a desire for luxuries.

Shopping centres, which form an essential part of large urban metropolises today, can be found all over Budapest, in which visiting shoppers can buy everything at one place. Offering a gigantic selection of goods, Arena Plaza, the shopping centre with the largest floor area in Hungary and, at the same time, Central Europe, which houses 200 shops and nearly 30 restaurants, cafés and confectioneries, is located near Boutique Hotel Bristol .

Covered markets and the Ecseri út second-hand market represent real experiences of Budapest. You can also buy folk art products on the upper floor of Nagyvásárcsarnok (Central Market Hall). It is worth paying a visit to an antiquity street in Central Budapest, Falk Miksa utca, which has developed since 1990 and offers its goods in a concentrated form similar to that of Paris and Rome.

If you shop for the purpose of buying gifts, we kindly remind you of the special products of Hungary, the Hungaricums, which are foods, goods and works of fine art of excellent quality. The Pick Salami of Szeged, the Old Tokaj Wine, the Zwack Unicum bitter liqueur and Porcelain of Herend are world famous. You can also choose from a colourful offering of products of folk art, such as the Lace of Halas, Miska jugs, embroidered clothing, table cloths and wooden objects.

While you are staying at the Boutique Hotel Bristol Budapest, aside from the salami and the old Tokaj wine, do not forget to try meals made from red peppers or the meat of healthy Hungarian hog, mangalica, or of the grey cattle, the famous goose liver, the fine Dobos torta (a layered chocolate cake with a hard caramel top) nor the wines of the Villány Hills.

All of these are available downtown, in an easily accessible place, beside Budapest’s central boulevard, Rákóczi Boulevard. An other advantage of the hotel is that in spite of the central location parking is easy in the neighbouring parking house.
