Wellness travel is a big trend right now and, if you’re headed to Hungary in the near future, you’ll have ample opportunity to indulge in that trend (in fact, 80 percent of international travelers visiting the country visit a spa while there).
There are three main wellness offerings you’ll want to experience while in Hungary:
Geothermal Waters
Did you know Budapest is the only major city in the world with more than 100 thermal springs and wells? The result is a huge number of spas and baths where you can soak in peace, often in historic settings where visitors did the same centuries ago.
Medicinal Mud
Thermal waters result in medicinal mud, and you’ll find many Budapest spas offer mud therapy treatments if you’re already there for a soak. Medicinal mud is purported to come with a range of health benefits, including pain relief, improved circulation and increased metabolism.
Cave Therapy
There are five certified medicinal caves in Hungary, where you can go to experience cave therapy, a process mostly consisting of breathing in restorative cave air. These caves are claimed to be filled with mineral water that drips down the ceilings and walls, providing respiratory relief when the cave air is inhaled.
