My journey in Budapest began with pure relaxation at the Széchenyi Thermal Bath, one of the largest and most famous spa complexes in Europe. Nestled in the City Park, this neo-baroque gem boasts 18 pools filled with naturally warm, mineral-rich thermal waters.
The outdoor pools were my favorite—especially the steamy main pool surrounded by stunning architecture. Whether it’s swimming, soaking, or even playing chess in the water, Széchenyi offers a truly unique experience. I recommend visiting in the morning to beat the crowds and enjoy the tranquility. Don’t forget to bring your own towel and flip-flops!

One of the highlights of my trip was a nighttime sightseeing cruise along the Danube River. Budapest’s landmarks, including the Hungarian Parliament Building, Buda Castle, and Chain Bridge, sparkle brilliantly when illuminated at night.
To make the evening even more memorable, the cruise included unlimited Prosecco, adding a celebratory touch to the breathtaking views. Sipping bubbly while gliding past the glittering Parliament building was a magical experience that felt straight out of a fairytale. Pro tip: Book your cruise in advance here to secure the best seats on the upper deck!

Exploring Budapest’s Nightlife: Ruin Bar Pub Crawl
Budapest is famous for its ruin bars, quirky watering holes set in abandoned buildings and courtyards. Joining a ruin bar pub crawl was the perfect way to dive into the city’s vibrant nightlife scene.
During my thrilling jeep tour in Madeira, we explored the breathtaking Skywalk, where the panoramic views left us in awe. As we traveled, we encountered multiple stunning waterfalls cascading down the lush mountainsides, a true testament to nature's beauty. Our journey took us to the striking black sand beach in Seixal, where vibrant crabs scuttled across the rocks, adding splashes of color to the serene landscape. We also had the chance to swim in the natural rock pools of Porto Moniz, a refreshing experience amidst the stunning scenery. The mystical Fanal Forest, shrouded in mist, captivated us with its enchanting trees and diverse plant life. Our day was highlighted by an unforgettable lunch at a jungle-themed restaurant, featuring moving animal robots and lush greenery. The exhilarating off-road segments of the jeep tour added an extra layer of adventure, making the entire experience truly unforgettable.
