“This was one of the best spas I’ve visited, amazing ambiance, beautifully decorated. This spa is less touristy than some of the others.

Review of Budapest’s Palatinus Spa on Margaret Island, with thermal pools, wave pool, slides, saunas, costs, tips, and family advice.
“My wife and i decided to visit the Margaret Island thermal baths on the last day of our short city break which ended up being a Saturday with a very hot/sunny weather forecast.
