Audio tour · Széchenyi Thermal Bath

2:15

You're standing at the Széchenyi Baths, in the middle of Városliget, Budapest's big City Park. Take a good look at the building. It's Neo-Baroque, designed by architect Győző Czigler, and it feels more like a palace than a swimming pool. Yet that's exactly what it is: the largest medicinal bath in Europe.
