Recharging and refreshing in the Baths of Budapest...or not?

{xtypo_dropcap}D{/xtypo_dropcap}o not panic.Even if according to Life.com claims(at least until complaints forced them to take down the posting) one of the germiest attractions worldwide is the thermal baths of Budapest.

So once again lets not be afraid….or not?

Frankly speaking as anyone who has already  visited one of the several Budapest baths knows;  the chlorine added to the water is enough to exterminate everything including your nostrils.

So dont visit , but only if the idea of soaking for hours next to hundreds of all sort of unknown(and questionable cleanness we should add) people is sending alarming signals to your brain. Personally I would focus only on the large outdoor pools, as the inside ones have a smell and feeling of how to put it? too “public” maybe.

If the above do not concern you, thats fine; there are some very good spots, for all tastes, indoor & outdoor, large & small, locals only & international, more “exclusive”  & more "usual".
