Hi, i really wanted to come and visit the baths whilst in budapest but I am pregnant. Are there any baths that are not too hot?
Hi Yasmin,
Thank you for contacting us.
During pregnancy please keep consulting with your doctor whenever you intend to visit public baths, shared pools. Pregnant women are kindly asked to consult with their doctor /OBGYN if they can bathe in the thermal waters. Unfortunately, no thermal bath in Budapest offers pregnancy massage in the baths to avoid any potential medical complications.
We wish you a wonderful time in Budapest!
