Budapest Bagel

I heard there was a delicious bagel shop near the accommodation (Mercure Budapest), so I went to find it.
It seems a little expensive for Hungarian prices, but
when I actually ate it, it was big and had a lot of ingredients, and I kept saying it was delicious ㅋㅋㅋ
I had an avocado walnut bagel and another one that I can't remember ㅠ
Both of them had plenty of ingredients, the bread was so warm and the portion size was big, so I was full and happy.
If I had had the time the next day, I would have wanted to eat it again.

Our accommodation was close by, so we took it out and ate it, but
there is no place to eat inside, and there are only a few seats to stand and eat.
You can take it out and eat it when it's cold, and sit outside the store when it's warm.

ALDI Supermarket

A nearby convenience store and supermarket where I picked up the bagel and bought drinks and snacks to eat together.
It was a bit small, but I was so surprised that it had everything you could want ㅎㅎ

• Water: In Hungary, water with a pink lid is usually just water without carbonation.
• Green Grape Drink: Tokaji wine is so delicious that I wondered how the green grape drink would be, so I just bought any, and it was delicious, as expected. But it was amazingly cheap. It was almost 900ml for 800 won…?
• Belvita Crackers: I bought Belvita crackers, a German cracker, here for the first time, and they were not greasy, filling, and satisfying, and most importantly, they were so delicious. They were moist and felt like a healthy cracker that didn't make me feel guilty ㅋㅋㅋ

And something very interesting: There were so many kinds of bread that I really wanted to buy them all ㅋㅋ, but since I had a full belly from the bagel in the morning, I passed ㅋㅋ.

RUDAS Thermal Baths (feat. Slippers)

After taking a nap, we decided to go to the Rudas Thermal Baths in the afternoon.
There are over 100 large and small thermal baths in Budapest.
The most famous one seems to be the Szechenyi Thermal Baths,
and we chose the Rudas Thermal Baths, which is one of the larger ones.

Why we chose the Rudas Thermal Baths: to see the night view of the bridge from the outdoor bath ㅎㅎㅎ

There are the following types of tickets, and if you want to try all the facilities, you can get an ALL IN ticket.
We bought 2 ALL IN tickets and one cabin on the spot. It cost 17,831 won in Korean money. It was such a great experience that I thought it was worth it for the price ㅠ.
You don't need to make a reservation. You can pay on the spot.
And the prices are different for weekdays and weekends.

The ALL IN ticket includes wellness-spa, turkish bath and swimming pool.
The wellness-spa is a zone where you can experience various baths with glass windows overlooking the outside, and there is a path leading to the rooftop (outdoor bath).
The turkish bath is a zone where you can experience various baths with different temperatures indoors, and it feels like you've become European nobility.
If you come here, I recommend experiencing both!

The time is different for men, women, and mixed groups, so check the table on the link below and then go.
Co-ed means mixed, and you have to wear a swimsuit. If it's only for men or women, you don't have to wear a swimsuit.

If you are two people, you can rent one cabin, change your clothes inside, and store your luggage. It's good to have one because you can go and get what you need in the middle. It's 1000 forint, which is about 2500 won.
Things to prepare)

• Swimsuit:
  • It says that clothing that covers the whole body is prohibited, so rash guards are not allowed. When I looked, people were usually wearing bikinis or tight-fitting indoor swimsuits.
    
    
    
• Slippers:
  • They are essential, and I saw some people walking around without them, but the floor is cold and slippery, so it's better to wear them.
  • We were worried because we didn't have them, but we found them in small supermarkets that we often passed by on the streets of Budapest. They were about 5000 won in Korean money, so you can just get some there.
  • They sell them at the spa too, but it's 4000 forint (about 10,000 won in Korean money), so it's better to buy them on your way there or bring them from Korea.
  
  
  
• Towel:
  • Towel to dry your body after: This is essential. They sell them at the spa if you don't have one.
  • Large towel to wear (I saw some people bringing their hotel towels): It can get cold in the winter, so you can carry it with you, but we didn't bother carrying it. It's fine if you don't bring it.
• Hair tie:
  • The general atmosphere is that you don't put your face in the water, just your body, and you only do a quick body wash when entering/exiting, so it's recommended to tie up your hair to keep it from getting wet. They don't really have hair dryers after.
  
  
  
• Swim cap + Goggles:
  • You have to wear a swim cap if you want to use the swimming pool. We like swimming, so we brought our own and used them well.
  
  
  
• I don't think you need anything to wash with. I think it's good to bring a cleansing foam. They have liquid soap inside, and I just washed my body briefly. Of course, you can bring shampoo/conditioner, etc. and wash, but it felt like everyone was just washing their bodies quickly and entering, and then washing their bodies again when they exited.
  Note)
• Swimming pool: If you like swimming, you should definitely go to the swimming pool and try swimming. Only freestyle is allowed, but the depth is pretty deep, up to 1.8 meters, and there are not many people, so you can swim to your heart's content. And I don't know if they were locals or tourists, but everyone was swimming freestyle in a sophisticated way, and I felt like I was part of the Habsburg royal family ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
• Rooftop outdoor bath: You can get there by going up a narrow staircase at the end of the wellness area. Around sunset, people are waiting and sitting in the bath, so it can be hard to find a good spot. It's probably best to go there an hour before sunset. And if you bring your phone only at this time, you can take many pretty pictures. (Many other people were also taking pictures)

Night View

As I left the spa, the sun began to set.
The beautiful scenery I saw while crossing the bridge.

And the beautiful night view I saw right after crossing into the downtown area.
This picture is the most memorable from this trip.
Soft yellow lights, a dark sky, and a narrow street with luxurious stone buildings on either side.
It was exactly the atmosphere of Hungary that I wanted to remember.

VAKVARJU Restaurant

I looked it up and it seems to be quite famous among Koreans.
Both in Hungary and Austria, it can be difficult to get a seat if you don't make a reservation in advance.
But when we went on Friday night at 5:30, we asked if they had a table, and they said we could have the table until 7:20, but it was okay, so we said yes.

I recommend having goulash here! The goulash was a real treat, rich and deeply flavored. I kept thinking about it after I left.
And there was this homemade mixed berry drink that was just the right amount of sweetness and went down so smoothly, and it had a lot of ingredients.
There was also this lemon beer among the non-alcoholic beers, and that was delicious too.
The main dish was duck pasta, but I couldn't eat much because it had a slightly fishy smell and was a little chewy, but my boyfriend said it was delicious.

BITE BAKERY

On my way back to the accommodation, I stopped by the nearby bite bakery and
bought a cinnamon roll. I was too full, so I ate it for breakfast the next day.
But it was still delicious even after a day. It was so delicious that I couldn't take a picture ㅋㅋ.
It was sweet, chewy, and full of cinnamon flavor. It was so delicious.
