Budakeszi, a charming town in Pest County, Hungary, is renowned for its thermal spa culture and historic architecture. Home to one of Europe's oldest thermal baths, it attracts visitors seeking relaxation. The Baroque buildings and tranquil streets create a perfect setting for slow travel.
The Royal Thermal Bath is a must-see, blending Ottoman and European architectural styles since the 18th century. St. Stephen's Basilica showcases exquisite Baroque art, while cafes around the Town Square offer authentic local life. Summer brings open-air concerts and markets.
Savor Hungarian classics like Goulash soup and deep-fried Lángos. Don't miss the unique thermal egg, slow-cooked in hot springs. For dessert, try the layered Dobos Torte with caramel and chocolate.
Buses are the main transit, with direct routes from Budapest (40 mins). Most attractions are walkable. Consider a travel pass for multiple rides. Taxis are affordable but insist on metered fares. Note pedestrian zones in the old town.
