hongrie : budapest-the-baths, thermal capital
DESCRIPTION
Budapest is the unique capital of the world where 70 million liters of thermal water gush out 118 natural springs that supply12 thermal baths among which the famous Gellert, Szechenyi, St Lukaacs Baths. Since Antiquity, Roman people, living in the territories located west to the Danube river, founded, at this place, their headquarter, Aquincum, because they appreciated water with curative property of the thermal springs. During the twenties, the policy of the city used the thermal springs as the main axe for touristic developments. Today, the swimmers appreciate as much the baths with Baroque architecture than the leisure centre like Aquaworld. To know, in 2008, the biggest underground terms in the world was discovered in Budapest.TRANSCRIPT
