  • Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of Vagabrothers'

  • winter adventures in Europe.

  • This week we're exploring Budapest bath culture so bring your bathing suit.

  • ...and a towel, because they'll charge you if you don't.

  • After a week of feasting and drinking in the Czech Republic

  • we decided it was time for a change of pace.

  • We edit a lot of our videos on the road and every once in a while we need

  • inexpensive and relaxing place to get some work done.

  • Budapest fits the bill perfectly.

  • Budapest is a crucial stop on any central European trip

  • It's actually two cities - the hills of Buda and the plains of Pest - divided by the Danube

  • And it's been part of the Roman, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian empires

  • where it was an imperial seat until the end of World War One.

  • But this trip was inspired by Budapest's baths.

  • There's over a hundred and twenty thermal springs that bubble up

  • into beautiful bathhouses, and for these two weary travelers

  • there was no better place to escape the winter winds.

  • Now I'll be honest, I love a good soak, so I made it a priority to make it to the spas of Budapest

  • But first, we had a train to catch.

  • We're going to Budapest, and once again, we're late!

  • Ok, one minute to get the train, let's go!

  • When we arrived, I was a little disoriented

  • So as you can see there's a beautiful little ice skating rink and a castle

  • behind us here in central Prague

  • Try that one again...

  • Sorry, central Budapest.

  • We're like a rock band, don't know where we are... "Good morning, Springfield!"

  • Wait a second, we're in New York!

  • Anyways our first stop was Széchenyi Bathhouse

  • which is one of the most recognizable in the city.

  • The bathhouses embody the many different cultural influences and architectural styles

  • the make the city so cool.

  • The Széchenzyi Spa was built in the "Modern Renaissance" style

  • in 1913, during the last years of the Austro-Hungarian Empire

  • However, I spotted some interesting design details

  • in the statue in the main entrance.

  • I think he's going pee...

  • He's like "Oh, shit! I'm peeing all over the place!"

  • I wonder which artist designed that one..

  • Anyways before we could get into the water we had to get some shots for you guys

  • which was also pretty interesting...

  • Guys if you think vlogging in public is awkward

  • try vlogging in a public bathhouse

  • But eventually, we dropped our stuff in a cabin and got ready to take the plunge.

  • Honestly, sitting in a thermal bath with a cold beer was the perfect way to relax.

  • After a beer, we messed around a bit... from a bit of exercise

  • ...to attempts at synchronized swimming...

  • We watched some old guys play chess

  • I went spa surfing and Marko thought

  • it would be a good idea to put his face up to an underwater jet

  • IDIOT!!!

  • Ugh! I got so much water up my nose!

  • It was really relaxing...almost too relaxing...

  • Because that night we had plans to do something we've heard a lot about..

  • A Spa-Party, known as a "Sparty"

  • Wow! That was awesome. I feel refreshed like a new person

  • and now it's off to get some dinner a beer and then the pool party tonight.

  • [Alex making club music]

  • Behind us is the sparty. So we're on the Buda side of the city of Budapest

  • We are at the Lukacs spa, and this is actually one of the more historical spas in Budapest

  • But this is about the most modern way you could do this.

  • I don't think the founders of the spa would have envisioned people

  • ... bumping and grinding... A Euro-techno dance?

  • I think gonna be either really awesome or kinda weird.

  • Well, we're going to go find out. Let's do it!

  • Ok I got changed, we're ready to go... but I'll be honest...

  • The ratio is really great - if you're a girl. There are about three guys to every girl in there

  • So hey... we're going to have some beers and see what happens.

  • Maybe it was just the night

  • maybe it was the low season, or maybe it was just me, but the ratio was more like and 10 to 1

  • And there was a lot of fratty grab-assing going on

  • GoPro! Woooooooooo!!!

  • In our experience, there are certain things that young single guys

  • are more excited about than young single girls...

  • Such as foam parties, nude beaches and apparently, Sparties.

  • So if you go, guys - take it easy! Girls, stick together. And everyone bring a towel.

  • Because if you don't, they'll charge you.

  • Still, we did our best to have fun and go with the flow.

  • [Drunk dudes screaming]

  • Put this on YouTube!

  • We will!

  • Get me out of here!

  • The next day we decided to stick to something more traditional

  • so we went to one of the oldest spas in Budapest - Rudas.

  • Alright guys, well as you can see it's now snowing

  • but that's a good sign if your gonna go soak. Oh yeah I mean we're now on the

  • Buda side of the river at Rudas spa, which I believe is one of the oldest in town

  • and it's definitely one of the most Turkish.

  • Last time we had a Turkish massage things got weird fast. Yeah, but the Turkish were the ones who brought

  • Ottoman-style bathing here to the city and so we're gonna go see what it's like.

  • I'm ready. I was born ready. Let's go

  • Apologies for the quality of the footage, it was really dark

  • and super steamy, and although we enjoyed it, the GoPro didn't!

  • The waters here are slightly radioactive...

  • but in a good way...I guess... and full of minerals that are good for your body.

  • On our last day in the city

  • woke up early and hiked up to the top of the hill in Buda to get a view of the city.

  • Good morning. Well, it's a bright and sunny day in Budapest we just climbed up

  • Gellart Hill and I think we're gonna go back down to Gellart Spa.

  • Yeah, Gellart Spa is supposed to be a masterpiece of Art Nouveau architecture

  • I don't even know what Art Nouveau is, but it's a pretty building.

  • Basically, we're going to soak in some style

  • The Gellart was built in 1918, right after World War One.

  • and it's a masterpiece of design. It's basically like swimming in a museum

  • Gellart Spa is beautiful. This is definitely the most beautiful.

  • Ifeel like it's like a spa from The Great Gatsby

  • Super intricate, there's details everywhere you look.

  • There's these pillars and it's all symmetrical, and there's beautiful fountains.

  • A lot of people look like they were born about the year this was built, so we're kinda out of place here.

  • It is a Tuesday morning though, so I think that most people are...

  • Most people our age are not in spa-mode right now...vlogging in spas.

  • It's a beautiful place though and now we're going to go take a dip in the main pool.

  • It was a great way to wrap up our time in Budapest and after three days soaking in the spas

  • we're ready for next adventure - snowboarding in the Alps

  • That's right, next week we're going to Austria so make sure you subscribe to

  • this channel follow the adventure, and of course

  • if you like the video give a thumbs up and share to your friends so you can help grow this channel.

  • Also don't forget to download the new app Storie and add us @ "Vagabrothers"

  • We're posting daily videos for behind the scenes.

  • Okay that's it, we'll see you guys in the Alps! Later!

  • It's been so stressful! Trying to find a place to film here today in Budapest.

  • It's been so stressful! There's noise,

  • there's little children, little wee toddlers running around and we can't find a good spot.

  • We've ended up settling on this little pedestrian street but now there's a car behind me and

  • Fuck, mate, we're screwed! We don't have much time, at all.

  • Budapest...

  • Pest...

  • Pest...

  • Alex, stop being such a pest...

  • Pest city ever!
