The spa culture has a nearly 2,000 year history in Budapest.

Because of an advantageous geographical location thermal water can be found with good quality and in great quantities on over 80% of Hungary's territory.

Christmas Christmas holidays start with Advent in Hungary.This time of year is the preparation for Christmas. Christmas is a private, family holiday in Hungary. Most families decorate the tree together, but some families keep the older tradition that tree should be a surprise for children who even believe it was bought by angels. Children enter the room only when the small tree bells ring and music arises. Gifts lay around the tree with small labels saying the name of someone in the family. Family-members sing Christmas songs together, then open their gifts and spend the night together. The menu for Christmas night is usually fish or cabbage with the special poppy-bread called "beigli." Christmas is a 2-day holiday, big families meet, often traveling to another town, or maybe very close friends visit each other. But these days are private days. Wedding In a traditional Hungarian wedding, the best man visits each of the wedding guest personally and invites them to the wedding. He also arranges all the details of the wedding, which can last as long as three days. Traditional Hungarian wedding dresses were very colorful and covered with elaborate embroidery. In order for a marriage to be legal in Hungary the wedding must take place at the courthouse. The bride and groom and two witnesses take part in a brief civil ceremony and sign their names in the local registry book. Most couples will have a religious ceremony following the civil ceremony. During their engagement, Hungarian couples wear their wedding rings on their left hands. At the end of the wedding ceremony, they switch the rings to their right hands. The bride will give her new husband 3 or 7 handkerchiefs, for good luck, and the groom will give the bride a small bag of coins. Celebrations:
