Baths in Bucharest

The spa was brilliant. I love how one part is relaxing, with pools, saunas and treatments then next door, it's fun rides and slides. Downside was no drinking water available other than bottles of water to buy and a few unfriendly workers! Would definitely recommend! Food could be better but the Nutella crepes were excellent. We went midweek and was quiet during the day, seemed to get busier from 4pm.

The all-day pass is a perfect buy. My only suggestion (though maybe I just missed it) is that the entrance from the locker rooms should be more clearly marked... but it's not a big deal. The whole day was fabulous—not a single flaw!

Architecture of power is, after all, designed to impress, and it usually succeeds in doing so. However, it’s important to keep the historical context in mind. In Berlin, we also have a number of colossal buildings from other regimes that are impressive at first glance and, at the same time, serve as reminders to uphold democracy and human rights as the highest values of civilization. I particularly liked how the poised lady who guided us through the building consistently placed the gigantism we were experiencing in its historical context in a clear and critical manner!

I really liked the huge crystal chandeliers. They are beautiful and very impressive. The marble stairs and floors look amazing. The rooms are very large and elegant. I liked the detailed wooden doors and furniture. The carpets are huge and beautifully made. The high ceilings make the rooms feel even bigger.
