Budapest is famous for its thermal baths, where tourists and locals go to swim, relax, and soak in hot or cold mineral waters. Thermal baths differ from normal baths or swimming pools because their hot water is drawn up from deep under the earth's surface where temperatures are higher.
The thermal hot water saves on heating bills and also has different mineral contents compared to normal tap water. Soaking in certain types of mineral water is considered to have health benefits for some types of health problems, so it's not uncommon for Hungarians or visitors to come to the baths for therapeutic reasons, sometimes even prescribed by a doctor.
Thermal bathing is more popular in Hungary than in other destinations for several reasons. First, because of Budapest's geography, thermal waters run closer to the surface here than in other places. Secondly, thermal bathing was and is popular among many Turkish cultures, and Hungary was occupied by the Turkish people of the Ottoman Empire for many years.
In Budapest, some thermal baths are large, historic complexes visited as a cultural as well as a bathing experience.

So, one should change as little as possible there. Typical vendors accept only local currency, although euros may be accepted at major attractions or very touristy places. Sometimes the exchange rate is fair and sometimes quite bad. Forint can be obtained by exchanging money at a vendor, exchanging money at a bank, or withdrawing money from a local bank machine. Bank machines generally give 20, HUF notes but will also give smaller bills if withdrawing irregular sums of money e.

Second hand shops can be found throughout the city, often advertising themselves as selling "Angol" English wares or displaying a British flag. These shops purchase bulk used clothing in Western Europe and sell it in Hungary, since used clothes from other places are thought to be more lightly used or more fashionable styles than local ones.
