I was lucky enough to spend a whole day at the Bucharest Thermal Baths and I can say without exaggeration that it was an extraordinary experience, relaxing and fun at the same time 🌞✨ As soon as you enter, you are overwhelmed by an incredible tropical atmosphere 🌴🌺: towering palm trees, natural light filtering through the large glass dome, and a perfect temperature that makes you completely forget you are in Romania. It really feels like being in an exotic resort! 🌊 Pools and surroundings The pools are spectacular: warm, crystal clear water rich in minerals 💦. There are indoor and outdoor pools connected to each other, so you can swim outside even in winter when the air is cool—a magical feeling 🔥❄️. The whirlpool is just the right strength and provides deep relaxation, perfect for relieving tension and stress 😌💆‍♂️ 🎢 Fun and adrenaline The Galaxy area is perfect if you also want a little fun: ultra-modern, colorful, and super-safe slides 🚀🌈. Ideal for both couples and groups of friends who want to alternate between relaxation and adrenaline! 🧖‍♂️ Sauna area (upper level!) The Elysium area is something truly exclusive 🕯️✨: themed saunas with attention to every detail, rituals with sauna masters who transform each session into a complete sensory experience 🌿🔥. Scents, music, steam games... everything designed to help you completely switch off your mind. 🍹 Pool bar and dining The pool bar is one of the details I loved the most 🍹😎: you can sip a cocktail right in the water, without ever leaving the pool. The food is also of excellent quality — fresh, varied, and beautifully presented dishes 🍽️🥗. 🧼 Cleanliness and organization One of the strong points is the organization: easy-to-use electronic lockers, spacious changing rooms, and above all, impeccable cleanliness 👌✨. You can sense a constant focus on customer comfort. In short, the Bucharest Thermal Baths are a perfect mix of relaxation, affordable luxury, and fun 🌟🌴. Whether you want to recharge after a stressful period or simply enjoy a day out of the ordinary, this place is an absolute guarantee 💙 If you're thinking of going, don't hesitate — it's an experience worth every penny 💶🔥

A wonderful visit to this magical place. We were enchanted. We visited the castle, the torture chamber, and the time tunnel. Everything was great, including the final photo.

Therme Bucharest is truly one of the most impressive relaxation and entertainment destinations in Romania. From the moment you step inside, you are welcomed by a modern space filled with natural light and a calm atmosphere, perfect for recharging your batteries. The sauna and relaxation areas are excellent, offering a wide variety of themed saunas, steam baths, and quiet spaces where you can fully unwind. The thermal water pools are comfortable and well maintained, making them ideal for relaxation in any season. The indoor tropical gardens, with exotic plants and soothing landscapes, create the feeling of being in a vacation oasis. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience throughout your visit. In addition, the facilities for children and the wellness & beauty area make Therme a place I highly recommend, whether for deep relaxation or a weekend of indulgence.

Poenari Castle
