Britain’s only hot spring has been revealed only in the 18th century, but 2000 years ago the ancient Celts had already worshiped the area for its healing water. And as everybody knows who has ever read a Jane Austen novel: only Bath can heal a true lady’s broken heart. But for sure these thermal spas can heal dozens of medical problems too. And there is a rooftop hot pool overlooking the city. Just saying.

#2 KARLOVY VARY, CZECH REPUBLIC

The very first health resort and spa centre in Europe was Karlovy-Vary – in 1508 this new spa has finally cut off the boring (and poor) continental bath habits. Hundreds of aristocratics built villas and spent their time in the city to heal and rejuvenate at one of the 300 thermal water springs. Now you can choose from histrocial to modern spas in a pretty wild and stunning scale. Or try all of them.

#3 SZÉCHENYI THERMAL BATH, BUDAPEST

Incredibly Caribbean-blue seawater in a lava field outside Reykjavik – this is Blue Lagoon in Iceland. There are no doubts if you just soak up the view, you will be already healed. But there are way more options: beyond the good nature of hot thermal springs, believers say that the water’s special mix of silica and natural algae rejuvenate the skin. Magical or not the geothermical mud totally worth a try.
