Sports
Despite having a population of less than 11 million people Hungary had always
been blessed with high quality sportsmen and women who had made the nation
proud. The first name that springs out of my mind is the great Ferenc Puskas
that with players like Joszef Boszik, Sándor Kocsis and Nándor Hidegkuti lead
Hungary football team to the World cup finals. Yet Hungary pride also of other
legends who had enriched Hungary's sports history with Olympic medals.
A list of the most popular sports in Hungary
Despite the fact that Football had never reached the amazing levels
witnessed during the Golden times, Hungary still pride of an
above average level of football. In Budapest the most popular clubs are
Ferencvaros, Kispest, HonvEd, MTK Hungária FC and Ujpest.
Water Sports are very popular in Hungary. Like in football the
facilities are usually family oriented and they pride of cheap entrance
tickets.
Hungary Formula 1 Grand Prix is held each August at the
Hungaroring, east of Budapest at Mogyorod. There is a great demand for
tickets and prices are not cheap.

Royal Spa & Wellness Center
The rebirth of the "Royal legend" will be fulfilled beginning of 2006
when the Royal Spa & Wellness Center reopens its gates for its Jubilee, and
will provide guests and members with a new experience of relaxation, combining
the historical bath with nowadays wellness needs.
The history of the Royal’s Spa
The spa was planned and built by the architect Vilmos Freund in 1886-88. At that
time it contained steam baths, wave and shower baths, electric baths, pneumatic
chamber and a medical room with cold water. Contemporary journalists were
fascinated by the spa’s appearance. In 1903 direct access was created for
hotel guests. After the First World War, Freund was declared bankrupt and his
heirs sold the spa in 1923 to the Royal Nagyszallo Rt. The spa operated until
1944 but from that time it has been closed. The abandoned, obsolete spa was
rediscovered in 1983 and, according to the original documents, there were plans
to use the spa area for parking facilities. Thankfully, Janos Dianoczki, who was
in charge of planning the multi-storey car park, turned down the proposal. The
media and the public supported him and his decision made it possible to restore
the spa today.
Until the Royal Spa & Wellness Center opens its gates, we offer our guests
the services of the Aphrodite Spa & Health Center of the Corinthia Aquincum
Hotel.
