I expected there to be plenty of stalls with souvenirs but the majority was stalls with some food. And I must confirm, the choice was pretty big, from some snacks to specialities and of course hot drinks like hot wine or punch. Check the pictures bellow to see some Hungarian cuisine. What I can really recommend is - sausages, mild or very spicy, depends on your preferences.
In the city you can find couple of thermal baths but what I can recommend is to go to Szechenyi bath, huge bath complex (one of the or maybe even the biggest in Europe), built in 1913 in Neo-baroque style, located in the City park (the best access is by metro - station Szechenyi Furdo - again yellow line).
The complex itself has 3 outdoor and 15 indoor pools. What can make somebody interested is that the components of thermal water include sulphate, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate and a significant amount of fluoride acid and metaboric acid. Some of the components are pretty smelly but after couple of minutes in the bath you can easily get used to it and smell nothing.
And this is even great experience to have a bath outside in December. Don't worry about cold weather in winter time. Even if ambient temperature drops deeply bellow zero, water in the outdoor pools always has a pleasant temperature around 35 °C.
