After having a hard day, relaxing in a swimming pool with hot water is one of life’s most enjoyable experiences, and there is nothing quite like the sensations that can be obtained from a soak in a pool that contains its own thermal water. A brief summary of some of the top hot springs in Europe is provided below, ranging from the beautiful Blue Lagoon, that can be found in Iceland to the most fashionable spa in Switzerland.

1. Blue Lagoon, Iceland

Blue Lagoon Spa, Iceland
This bright turquoise water pool, located in a ravaged lava field 30 minutes outside of Reykjavik, could easily be mistaken for a natural feature of Iceland’s landscape, but it is actually part of an artificial complex that is incredibly rich in water. A geothermal power plant near Svartsengi recycles minerals that have been extracted. For those who wish to apply their own face masks, white geothermal mud tubes, which are high in silicon, are available.

Although it is not known for certain why the water found in the Blue Lagoon is so helpful to the skin, it is most likely due to a combination of minerals, bacteria, and algae contained in the water at the time of the study. Calcium, chloride, and natron are all present in the water of the Blue Lagoon, and these elements combine to form sea salt.

2. Therme Vals, Switzerland

Those who participate in the architectural experience are engaged by the empowering building and the extraordinary presence that emerges from the mountains surrounding it.

The neo-baroque thermal complex Széchenyi, located in the Budapest city park and featuring 18 separate swimming pools as well as ten additional saunas and steam rooms, is one of the most popular attractions in the Hungarian capital.

From the moment you step outside the Szechenyi Thermal Bath in Budapest, you will be taken aback by the natural beauty of the place. The outdoor pools are divided into three distinct zones for your enjoyment. Two circular thermal pools are located on opposing sides of a long, beautiful lap pool that spans the middle of the facility. In every direction, they are surrounded by Neo-Baroque architecture and bright yellow walls, with numerous intricate white sculptures to be found everywhere. Almost as if you’re swimming within a huge palace!

5. Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), Czech Republic

The mineral waters of Karlovy Vary were discovered by the Roman emperor Charles IV, who created this spa town in western Bohemia in the 14th century. The waters of Karlovy Vary are said to have healing powers on both the external and internal bodies. Many hotels, such as the famous Carlsbad Plaza, offer conventional baths, but you may also drink water from springs in some of the city’s ancient colonial buildings, which are scattered throughout the city.
