The Guardian: Romanian Spa in Top 10 Budget Spa Holidays in Eastern Europe

Romania is a country who, especially during the communist regime, up to 1989, was renowned in Europe for the thermal springs and spas. The standards of the thermal waters and the affordable prices were the incentives for which foreign tourists came in thousands in Romania for treating their medical affections or simply for enjoying a relaxing holiday.

Now, 30 years after, Romania is also renowned in Europe, but also on other continents, for the quality of the thermal and mineral springs. Recently, New York Times dedicated an article in which the journalists praised Romania for the quality of its mineral springs.

Now, The Guardian included Romanian Baile Herculane resort in the Top 10 Budget Spa Holidays in Eastern Europe. The recommendation say that “inflammatory, spinal and neurological conditions can be soothed by ozone therapy, magnet therapy and herbal plant baths, as well as complimentary access to thermal pools and saunas for all package guests“.

Romanians and foreigners alike seek the Romanian thermal springs for their quality and “life-giving waters“. Maybe this should have been a reason for which Romanian governments which succeeded after 1989 to allot a certain satisfactory budget for improving the conditions of these renowned resorts.

Baile Herculane is nominated along other resorts from Serbia, Belarus, Ukraine or Hungary.
