Why Outdoor Spas in Hungary will Start Bathing Season Later than Usual?
Most of Hungary's open-air baths will start opening a few weeks later than usual this year because of higher energy prices, the chief secretary of the Hungarian Baths Association told MTI.

Instead of opening on May 1, open-air baths will gradually start the season around the Pentecost holiday, late in May, Zoltan Balogh said.

The baths will operate at full capacity from the middle of June, with the start of the school holiday, he added.

Entry fees are set to rise by 10-15pc, on average, Balogh said.
