Ahh the city of spas! 🇭🇺 🧖🏻‍♀️ 🧖🏽‍♂️

Did you know Budapest has over 123 natural thermal springs beneath the city? The thermal baths have been used for centuries for therapeutic purposes. The most popular one is the Széchenyi Thermal Bath built in 1881. It's one of the largest public bath complexes in Europe, and the first thermal bath in Pest!

Travel and experiential learning helps students find their passions before entering into higher education. There are so many benefits to student travel! ✈️ 🌍 🇫🇷

"I’m so incredibly thankful for this tour! Traveling is one of my favorite things! I will always love this trip and I cannot wait to spend some more time in Paris, France. I can’t wait for more adventures and I can’t believe I traveled a good portion of Europe when I was 17. Some things are amazing and this tour and this trip was too. I'm so thankful I was brought this opportunity sophomore year of high school. Thanks Ms. Oatman and thank you Leanne, our WorldStrides tour guide!" - Spencer M.
