therme bucharest is europe’s largest thermal spa! from my perspective, this is one of the coolest places i have ever been. there is a massive thermal pool area under a retractable roof, surrounded by palm trees, with various water massage features and an inexpensive swim-up bar. there are pools infused with lithium, calcium, and saltwater imported from the dead sea. there is a sauna area with over a dozen different saunas and steamrooms of varying themes. as night fell, the vibe became decidedly eastern european, with a dj and neon under-water lights. truly epic!
