Culture and History
The former village of Tapolca, most famous for its cave bath (Barlang-fürdő). It's a must-see if you're not allergic to water.

Travel to Miskolc-Tapolca, visa requirements
If you come by car you may expect some trouble, since there is really only one way to get into the village, and it goes through Miskolc, which is not famous for having good road signs. If you are very careful and have at least 2 spare eyes to read the signs, you may well succeed. Or simply ask locals for directions if you feel lost. The spa is about 3 miles south of Miskolc city center, west of the main road.
You can also take the bus no. 2 which goes from Búza tér (large bus station in the centre of Miskolc) to Tapolca. You can buy bus tickets on the station (or on the bus for a somewhat bigger price). Bus tickets are 180 HUF (or 250 if you buy it on the bus), ten tickets are 1600 HUF.

Get around
Probably the best way to see the spa is on foot.

City tours
The Cave Bath [2] A unique experience to swim (well, you can't really swim there), splash, play and walk around in a large cave system, which has water temperatures from 20-36 Celsius (thermal water), and has warm, wet air inside even in the winter. The caves are around 150 meters long but naturally nothing is straight, and it's all quite dark (it's a cave, after all). The bath also has pools outside the cave. The Cave Bath is surrounded by a large park which has an artificial lake where you can row boats.

Shopping, Miskolc-Tapolca souvenirs

Good restaurants and cheap meals
"Tusculanum" (restaurant): not easy to find. In the summer, you can sit in the restaurant's garden. Food is pretty good (don't miss the "Grandmother's Meat Soup", and don't expect to be able to eat much more after you are done). Fair prices, service varies widely with the waiter who serves you.
