WELCOME RECEPTION IN GELLÉRT BATHFree of charge

7 June 2010 (Monday) 20:00-22:00 (20 min pleasant walk from the conference venue)

The welcome reception will be held in Gellért bath, which is one of the most popular historical baths in Budapest. The medicinal spring here was already famed in the 13th century. The spa is decorated with a wealth of original Art Nouveau furnishings, artistic mosaics, stained glass windows and sculptures, although the interior of the hotel built alongside has lost many of these fittings over the years.
