Budapest is known for its ther- mal baths, while Hungary is known generally for its spas. There are so many thermal baths here that it’s difficult to choose one. People have been utilising these miner- al-rich waters for health, relaxa- tion and enjoyment for centuries, going all the way back to the Ro- mans. Centuries later, the Otto- mans also used the healing waters during their 150-year rule. That’s why there are so many bathhouses, but we recommend these... Rudas The Turkish bathhouse here was built in the 16 th century, during the period of the Ottoman occupation. Under a dome with a 10-metre di- ameter, supported on eight pillars, is a swimming pool that was built in 1896. Rudas is probably Bu- dapest’s most popular medieval Turkish bathhouse, which stands out from the competition thanks

outdoors is particularly interesting here in winter, when you can’t see yourself for the steam, but you can enjoy the beautiful architecture of the surrounding buildings. Harkány Probably one of the most pop- ular spas in Hungary, it is located in the vicinity of Pécs, Hungary’s fifth largest city, which has archi- tecture and history that have been luring tourists for decades.
