The Turkish thermal baths of Rudas are unique in Budapest in many ways. Originally, it was a true Turkish steam bath and later expanded to include classic swimming pools. The environment in which the Rudas baths are built, which is steeped in 450 years of history, will also impress you.

Thermal baths in an oriental setting

The spa buildings as we know them today were built in the 16th century during Ottoman rule, making them among the oldest of their kind in Europe. You can enjoy a relaxing dip in the thermal pools in an exotic oriental setting that will transport you far to the East.

The radioactive calcium-magnesium thermal water containing sodium, sulphites, chlorides and fluorides is ideal for treating joint, spinal, orthopaedic and post-traumatic musculoskeletal problems.
