Rudas Baths
Rudas Baths is one of Budapest’s most historic and atmospheric thermal baths, dating back to the 16th century Ottoman occupation. The centerpiece is an authentic Turkish bath featuring an octagonal pool beneath a 10-meter dome supported by eight pillars, preserving the original hammam experience. The mineral-rich thermal waters, drawn from natural springs, are reputed for their therapeutic benefits, especially for joint and rheumatic conditions. Recent renovations have seamlessly blended tradition with modern wellness, adding a panoramic rooftop pool that offers breathtaking views of the city and river, alongside saunas, steam rooms, and massage services. The bath’s drinking hall allows visitors to sample water from three historic springs, believed to have medicinal properties. Rudas Baths maintains unique traditions: the Turkish section is open to men on most weekdays, women on Tuesdays, and both genders on weekends, while the swimming pool and wellness areas are always mixed. With its centuries-old architecture, authentic Ottoman ambiance, and contemporary comforts, Rudas Baths is a must-see for those seeking both relaxation and a journey into Budapest’s multicultural spa heritage.
