Rudas Thermal Baths (Rudas Gyógyfürdo) Tours

In a city full of bath houses, the Rudas Thermal Baths (Rudas Gyógyfürdo) may be the most popular medieval bath in Budapest.

In addition to six therapy pools and one swimming pool, the Baths offer massage services, foot care, body scrubs, a sauna and drinking cures from three different springs. The interior was completed renovated in 2006.

Rockhoppers' "Mystery of an Ottoman Turkish Bath" Tour
A real unique thing of the world! A 16th century Ottoman Turkish bath fed by natural thermal springs!
Rudas Bath was built by the Ottoman Turks in the 16th century at the place that later got the name: BUDAPEST.
While Turkish baths in Istanbul or other places in Turkey are in short of water, so they have to carry water to the bath and generate steam of it, Budapest has a lot of hot springs; so beside enjoying steam and heat, you may even soak into the pools of various temperature and chemical composition!
Rockhoppers will introduce you to the way how to use the bath, and charge your batteries for a week; and if you have a chance to return, you can prolong the effect.
The hottest pool in the Rudas is radioactive, but don’t worry, it is well below the harmful level, however, it has rejuvenescent effect! However, even if you do it once, the result will be noticeable.
