Soak in Rudas Thermal Bath, where Ottoman-era thermal pools sit beside the Danube. Move between the domed historic bath, the saunas and the rooftop pool for a long, restful session.
Full description
Rudas Thermal Bath is a sixteenth-century Ottoman bath complex on the Buda bank of the Danube, centred on a domed octagonal pool surrounded by smaller thermal basins. Alongside the historic Turkish baths it offers a swimming pool, saunas including a salt inhalation option, and a rooftop pool with a panorama of the river.
It is smaller than Széchenyi or Gellért, and opinions on value are mixed, though many praise the atmosphere and the soothing medicinal waters. Opening hours run late, and some weekend nights feature extended night sessions.

This is an exceptional place. Beautiful Turkish baths with incredible medicinal baths, definitely worked wonders on my back. Sauna suite is great, the salt inhalation one is incredible. Loved the panoramic roof top pool too. Relaxing areas quiet and beautiful. Main pool for swimming a proper size and not busy. A must…
