Rudas Baths

A 16th-century Ottoman bath under an octagonal dome, with a modern rooftop pool over the Danube.

Vasca interna / Vasca esterna

Rudas keeps two lives at once: a Turkish domed chamber from 1550 with a central octagonal pool, and a contemporary wing whose rooftop hot tub looks straight across the river to Pest.

Perché visitarlo

It is the most atmospheric bath in Budapest — sunlight falls through coloured glass in the dome — and the rooftop pool at night is unmatched.
