Eger's Turkish bath was built during Ottoman rule in the early seventeenth century and remains one of the few working Ottoman baths in Hungary. Its domed central pool sits inside the modern Eger Thermal Bath complex, where the same radon-bearing spring water is used across a series of pools.

Why visit
The combination of a genuine Ottoman dome and radon-rich water gives Eger a bathing atmosphere quite unlike Budapest's larger, grander houses.
