The Széchenyi Medicinal Bath in Budapest is the largest medicinal bath in Europe, drawing its water from two thermal springs with temperatures of 74°C and 77°C. The mineral-rich water contains sulfate, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, along with metaboric acid and fluoride.
The Gellért Thermal Bath, part of the historic Hotel Gellért in Buda, Budapest, was built in Art Nouveau style between 1912 and 1918. Although it was damaged during World War II, it was later restored. Historical references to the healing waters here date back to the 13th century when a hospital occupied the site. During the Ottoman Empire, baths were established, and the “magical healing spring” became popular with the Turks in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Rudas Bath, another thermal bath in Budapest, was established in 1571/1572 during Ottoman rule. The bath retains many classic Hammam elements, such as an Ottoman dome and an octagonal pool. It features six therapy pools and a swimming pool, with water temperatures ranging from 10°C to 42°C (50°F to 108°F). The slightly radioactive thermal water contains sulfate, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, and fluoride.
