Four of the five multi-century Turkish baths in the country are also present: Rudas, Kiraly, Veli bej and Rácz, which reopens soon. The city also offers eight green spa parks, known as "strandfürdő" in Hungarian, as well as eight Olympic swimming pools.

The Rudas baths are among the most impressive in Europe. You do not only visit a spa with hot springs, you travel through the centuries as if in a museum.
