Therme București
One of Europe's largest thermal wellness centres, where you can soak in hot springs beneath tropical greenhouses, ride water slides and sweat in saunas.
Therme is located in Balotești, about 20 km north of Bucharest. Using geothermal spring water, it covers a vast indoor area divided into three zones: Galaxy, suited to families, with slides and a wave pool; The Palm, a thermal relaxation area with hundreds of thousands of tropical plants and palm trees, including a pool bar; and Elysium, a sauna and wellness zone for adults only. Tickets are sold by zone and duration, and weekend prices are higher. Bring your swimwear; towels can be rented. Shuttle buses run from the city centre, or you can take the train. A taxi takes about 30 minutes.
