Gellért Thermal Bath
Gellért gyógyfürdő
An Art Nouveau thermal bath at the foot of Gellért Hill, known for its coloured mosaics, glass dome and colonnaded pool. It is often called one of the most beautiful bathhouses in the world.
Opened in 1918 and connected to the Hotel Gellért, this is Budapest's most ornate thermal bath. The glass dome of the entrance hall, the Roman-style colonnades around the indoor pool, and the Zsolnay ceramic mosaics in the thermal pools are all highly photogenic. Thermal water runs at about 35 to 40°C, and in summer there is an outdoor wave pool. Admission, including a locker, costs over 10,000 forints, and prices are higher on weekends. Bring your own swimsuit, slippers and towel, or rent a towel there. The bath and hotel have been under renovation in recent years, so check the official website for opening status before you go. It is on the Buda side of Liberty Bridge. Take the M4 line to Szent Gellért tér station.
