The Rudas Thermal Bath is one of Budapest’s oldest and best-known Turkish baths, located at the foot of Gellért Hill on the Buda embankment of the Danube. The bath was built in the 16th century during the Ottoman occupation.

Its central element is the historic Turkish bath hall, where light filtering through the small glass windows of the dome illuminates the octagonal pool and the surrounding stone columns. This section remains one of Budapest’s most authentic Ottoman-era architectural monuments.

In recent years, Rudas Bath has undergone major renovation. The historic bath is now complemented by a modern wellness wing and a panorama pool overlooking the Danube, from which unique views open toward Liberty Bridge and the Pest embankment.
