Thermal and swimming pools in a 19th-century spa in Buda, without the crowds · 7,000 Ft on weekdays, 8,000 Ft at weekends · 7:00 to 19:00

What it is
Lukács is the spa where the people of Buda go: fewer photos, more older people swimming lengths and chatting in the hot water. It is next to Margaret Bridge, on Frankel Leó út. It has medicinal thermal water pools at different temperatures, outdoor swimming pools and a sauna area. It is the quiet option if Széchenyi seems too busy.
