Rudas Baths, the 16th-century Turkish bath and the rooftop jacuzzi

What it is

Rudas is on the Buda bank, at the foot of Gellért Hill and next to Elisabeth Bridge. Its heart is a Turkish bath built around 1550, during the Ottoman occupation: an octagonal pool under a dome with coloured holes that let the light in, surrounded by four pools at different temperatures. Next to it is a modern wellness area with saunas and, on the roof, a jacuzzi with views of the Danube and the bridges.
