What it is

Eger's Turkish bath was built between 1610 and 1617, when the town was Ottoman, and its pool under the dome is the oldest part. The rest of the building was added over the following centuries. Today it has six pools 90 cm deep: three of radioactive medicinal water at 30 degrees (the Turkish one and two "mirror" pools), one hot at 38, one warm at 36 and one cold at 28. There is a sauna, an infrared sauna, a steam bath, an aroma cabin and a rest room, and hammam-style massages.
