Healing water, although different in composition, is effective for diseases of the spine, joints, and nervous system, and is used in drinking courses. It is ideal for health improvement and relaxation.
Many people are familiar with the baths of Széchenyi and Gellért, but believe me, "Thermal Budapest" is not just these two baths! In our review, we will compare two other baths based on three criteria: thermal section, pools, and wellness facilities.
Lukács is the favorite of locals who dislike crowds and hype. The water, along with the treatments, has a strong medical effect, as evidenced by numerous marble plaques installed in gratitude from people around the world after successful healing. You can consume the healing water from the fountain or buy it in bottles.

Rudas is for lovers of authentic Turkish and nighttime bathing. For over 450 years, on Tuesdays, only women can visit, while the rest of the weekdays are reserved for men. Joint visits are possible on Thursdays after 13:00, Fridays after 11:00, on weekends, and during the nighttime bathing on Friday and Saturday from 22:00 to 03:00. Traditional hammam is available as a separate paid procedure. The water contains over 1900 mg of beneficial substances per 1 m3 and has a rejuvenating effect.
