Sunday morning \u2013 we decided we wanted to try on of Budapest’s many spas. We quickly picked one and we planned our trip to the Rudas Thermal Bath. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Rudas Spa was founded around 1550. The thermal bath is in the centre of the spa, which was created during ottoman occupation. Even to this day, it is almost totally in its original state. Fort he longest time only men were allowed to use the bath. Rumour has it that politicians and journalists met here for intense conversations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rudas Spa is on the Buda side of the Danube at the base of Gellert Hill. From the outside, the entrance doesn\u2019t really look like it belongs to one of the most beautiful baths in Budapest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The entrance hall has a practical and plain design. It houses the ticket counters, as well as a small spa caf\u00e9 wich is used by the guests of the bath. There are different ticket options. We opted for the thermal bad ticket with access to the sauna. We did not use the pool and wellness area or any of the massages. I was a little surprised that the ticket was for \u201eadmission with changing room\u201c. Turns out that all guests get their own changing cubicle. One leaves all personal belongings behind and a special key opens the door to the cubical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
