Since its building in 1918, the Gellért Spa was one the most prestigiousthermal bath on the Buda side of the city. Gellért spa is famous for its main hall with gallery and glass roof, built in the Art-Nouveau style, sparkling bath and open-air pool with artificial waves. The bath is decorated with numerous Art-Nouveau furnishings, artistic mosaics and sculptures.
The earliest remaining records about the "magical healing spring" are from the 15th century. Later the Turkish favorised this spring, becouse it was warmer and larger than any other springs in Buda. In the 17th century the bath was called the "muddy" bath, due to the fine layer of mineral mud consolidated on the bottom of the pools.
The current bath complex and hotel was opened in 1918, and was expanded in 1927 and 1934 with artificial wave pool, and with bubble bath.
Today its working also as a medical bath, with wide variety of services, including even an inhalatorium.

Very nice and luxury swimming pool near the city center of Budapest. Especially in Summer (when it's warm) this is a nice place to be. However Hungarian people will tell you it's expensive, but for West-European standards, it's cheap.

It's been many years, and I'm sure things have changed because the "strong like bull" masseuses practically left me bruised and skinless.
I'm up for adventure, though - I'll give it another try the next time I'm in Budapest!

Indoor areas are segregated for men and women. Outdoor pool area is mixed.
Authentic baths with a bit of history. Very well looked after with friendly staff.
