St. Gellert Thermal Bath and Swimming Pool
About
Located in Budapest’s 5th district, the Gellért Thermal Bath is a stunning Art‑Nouveau landmark that has welcomed visitors since 1918. The complex is surrounded by mosaic‑covered terraces and features a series of indoor and outdoor thermal pools fed by naturally warm spring water. The main pool, kept at 27 °C, offers slow‑moving waves reminiscent of an ocean, while the smaller children’s pool and sauna rooms provide a full wellness experience. Visitors can marvel at historic architecture, decorative mosaics, and panoramic views of Buda and the Danube. Whether you’re seeking a relaxing respite after a day of sightseeing or a traditional Hungarian spa experience, Gellért Baths offers a tranquil retreat blending historical charm with modern comfort. The bath is currently closed from 1 October 2025 with a planned reopening in 2028. It remains a must‑visit attraction for those interested in thermal wellness and Budapest’s architectural heritage.
