Gellert Bath Magnet

Budapest Gellert Bath (Gellért fürdő), Budapest, Hungary The Gellert bath is located on the right bank of the Danube river in front of the Liberty bridge. The thermal waters of the Gellérthegy were used from the 13th century. During the Ottoman domination the waters supplied several baths on Danube's bank. The old bath was demolished in the early 20th century and an Art Nouveau style luxurious hotel-bath-hospital complex was built between 1912-1918. There are thermal baths, plunge pools and an open air swimming pool with a wave machine. The roof of the main swimming pool can be opened during the summer. During WW2 both the bath and the hotel suffered significant damage. Today it's one of the most popular baths of Budapest.
