Overview
Built during 17th-century Ottoman rule, this Turkish hammam is one of the very few Ottoman-era baths surviving outside Budapest. Bathing in the octagonal pool beneath a domed ceiling pierced by shafts of light feels like time-traveling to the Ottoman era. Recently restored, it combines historical atmosphere with modern amenities. Smaller and more atmospheric than the Eger thermal baths. Admission about HUF 2,500. 10-minute walk from the city center.
Opening Hours
15:00-21:00 (Tue-Sun; closed Mondays; varies by season)
Travel Tips
Smaller than the main thermal bath but far more atmospheric historically. Visit both to compare the experiences.
