Overview:
The history of Lukacs Bath reveals that the geothermal hot spring waters coming from deep underground have been used by the St John’s knights in the 12th century. Lukacs Bath has its strengths and specialities, like the many Gratitude Tablets or stone plaques on its walls saying thank you for the healing power of the geothermal waters, or the Himalayan Salt Room for curing respiratory problems. Lukacs Bath may give a small taste of why Budapest is the City of Baths. Come and exeprience it yourself!
This place is a bath used mostly by locals. It is near the Margit Island and Gül Baba Tomb, Buda side of the city. Prices are good but bring your own towel or buy one, it's very expensive to rent a towel here. You have 40degree outdoor pool. nice.
Thank you so much for your kind review!
It's very nice to come to warm baths in winter, relax in hot water and talk about everything in this cosy atmosphere. Very nice place, especially the hot water pool in the open air.

If you only have time for one Budapest bathhouse, or if you are looking for a great value without compromises, skip Széchenyi and Gellért and head right here! Lukács offers a wonderful experience at a lower price than the "big two". It has a variety of thermal pools, two saunas, three outdoor pools that operate year-round (including the "élményfürdő" - a recreational pool with water jets and a circular lazy river), and the Sauna World area, offering five additional saunas for a separate (low) fee (including a "naturist" one, where no swimsuits are allowed). The building, while not built by the Turks, has a lot of history to it and is well maintained. Lukács is the most popular bathhouse among locals, so you won't feel like one of a thousand tourists there. It is co-ed every day of the week (unlike Rudas), and children of all ages are allowed (unlike Király). In addition to bathing in the thermal water, you may also drink it, either from a drinking fountain near one of the pools, or by purchasing a glass in the pavillion situated near the main building. The sour water is an acquired taste, but is supposed to be very good for your health.
