Journey back to 16th-century Budapest. Imagine the Ottoman era. Picture the Veli Bej Spa, then known as Veli Bej Bath. It was commissioned by Pasha Szokullu Musztafa. This was one of the most beautiful Turkish baths of its time. The Veli Bej Spa is one of the oldest Turkish baths in Budapest. It’s nestled within the grounds of the Budai Irgalmas Rendi Hospital. The spa has been meticulously restored. It reveals its Ottoman roots. The main attraction is the octagonal thermal pool. It sits under a Turkish dome. Four smaller thermal pools surround it. Each has a different temperature. The waters are rich in minerals. These include calcium, magnesium, and fluoride. They are said to have healing properties. They’re sourced from the same wells as the nearby Lukács Baths and Margaret Island. The dimly lit pool area creates a calming atmosphere. It’s perfect for relaxation. Deck chairs are scattered around the pool. The Veli Bej Spa also features modern amenities. These include a swimming pool, jacuzzi, and various saunas. A small exhibition displays archaeological finds. These were discovered during the renovations. They offer a glimpse into the spa’s rich history. You can relax your body and mind at the Veli Bej Spa.
