Thermal baths
Thermal baths are a something very famous in Budapest since a very long time ago thanks to the thermal springs on the underground of the city that provides benefits for the health. We say that this water can cure rheumatism, asthma and the hangover after a long night. Baths have also a social aspect, people plays chess during long hours are the prove of it.
The thermal bat was developed since the Ottoman occupation. Turks have left their rich spa culture to the people of Budapest, you can still get an overview of this beautiful legacy by visiting Rudas Baths

The Grand Central Market ("Nagycsarnok" in Hungarian), on Fővám tér in the 9th district, is the largest indoor market in Budapest. It was designed and built by Samu Pecz on the model of Gustav Eiffel in 1900.
