Lukács is Budapest's most authentically local thermal bath — less touristic than Széchenyi or Gellért, and beloved by Budapestians for its relaxed, neighbourhood atmosphere. The complex, which dates to the 12th century in various forms and was redeveloped in the 19th century, features outdoor thermal and swimming pools, indoor medicinal pools, mud baths, and a full suite of physiotherapy and massage services. Lukács is unusual in having a genuine medical department: doctors are on site, and the baths are used as part of physical rehabilitation programmes. The grounds include a courtyard garden where regulars display plaques of thanks for recovery from illness — a touching Hungarian bathing tradition. Thermal springs reach 22–54°C.
