The baths and their buildings boast grand architecture and artwork, and huge bathing pools. Some of the most famous baths were built near Budapest, including the grand Szechenyi, the luxurious Art Nouveau styled Gellert, and the ancient Rudas (which still preserves much of its Ottoman style). ![]() ![]() The culture of bathing in Hungary has deep roots from both the East and West, and the country is dotted with numerous natural thermal springs. Unlike the normal Zoo, the Thermal Bath does not grant +1 Science to Marsh and Rainforest tiles in the city. Under various conditions, the Thermal Bath supplies as many Amenities as or even twice as many as the Stadium at only three quarters of the production cost, not to mention extra regional Production bonus and early Tourism, thus if you manage to settle near a Geothermal Fissure, you can easily make all of your cities within 6 tiles ecstatic without wasting 480 more Production on building a Stadium for more Amenities. This building encourages the Hungarians to look for and settle near Volcanoes where Geothermal Fissures are available (likely a simple task thanks to their sizable start bias towards this terrain feature). The Thermal Bath is an interesting replacement for the standard Zoo, a rather underutilized building in an underwhelming and often neglected district.
