Bath and sauna are the best way to rest and relax, and at the same time to improve your health and get a powerful boost of energy. Everyone knows this very well, and therefore today the construction of houses with saunas is very common. However, there are baths for which a city or country is famous all over the world. We offer you a rating of the most famous baths in the world.

Let's start with Moscow. It is here that probably the oldest public baths in the city are located - Sandunovskie. They began to work in 1808, and since then they have not lost their popularity. The building in which the baths are located is an architectural monument. The interior of the baths, of course, has been repeatedly updated, but as close as possible to the original appearance.

One of the most popular baths in Europe is the Gellert complex in Budapest, Hungary. And the first thing that strikes him is not at all "bath" interiors. The locals jokingly nicknamed the complex the "cathedral" for the luxury of the furnishings, and in the 30s of the last century, the largest pool was covered with glass and a ballroom was set up.

Каждая страна имеет свои банные особенности, и любые мастера, которые скажут вам: «>Строим бани!», – сделают это по-своему. В Японии, например, в банях парилки как таковой нет, вместо этого здесь ванны, наполненные горячей водой. Эти бани называются Дайкоку-Ю и построены еще в 1927 году.

In the Turkish capital of Istanbul, it is worth visiting the real Turkish baths - the Gedik Pasha complex. Surprisingly, the building in which the baths are located (in Turkish they are called hammam) was built in the 15th century. Of course, it was reconstructed and restored from destruction by time, but it has come down to our days almost intact.

Well, if you find yourself in Georgia, you should visit the famous sulfur baths in Tbilisi. Even Pushkin mentioned them as the best among both Russian and Turkish counterparts. Baths are located in the basement, here you can soak up the healing sulfuric water of heated pools.
