Good tries, but none right so far. As we started this Quiz a day after we normally do, I`ll post another clue in around 6 hours time if no one gets it right by then.

After that clues will be posted daily.

The Rudas Baths

Rudas is a 16th-century Turkish bath It's finally turned co-ed on certain days after 500 years of being men only. Mixed days include Sunday. An amazing experience can be had there - go early in the morning before the crowds and chill under the cupola in one of the five hot pools and watch the shafts of light coming through the coloured glass octagons in the ceiling, wrapped in clouds of steam. It's the most relaxing place you'll find in a capital city anywhere in Europe.

Quote:
Rudas Bath or Rudas fürdő is a thermal and medicinal bath that was first built in 1550, during the time of the Turkish occupation of Hungary. To date, it retains many of the key elements of a Turkish bath, exemplified by its Turkish dome and octagonal pool. It is located at Döbrentei tér 9 on the Buda side of Erzsébet Bridge.

The baths were used as a location in the 1988 action movie Red Heat, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Belushi.

It re-opened at the beginning of 2006, after a comprehensive renovation of its interior.
